BioChat, by ABclonal Episode #6: Supporting Science From Outside the Lab

The continued interest in many things science and science fiction is evident in many of the stories and movies that we enjoy, but for the vast majority of us, the laboratory is not a career path or lifestyle that is practical. Joining BioChat is Emma Bartle, a business development representative for ABclonal's custom reagent services, as we discuss alternative careers that can still help accelerate research science.

 

Emma and Kin talk about the joys of being involved in laboratory research, the benefits of great mentorship and the relationships that were formed, as well as our thought process behind staying in science without a pipette in our hands. Emma also discusses how her role allows her to work with innovators from many bioscience fields in both academic and industrial research as they work together to develop critical reagents to facilitate potential breakthroughs.

BioChat, by ABclonal Episode #5: Advocating for Diversity and Inclusion in the Research Community

While many efforts and programs have improved the opportunities for ethnic minorities to earn advanced degrees and contribute to scientific research, the representation of these groups continues to lag behind those of their Caucasian colleagues. Joining BioChat for this episode is Brooke Sylvester, PhD, a cancer biologist with insights on the continued need to promote inclusion and accessibility to research opportunities.

Topics in this episode include the perspectives of persons of color in navigating the education and research training landscape, the need for advocacy and allies in maintaining momentum and building relationships that can support perseverance, and our hopes for the future with new scientific innovations from a diverse community. We also have a blog post on the ABclonal site that encourages everyone to open their doors to eager and capable candidates from all walks of life.
