BSCP Trailblazers

At some point in our careers we'll likely be tasked with balancing how our research inside the lab connects with people outside the lab. Dr. Doug Kerr, Chief Medical Officer at Dyne Therapeutics, joins us to talk about creating, maintaining, and fostering human connections in science and medicine, and why it's so important.

When is the right time to switch jobs? What are the criteria for making a change? How can we best utilize our professional networks to find the right position? In our inaugural episode, Dr. Binta Beard, Head of Novartis Foundation Americas, BSCP alum, and the recipient of the 2026 BSCP Hope Alumni Award, joins us to talk about the art of the pivot.

The need for career mentorship and community doesn't end when you graduate. The Biomedical Science Careers Program (BSCP) has inspired thousands of young people of every race, ethnicity, gender, and financial background to ask, "Why not me?", and encourages alumni to continue to ask that question throughout their career.

This podcast features candid conversations with alumni and partners across all ages and stages to showcase diverse career paths, share lessons learned and leadership insight, and highlight the power of community and long-term professional relationships.
