Charlie Swanton on perseverance, scientific change and asking questions

In this episode of The Cancer Researcher Podcast we interview Professor Charlie Swanton, Deputy Clinical Director of the Francis Crick Institute and Chief Clinician at Cancer Research UK on his research interests, the evolution of the field and how he turned round his failing PhD. Charlie also shares with us what he’s looking forward to at the EACR Congress ahead of his Keynote Lecture and gives some excellent advice to early-career researchers on how to break away from the shyness that could hold some back from asking questions and networking at conferences. 🔗 Access transcripts for all our episodes at magazine.eacr.org/podcast. 🔗 Find out more about the EACR Congress at eacr.org/congress
