  • Structural Biologist

    This podcast has some excellent advice for graduate students studying life science disciplines, or any science discipline honestly. I have followed Jen Polk on Twitter for years and found her episode particularly helpful, as she goes through steps to help listeners work out what they really need and want in their future career and life. It helped me to realize that I don’t have to feel guilty about not continuing on in academia!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3E7: “Confronting Burnout in Science” Featuring Dr. Alae Kawam
Q: How should leaders respond to burnout according to the discussion?
Leaders should focus on daily workflows and systemic changes, listen to staff on the ground, and implement humane, human-centered policies rather than only offering individual wellness perks.
S3E7: “Confronting Burnout in Science” Featuring Dr. Alae Kawam
Q: What are the three core components of burnout discussed on the episode?
Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, which together describe how burnout manifests in healthcare and science settings.
S3E2: “Beyond the Impact Factor” Featuring Euan Adie
Q: How do you balance promoting science with avoiding gaming the system?
The hosts discuss the need to be genuine about outreach, with emphasis on building meaningful engagement rather than superficial self-promotion, and acknowledge that AI can help, but there is a risk of manipulation if metrics are optimized purely for visibility.
S3E2: “Beyond the Impact Factor” Featuring Euan Adie
Q: What is Altmetric, and what influences Altmetrics?
Altmetric arose from a manifesto and grew into a broad set of indicators that track non-traditional outputs and mentions across policy, media, and other venues, not just journal citations; its influence depends on how research reaches and engages with audiences beyond academia.
S3E2: “Beyond the Impact Factor” Featuring Euan Adie
Q: What was the issue or the problem you were trying to solve with Altmetric at the time?
Adie explains that traditional metrics failed to capture the broader impact of foundational research, like bioinformatics tools, whose value lies in enabling other work rather than producing a Nature paper, which motivated the pursuit of alternative metrics.
