Hey pals, my name is Ahmed Ibrahim, I’m a research professor in Los Angeles. I am endlessly curious and inspired by the career trajectories of people in science. How did their lived experience shape their current perspectives and future career choices. What do they value? What wisdom do they have to share? Each week I sit down with graduate students, postdocs, faculty, industry folks, and others to create a mosaic of stories that make scientists who they are.

Season Finale: Michael Eisen says think about how you want science to operate!
In this finale episode of our second season, I sit down with Michael Eisen, Professor of Genetics and Development at UC Berkeley. We talk about how his love of sports inspired a career in science. We also talk about the challenges facing academia and its role in society. Mike is genuine, principled, and does not pull his punches. His informed perspective is helpful in addressing the systemic problems facing science, politics, and their often tense relationship.
