We thought we would spend our careers doing research. Instead, we found ourselves helping other people solve problems so their research could create greater impact. Along the way, we built businesses, secured funding, developed partnerships, won awards, and discovered that many of the barriers to impact aren’t scientific problems.
Join Dr Kylie Hewson and Dr Bridie Schultz for a conversation about opportunity, impact, and the unexpected directions scientific careers can take.
