A huge thank you again from all of us to Stanford University and UC Berkeley for hosting our Science Leadership Program. Speakers across diverse fields shared their highs, lows, successes, and frustrations, providing insights and expertise that will stay with our 2023 Fellows

Our Science Leadership Program in Northern California ended on a special note with the esteemed UC Berkeley faculty Randy Scheckman and Kathy Yelick sharing their experience and career journey, and the need for courage, focus, and interdisciplinary science. Thank you.

Global ambition for social good is an integral component of our program and of our Science Leadership Program this week. We are grateful to Stuart Russell, Jodi Halpern, Jack Gallent for a challenging and engaging workshop on science and ethics. Thank You.

We are grateful to Ashok Gadgil CEE Berkeley Laura Stachel We Care Solar, Rachel Sklar, PhD 👩🏻‍🔬 @pitvidura for sharing powerful stories of social enterprise, user-centered and co-created design, and the challenge of sustainable scale-up. Thank you to Phillip Day Big Ideas Contest for hosting.

“Openness is key to new ideas,” Prof Daniel Fletcher welcomed us to UC Berkeley today where we continue our Science Leadership Program. Looking forward to two days of learning with a focus on social entrepreneurship, user-centered design, ethics, and empowerment.

Privileged to have such an incredible panel share their collective expertise in creating + maintaining interdisciplinary teams. Steve Chu Risa Wechsler and Zhenan Bao reflected on their experience and key success components. Thank you for supporting our Science Leadership Program

Creating teams, seeking advice, fostering networks, and “wearing a ton of different hats”.  A huge thank you to Danielle J. Mai Ellen Yeh and Laura Dassama, all @stanford, for their generosity and insightful reflection on launching a lab, at our Science Leadership Program panel.

Clear and intentional communication is vital for effective science leaders. Thank you to the amazing JD Schramm for joining our Science Leadership Program this evening to coach our Fellows on the art of the pitch and pursuing mastery. So much energy in the room!

'Inspirational' is used a lot, by us and others. But today’s talks by Stephen Luby and Manu Prakash  as part of our Science Leadership Program exceed the definition. Thank you. Search up their work and be inspired: lubylab.stanford.edu + web.stanford.edu/group/prakash-…
