Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Chemistry to Neuroscience: How Scientific Curiosity Led to Unexpected Transitions
Q: What was the moment like when you realized microbes on surfaces could influence the octopus's behavior?
She describes years of exploration with hundreds of microbial strains, and how a few specific microbes produced chemicals that activated sensory receptors in the octopus, leading to observable behavioral changes.
From Chemistry to Neuroscience: How Scientific Curiosity Led to Unexpected Transitions
Q: Can you take us back to those early kitchen table experiments with your grandfather and how that shaped the way you think about science?
She explains growing up in Ohio, influenced by a chemist grandfather who used food coloring to make experiments vivid, and how watching chemical changes sparked a sense of magic and curiosity that set her on a science path.
I Quit the Lab for a Fully Remote Biotech Job (With a Chemical Background)
Q: Hello, I've been working in a lab for a year, and I feel like I'm stuck doing the same repetitive tasks. How did you make the jump from a lab role to something like project management?
Start by expanding your skill set within your current role, take on mentoring or training responsibilities, seek stretch assignments outside your day-to-day tasks, and make connections with people who hire for PM roles. Build a narrative that shows you can manage projects and coordinate cross-functional teams.
I Quit the Lab for a Fully Remote Biotech Job (With a Chemical Background)
Q: Hi, I just graduated with a chemical engineering degree, and I'm feeling completely lost about what kind of job I should go for. How did you figure out which path to take and how do I know if I'm qualified for these roles?
Identify what area of work interests you, study job descriptions to see how your transferable skills map to those roles, network with people in desired fields, and be prepared to explain unconventional experiences as relevant to the job. Persistence and networking are key to getting that first interview and opportunity.
Can You Work in Biotech with Just a Bachelor’s in Biology?
Q: What originally drew you to biology?
I've always liked biology, starting from watching documentaries as a kid, which shaped my interest in science and biology as the foundational subject I loved.
