Episode two of the STARTcast features a conversation between START’s Dr. Mary Thompson-Hall and Dr. Ed Carr, Professor and Director of the International Development, Community, and Environment Department and of the Humanitarian Response and Development Lab at Clark University. Ed also serves as an Adviser on  Adaptation for the Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel, of the Global Environment Facility. Here, Ed shares about his experiences with convening successful, diverse research teams and what he sees for the future during a time of increasingly virtual interactions.

On the first episode of the STARTcast, we’re chatting with Dr. Chandni Singh, a Research Consultant with the Indian Institute for Human Settlements. Chandni shares with us about her experiences and challenges with writing scientific proposals, and we will use her feedback and that of other early and mid-career scientists to set the agenda for the rest of Season 1 of the STARTcast.
