We are excited to announce the official launch of The Business of “Doing” Science, our podcast and blog series!

During our academic and professional experiences in science, we realized that many of us are confused about our career paths and that many questions regarding this go unanswered. That’s where this podcast comes in—we want to answer and explore these questions. Our goal for you, our listeners, is to recognize what you can do with your degrees and skills—the answers may surprise you!  


On our first episode, we take a deep dive into #AlaineKeebaugh, PhD’s exciting #careertransition from a postdoctoral researcher to a therapy consultant, while learning more about #deepbrainstimulation and #Parkinson’sDisease.
