The theme connecting these ideas is that the way to gain recognition as a scientist is to act like one. Although being in the lab or at your computer is necessary for your research project, budgeting time week-to-week to engage with the scientific community at home and on the outside is not a diversion but an essential activity, part of the life of every working scientist. It is also how you establish your own old boy network.
It is better to court invitations to apply for the research job you would like — and a successful courtship is not an overnight project.
