Yifan tells us about his unique career trajectory, what it felt like to make a ground-breaking discovery, how to build a great lab culture, and how to think productively about scientific competition. This is one of our favorite episodes, you do not want to miss this one!

Melody talks about our shared struggles starting labs during the pandemic, and how to build a cohesive group. We also talk about challenging cryo-EM targets, like integrins, and how the Campbell lab approaches them.

Lisa talks about her recent successes and shares her tips for starting out in Cryo-EM, as well as her vision for the future. This episode is great for trainees looking to get started in this exciting field!

We talk about what it is like to challenge current dogma in cryo-EM (size limits and microscope capabilities), being first gen in academia, and improving cryo-EM accessibility.

Ellen shares her journey into the world of cryo-EM and her excitement for the future of Machine Learning (ML) and structural biology. Mimi, Mike & Liz talk about being newcomers to a field and how to bridge disciplines by building community, like the Machine Learning in Structural Biology Workshop at NEURIPS 2022.
