This week’s speaker is Ted Yoo, Scientist at Metronom Health, and one of the original Brews and Brains coordinators (coming back in June as Brain Public). He will be talking about his life as an unwitting purple squirrel. How do you go from a thesis in nuclear fuel reprocessing to working at a glucose monitoring start-up? Mostly by accident. The overlap between these two subjects is basically zero. But, sometimes, success is less about specific subject knowledge and more about leveraging your toolkit. That and managing your imposter’s syndrome. Come and hear a harrowing tale of fluorescence microscopy and post-grad life anxiety.
