Krajmalnik-Brown Featured in Ask A Biologist Podcast
In April, Dr. Rosy was featured in the Microbes Living Inside Us podcast.
Podcast Notes: On this program we talk a lot about cells. In particular plant, animal, and microbial cells. But did you know there is a world of microbes that make their home inside and on our bodies? Before you start to worry, you need to know most of these microbes are important for us to live. In fact, without them we would not be here. This tiny world is the focus of Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown’s research. It spans the microbes that live with us and those that are helping us clean up our environment. There is even a discussion about how poop is helping treat some people and that is something you don’t usually get talk about.
Rittmann’s Helium Podcast Advises Introverts How to Operate in Extrovert Settings and Defeat Imposter Syndrome
Show Notes:
How do you have to step up your ability to be outgoing in certain situations when you are working in academia? You might not expect a person in the National Academies for Engineering and Science to say that self-doubt still resonates at times. But Professor Bruce Rittmann can still get in touch with that feeling and identifies himself as shy. Dr. Rittmann shared his processes for practicing the outgoing role when he identifies as an introverted person. We also discussed his approach to funding, including some creative approaches he has taken to “kissing the frog.” It was a privilege to have Dr. Rittmann on the show and we can all benefit from his seasoned approach to 45+ years in academia. https://teamhelium.co/
