BOS EPISODE 16: Mentoring & Science Sustainability

We are so excited to have you join us for Episode 16 where we cover mentoring and science sustainability, two very important factors in our lives as scientists.In this episode we meet with Dr. Adam Gracz from Emory University and learn about his approach to mentoring and holistic lab management. He gave us great advice and tips on being a leader and his transition to start his own lab. We also interview Noah Pyles, co-founder of Polycarbin, a bio-sustainability company that is working to change how labs across the US approach plastic waste. He discusses the mission of Polycarbin, pipet tip recycling (yes! that's right- you can recycle unused, expired pipet tips!), and minimizing waste as a researcher. Our cohost, Dr. Vik Meadows, also recaps her experience as part of the IRACDA 2023 conference in San Antonio, TX.We are grateful for your support of our podcast! Our goal is to continue serving our community by sharing the behind the scenes stories from scientists, disseminate advice and tips on thriving in research, and honest science communication.Thank you for tuning in!
