Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Beauty meets Science
Q: What advice would you give young chemists who love beauty and science?
Treat makeup like you do science, embrace failure, and allow yourself to be yourself in both spaces; foundational confidence comes from doing the work and letting your authentic self guide opportunities.
Beyond the Buzzwords
Q: How can young scientists and formulators avoid misinformation and build credible networks online?
She advises identifying genuine experts, vetting information sources, avoiding copy-paste or generic outreach, and using personal connection methods (LinkedIn messages) to build trust and meaningful collaborations.
Beyond the Buzzwords
Q: What was the origin of your platforms when you decided to pivot into SciComm?
Jen explains she began with science writing during undergrad, then used podcasting and conferences to build a platform that could educate and connect experts, ultimately expanding into The Eco Well and Beauty SciComm Advocacy.
From Labs to Leadership
Q: What soft skills are as important as technical skills for young professionals in this field?
She highlights relationship-building, reading a room, empathy, and handling rejection with grace as essential, along with ongoing learning and asking questions to bridge knowledge gaps with scientists.
From Labs to Leadership
Q: How did you navigate pivoting from R&D into sales and eventually into leadership?
She explains moving from an R&D and lab focus to sales via a family-owned distributor, pushing for leadership when a leadership gap appeared, and leveraging prior experiences to build credibility, culminating in managing the US sales team.
