On today’s show, returning champion Dr. Catharine Young, former Senior Director of Science Policy at the Biden Cancer Initiative, and current Executive Director at the SHEPHERD foundation. A human of many hats, she’s also a TED Fellow, Presidential Leadership Scholar, and Doctor of Philosophy with one of the most awesomely sardonic Twitter feeds around @CatYoung. Catharine was one of my very first guests on the program, SO if you want to hop in your Delorean and check out Episode 5 from March 26th. This time around, we talk COVID-ish stuff, pivoting your nonprofits in a crisis, helping scientists learn to speak “person,” the egregious misgivings of confirmation bias during a pandemic, and how the science of ophthalmology must change perfect vision to 2019 or 2021 because 2020 is dead to us and there forever shall no longer be hindsight as we know it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cancer Moonshots: Dr. Catharine Young on the Biden Cancer Initiative and Beyond

Wait, getting your PhD is not enough?! From scientist to science policy -- Liz Wayne talks to Dr. Catharine Young about alt-ac from the STEM side, developing skills from a postdoc in biomedical sciences to her current position as the Science and Innovation Policy Adviser for the British Embassy. Our different experiences in academia open us to new possibilities and equally legitimate ways to love the subject we study. Turns out that having a PhD is not enough for a job in 2016, even after all we've accomplished! Through the American Association for the Advancement of Science fellowship, Dr. Young traveled internationally to work on addressing Ebola and other biological threats for the US and other countries. How do we put our work into broader context for the betterment of society? Grad students need to be exposed to more opportunities beyond academia during their degree. From science benchwork to science communication, Liz and Dr. Young chat about taking science out of the ivory tower.You can get in touch with Catharine Young through LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catharine-young-25959148
