Dr Samantha Payne is Assistant Professor in Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph (Canada). She has recently received funding from the Canada Stem Cell Network to examine how nerves modulate the response of organs and tissues to injury. She has moved quickly from her Postdoc to her first PI role. Interestingly, she has returned to the university where she did her Bachelor's degree and Master.Through listening to our discussion, you can start thinking about:What flexibility may you need when moving between research roles?What opportunities may you create when you are exposed to alternative perspectives and new ways of asking research questions (which you may have skipped if you got your first Postdoc choice)?How are you preparing yourself to take up the responsibilities of managing people and leading a team? If you want to find out more about Samantha: https://ovc.uoguelph.ca/biomedical-sciences/people/faculty/Samantha-Payne
