Sir Jim Smith is Head of the Wellcome Science Review and Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute’s Developmental Biology Laboratory. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society and was knighted in 2017 for services to medical research and science education.

In this episode, we talk about the future of embryonic research, including the development of new stem cell therapies for humans. We also talk about Sir Jim's leadership, including how he decides who gets funding, how to make science more collaborative, and how to bring a diverse community of people together for the best results.

Enjoy!
