She is passionate about science, innovation, entrepreneurship and global health.” To me a career path is not a line, it really is a zigzag, and often enough a random looking or even 'lucky' turn to a new job was determined by a meeting, a follow-up email, a networking event which seemed unimportant at the time but ultimately make up the many small necessary steps for shaping your own 'luck'. - Dr Susanna Bächle, Outreach Scientist at Addgene For complete show notes, including links to items mentioned in this episode
