    In this week’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Frank L. Douglas, PH.D., M.D. to discuss the negative impact of anxiety, stress, and discrimination in the workplace. His extensive education and experience allow him to speak with great insight and authority on this important topic. Dr. Douglas believes that personal problems can be reframed to produce better outcomes and increase personal satisfaction. Dr. Douglas is an award-winning industry veteran with three decades of experience in healthcare, the pharmaceutical industry, and entrepreneurship. Dr. Douglas holds a Ph.D. in physical chemistry and an M.D. from Cornell University. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution and a fellowship in neuroendocrinology at the National Institutes of Health. In spite of episodes of discrimination, Dr. Douglas became the first Black member to be on the board of management of a top 5 global pharmaceutical company. This makes him an excellent choice for lecturing on these revelatory topics. Additionally, Dr. Douglas served as Executive Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer, and Member of the Board of Management of large pharmaceutical companies such as Aventis SA (now Sanofi, SA). Some of his past experiences include being President and CEO of the Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron; Chief Scientific Advisor of Bayer Healthcare, AG; Founder and First Executive Director of the MIT Center for Biomedical Innovation; Professor of the Practice at the MIT Sloan School of Management and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health, Science, and Technology.
