When we're young, we don't understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it's a blessing to have that support at home.

What a treat to be interviewed by Dr. @oliverbogler.bsky.social of the @night-science-inst.bsky.social to discuss our NYC Postdoc Chapter!
I chat a bit about my career and research, and give some tips and tricks for starting your own Night Science chapter!

Itβs a lonely job, leading a research group (professor, principal investigator, group leader β whatever you call it). You talk all day with everyone, but youβre mostly alone with the doubts and risks of the biggest decisions.
Does it have to be though??

What is a discovery? Why are discoveries so difficult to make? How does Night Science & Day Science capture the process of discovery? What are a few Night Science tools? Can we change the culture of science?
