The Curious Life of a Scientist

Dr. K is a passionate Lecturer at UCI, committed to educating the undergraduate students.  We had a great conversation about his journey to where he is now, starting in India with a triple major as an undergraduate, a hardcore Masters Program, moving to the US for his PhD, driving across the country and doing his post-doc in San Diego.  He is a great resource for advice and has had many interesting experiences that he shares in this episode of The Curious Life of a Scientist.

Sigal is an undergraduate student working hard in the Pedersen Lab with me.  She has taken an interesting path from college to a hospital internship to getting involved with a Minority Program that sent her to London!  I am excited to see what she does next.

Mary is a post-doc in a nearby lab studying angiogenesis.  She has been a great teacher and inspiration for me, which is especially kind because we are in different labs.  It was great to hear about her journey to UCI as well as how she went about starting a family, as that is something many of my fellow grad students are thinking about.

Dr. Golub taught my Stem Cell Ethics & Policy Class last quarter, and I learned a lot, so I was very happy and a little nervous to talk to him about his journey to where he is now.  We talk about his East Coast roots, his post-doc in Sweden, and how he weaved together his interests (science, ethics and policy) to carve his own path doing what he enjoyed.

Kathy is a 4th year graduate student in a parasite lab down the hall.  She talks about her REAL undergraduate college, finding her way to graduate school, and her plans to go into teaching all while she defends herself from my cat, Frankie.  If you have any questions or comments, please email me at [email protected] and I'd be happy to respond.  Curious Life of a Scientist, Episode 2

In the first episode of Curious Life of a Scientist, I talk to a fellow graduate student, Heather about her days as a tagger and her admiration for her boss.
