TLP #34 : The "right" To-Do list - Ana Boskovic 56:08

19 weeks geleden56:08

56:08

This month we talk with Ana Boskovic about her experience of setting up her own lab and hiring a new team Ana began studying languages and literature… but found it too easy, so she switched She questions whether you are ever ‘ready’ to set up your own lab It’s important that you find the right ‘fit’ for the place you want to work and this should be a supportive environment She learnt early that it is important to hire people with diverse personalities who each fill a gap in the skills the lab needs Ana also says it’s important to always be yourself and not pretend to be something you are not She remembers that hiring was the biggest challenge in setting up her own team They need to be dedicated but also well-integrated into the team and the lab culture She balances ambitions with pragmatic considerations to avoid biased approaches Ana loves ‘to do’ lists as a source of satisfaction and to help planning She says you need to be able to trust and respect your mentor because you know they want you to succeed Mentors need to learn to have a conversation and be sensitive to mentees’ needs Ana insists that mentors need to be able to apologize if they get it wrong Ana uses her train ride to plan her day and write her To-Do list She tells us about her favourite Roman emperor, Diocletian She reminds us that “The plural of anecdote is not data” She mentioned these labs, scientists and institutions University of Zagreb https://www.unizg.hr/homepage/ EMBL Rome https://www.embl.org/research/faculty/rome/ Maria Elena Torres-Padilla (podcast episode from Season 1) https://www.buzzsprout.com/1356877/episodes/6624301-tlp-6-just-go-for-it-following-your-curiosity-and-excitement-maria-elena-torres-padilla Maria Elena Torres-Padilla (lab) https://www.helmholtz-munich.de/en/ies/pi/maria-elena-torres-padilla Oliver Rando https://www.umassmed.edu/randolab/ Edith Heard (podcast episode from Season 2) https://thelonelypipette.buzzsprout.com/1356877/episodes/11387623-tlp-12-science-without-frontiers-edith-heard F Scott Fitzgerald https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald Diocletian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocletian Split, Croatia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split,_Croatia To find out more about Ana visit these links You want to support our work ?

This month Ivan Oransky joins us to talk about his work as a journalist and advocate for monitoring scientific misconduct. Ivan confesses about his beginnings as a young playwright of the immune system He discusses how and why he left medicine to become a journalist Ivan’s mentors encouraged him to develop by getting experience as a journalist and editor Ivan reflects on how his training as a physician was helpful and allowed people to trust him He stresses how important it is to read in order to develop story-writing skills Ivan explains that curiosity and attention can help to hunt for good stories He thinks the trend to ‘weaponization’ is central to what’s wrong in science and science communication today He suggests that going ‘upstream’ might help to explain the methodology and not just the results of science Ivan describes the origins of Retraction Watch and looking for the stories behind the retractions He also insists that we need to look upstream to understand what leads to the fraud (or sloppiness) behind the retractions Finally, learning to say NO is an important skill to keeping focused Ivan mentioned these scientists, writers and institutions Harvard University : https://www.harvard.edu/ The Harvard Crimson https://www.thecrimson.com/ Yale University https://www.yale.edu/ The Scientist https://www.the-scientist.com/ Journal of American Medical Association https://jamanetwork.com/ New York University’s Carter Journalism Institute https://journalism.nyu.edu/ The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com Lawrence Altman MD https://www.nytimes.com/by/lawrence-k-altman George Lundberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_D._Lundberg https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1114712/ To find out more about Ivan and his work visit these links at NYU https://journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/profile/ivan-oransky-md/ on Twitter/X https://x.com/ivanoransky Retraction Watch https://retractionwatch.com/ The Transmitter /Spectrum magazine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transmitter Ivan’s first play about the Immune System (aged 11) https://theoranskyjournal.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/immune-system-play.pdf You want to support our work ?

This month we enjoyed talking to Arjun Raj about his interdisciplinary approaches to studying biological systems Arjun shares how he almost became a truck driver and experimented with a career in an (unnamed) rock band He tells us about his journey from mathematics to quantitative biology and he shares thoughts about comparing biology with physics and what they can learn from each other He says we all struggle with how to teach creativity and how to evaluate the most promising ideas. Arjun discusses how to improve mentoring and practical auto-mentoring. He gives specific examples about learning how to peer-review papers. He recommends a narrative-based approach to science communication so that you can leave the audience with a feeling of wonder He is inspired by Star Wars storytelling as a science communicator He says it's important to go through a period of really paying attention to the small details Arjun argues that scientists have become overburdened and that increasing scope creep creates a lot of pressure He mentioned these labs, scientists and institutions University of Pennsylvania https://www.upenn.edu/ UC Berkeley https://www.berkeley.edu/ Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University https://cims.nyu.edu/dynamic/ Massachusetts Institute of Technology https://www.mit.edu/ Fred Kramer https://phri.njms.rutgers.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty/fred-russell-kramer/ Sunjay Tyagi https://phri.njms.rutgers.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty/sanjay-tyagi/ To find out more about Arjun visit these links Raj Lab https://rajlab.seas.upenn.edu/ on Twitter/X https://x.com/arjunrajla Random musings Blog https://rajlaboratory.blogspot.com/ Tools for Science resource https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jBGk-u5auVCvI5EMaQnptMWbxHHl3ncIhKgIgEzjylw/edit You want to support our work ?

TLP #25 : Excellence at the ERC - Maria Leptin 41:40

2 years geleden41:40

41:40

This week, we talk to Maria Leptin about her path to the head of the European Research Council Maria claims she didn’t receive any formal mentoring advice, but rather absorbed and learnt along the way Against the perceived wisdom, Maria warns against the advice to be continually networking. She advises to listen to what others say and then add your own thoughts. Maria is sure that if you really enjoy the stuff you're doing, then you will do it well and you'll get something out of it. She says that sabbatical breaks can be good to ‘put your brain to air a little bit’ She says the ERC aims to select the very best researchers across Europe, across all disciplines, and allow them to make wonderful discoveries. To attract ERC funding, organizations or countries or regions need to create an environment where researchers are happy to work and have good conditions. Maria makes a passionate plea for fundamental research and better access for science journalists After a lie-in, Maria starts the day with a coffee and a cookie in the office Maria likes our question “if you had $100 million or euros to spend in science, how would you spend it?” She uses it herself in interviews.

TLP #24 : The untold power of philosophy - Thomas Pradeu 1:15:35

2 years geleden1:15:35

1:15:35

This week, we meet our first philosopher guest - Thomas Pradeu tells us what scientist can learn from philosophers Thomas shares his journey navigating from philosophy to immunology and biology He explains the difference between ‘philosophy IN biology’ compared to ‘philosophy OF biology’ He mentions ‘mutual ignorance’ - that scientists often don’t know about philosophers who would be interested in their science Thomas argues that philosophers should be brought in at the beginning of a project rather than at the end. He describes his model for embedding philosophers within a biology research environment He gives lots of specific examples, from immunology and beyond, where philosophers made an impact on science by intervening upstream Thomas stresses the importance of challenging the foundations (in the lab and at home) He also stresses the importance of reading every day Thomas talks honestly about the difficulties of improving life-work balance and gender balance in academia Thomas is proud of his success in creating examples of the Philosophy IN Biology networks as a model for interdisciplinary collaboration He mentioned these researchers/philosophers Jean Gayon : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Gayon Edgardo Carosella : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgardo_D._Carosella David Hull : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hull_(philosopher) Elliott Sober : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_Sober Ernst Mayr : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Mayr Richard Dawkins : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawkins Stephen Paget : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Paget Lucie Laplane : https://www.cnrs.fr/fr/personne/lucie-laplane Francis Bacon : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bacon Dick Lewontin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lewontin To find out more about Thomas visit his websites or follow him on Twitter Website : https://www.u-bordeaux.fr/universite/espace-presse/repertoire-dexperts/thomas-pradeu ImmunoConcept Lab : https://immunoconcept.cnrs.fr/conceptual-biology-medicine/ PhilInBioMed: Institute for Philosophy in Biology and Medicine : https://www.philinbiomed.org/ Thomas on Twitter : https://twitter.com/pradeu?lang=en To find out more about Renaud and Jonathan : Twitter : https://twitter.com/LePourpre LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/renaudpourpre/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/Epigenetique LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanweitzman/%20 More about the soundtrack : Music by Amaria - Lovely Swindler https://soundcloud.com/amariamusique/…

This week, Elphege Nora shares personal thoughts on his journey from Paris to California Elphege discovered at an early age that the best way to explain who we are is to look back at where we come from and our evolutionary trajectories From his earliest research experiences, Elphege was intrigued about the sociology of the lab and it’s unusual social etiquette He shares his memories of working with Edith Heard and what she taught him about mentoring He claims that personality tests can be useful for understanding how to interact with colleagues and team members Elphege recommends that it is good to present your work early at conferences in order to gain visibility and attract recruits He shares thoughts about the different scientific approaches he has encountered in Europe and the United States Elphege shares how his interaction with his (famous) father pushed his to think about the abstract and conceptual impacts of his work He had to learn when it’s important to strive for perfection and when it is not He stresses the importance of trust in mentoring relationships He concludes ‘You need to understand what you're good at and what you suck at’ He mentioned these institutions, researchers and resources Curie Institute : https://institut-curie.org/ Gladstone Institute : https://gladstone.org/ Edith Heard : https://thelonelypipette.buzzsprout.com/1356877/11387623-tlp-12-science-without-frontiers-edith-heard Max Greenberg : https://thelonelypipette.buzzsprout.com/1356877/5520439-tlp-1-navigating-the-path-to-team-leader-maxim-greenberg Benoit Bruneau : https://twitter.com/benoitbruneau Moshe Yaniv : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosh%C3%A9_Yaniv Francois Jacob : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Jacob Pierre Nora (Elphege’s father) : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Nora To find out more about Elphege visit his websites or follow him on Twitter Lab website : https://noralab.ucsf.edu/index.php/the-team/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/elphegenoralab?lang=en To find out more about Renaud and Jonathan : Twitter : https://twitter.com/LePourpre LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/renaudpourpre/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/Epigenetique LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanweitzman/%20 More about the soundtrack : Music by Amaria - Lovely Swindler https://soundcloud.com/amariamusique/…

This week, Christophe Lavelle shares his double passion for science and for cooking Christophe left engineering studies for the freedom of research science. And then he jumped from physics to biology for his PhD studies He thinks science makes him a better cook and cites lots of specific examples He describes his very free mentoring style and questions what makes a good mentor He describes his chaotic ‘schizophrenic’’ interdisciplinary interests What has to be done has to be well done - else don’t bother doing it He tells us that the ‘wow’ in the lab is when you finally understand something, but the ’wow’ in the kitchen is when you don’t understand something.

This week, Ana-Maria Lennon-Dumenil tells us about her passion for science interfacing with physics and her journey from Santiago to Paris Ana-Maria was inspired from a very young age by her namesake Ana-Maria Lenon She quickly left genetics because ‘DNA doesn't move enough’ She stresses that every Principal Investigator needs to find their own way and warns against trying to imitate others Ana-Maria feels that the biggest mistake is to think that everyone in the lab is like you (instead of appreciating how different they might be) She stresses the need for optimized communication in the lab and the need to clearly articulate expectations She learnt the hard way that ‘management is not natural’ Ana-Maria laughs about the fact that she was too short to be a chemist She describes the challenges of finding a common language in interdisciplinary research collaborations She also insists on the role of parents in giving confidence to girls at an early age to become scientists She mentioned these institutions, researchers and resources Pasteur Institute : https://www.pasteur.fr/en Harvard University : https://www.harvard.edu/ Curie Institute : https://institut-curie.org/ European Research Council (ERC) : https://erc.europa.eu/homepage Hidde Ploegh : https://www.childrenshospital.org/research/labs/ploegh-lab-research/hidde-ploegh Catherine Alcaide : https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-alcaide-5b165856/ Matthieu Piel : https://curie.fr/personne/matthieu-piel Guillaume Dumenil : https://research.pasteur.fr/fr/member/guillaume-dumenil/ If you are interested in buying a “zester” : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zester She is currently reading “Girl, Woman, Other” by Bernardine Evaristo : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl,_Woman,_Other To find out more about Ana-Maria visit her websites or follow her on Twitter : Lab website : https://institut-curie.org/personne/ana-maria-lennon An interview with Ana-Maria in JCB : https://rupress.org/jcb/article/215/1/2/38770/Ana-Maria-Lennon-Dumenil-A-dynamic-career Her Wikipedia page : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana-Maria_Lennon-Dum%C3%A9nil on Twitter @LennonLab To find out more about Renaud and Jonathan : Twitter : https://twitter.com/LePourpre LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/renaudpourpre/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/Epigenetique LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanweitzman/%20 More about the soundtrack : Music by Amaria - Lovely Swindler https://soundcloud.com/amariamusique/…

In this episode, we talk to George Church about his successful career in DNA repair and his entrepreneurial adventures translating research findings into biotech companies George proudly describes himself as a biologist-engineer He ponders whether his dyslexia may have helped him by making him realize he was different from others when he was growing up He looks for projects in ‘exponential fields’ that combine pure scientific interest, technology breakthroughs and bring societal benefit. George cautions against using the word ‘impossible’ He talks about how he has contributed to scientific and technology revolutions He emphasizes the important of considering ethics, safety and security at the outset of ambitious science projects George remembers how he reacted to having his genome sequenced and speculates about the future of digital genomics and NFTs When recruiting, he looks for people that are ‘nice’ and have deep knowledge in at least two different fields George gets up at 4:30 a.m. and his head is immediately whizzing with new ideas He tells us how much he learns from his grandchildren (and even mends their party dresses) He mentioned these projects, institutions, companies Harvard Medical School : https://hms.harvard.edu/ Duke University: https://duke.edu/ Harvard University : https://www.harvard.edu/ NIH Brain Initiative : https://braininitiative.nih.gov/ NIH Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS) : https://www.genome.gov/Funded-Programs-Projects/Centers-of-Excellence-in-Genomic-Science Wyss Institute : https://wyss.harvard.edu/ Personal Genomes : https://www.personalgenomes.org/ TIME 100 Most Influential People : https://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4742749/george-church/ Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves : https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/george-m-church/regenesis/9780465038657/ Nebula Genomics : https://nebula.org/george-church/ 23andMe : https://www.23andme.com/ Biogen : https://www.biogen.com/ Gail Martin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_R._Martin To find out more about George : Church Lab Website : https://arep.med.harvard.edu/ George on Twitter : https://twitter.com/geochurch To find out more about Renaud and Jonathan : Twitter : https://twitter.com/LePourpre LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/renaudpourpre/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/Epigenetique LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanweitzman/%20 More about the soundtrack : Music by Amaria - Lovely Swindler https://soundcloud.com/amariamusique/…
