Behind Our Science Behind Our Science

In our first episode of 2023 the team reflects on the career and life events that made 2022 so unique to each of us at BOS.

In episode 14  we discuss the impact of leadership in our careers and recap how events like Leadership Academy, co-hosted by ASIP & Catalysts of Awesomeness, help us become strong leaders as scientists, mentors, and community members. We also recap our experience at the first in-person SACNAS NDiSTEM, since the pandemic, that took place in San Juan, PR. If you're interested in joining and supporting the SACNAS mission of achieving true diversity and celebration of culture in STEM check them out at https://www.sacnas.org/.

We want to thank you for the support of our podcast! It has been an interesting journey and we love sharing science with you. Although this was a year of transition for many of us at BOS, we are eager to welcome the new year with new opportunities and are excited for the upcoming episodes we have planned.

Our episode wraps with a reverse interview with our special guest podcaster. Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode we discuss the importance of SELF ESTEAM, the impact of art in science and how it relates to everything we do in and outside of academic research.
Daisy was able to interview Amir Bitran, a PhD candidate at Harvard, composer and scientist about his most recent classical music composition influenced by his research and science. We are sharing a piece of his art at the end of this video.

We are 28 days away from PISA ASIP 2022. There is still time to register and attend this wonderful program put together from the meeting chair, our very own Vik Meadows!!!

LIVE EPISODE 4

May is Women in Pathology Month and Behind Our Science is excited to celebrate with Drs. Mindy, Amy, and Kristen Engevik. We hear about their experience as women and sisters in science, navigating careers in academia, and their famous #FluorescentFriday tips for immunostaining.

In this episode we introduce funding opportunities for undergraduate and graduate trainees from the Histochemical Society due May 31 and June 30, respectively.
