11- Dr Jill Shepherd- Making choices that work for you

Dr Jill Shepherd is a stem cell scientist who lectures at the University of Kent. I met Jill when she was a PhD student at the University of Sheffield. Since then she has worked in Australia as a Postdoc, and back in the UK, she had a period as a consultant working on a bioinformatic project for stem cell science. A defining time in her professional life was the period she spent working in science policy development at the Human Tissue Authority. She was working on policies related to the storage of cord blood stem cells.One of her principles in guiding her professional life has been to make choices that work for her. This shows great strengths and wisdom, as so many of us make choices that we think we should make, and which may not be really choices that work for us. Connecting to what we need in our lives owe to be an anchor in our key professional/ life decisions, but it is not always what guides us.Find Jill here: https://www.kent.ac.uk/biosciences/people/1026/shepherd-jillIf you want to be updated each time I publish a podcast, you can join my mailing list and I will share with you the Podcast link and the shownotes.
