scilence s2: 88 Microfluidics & ITS OK TO MESS UP

Published: March 24, 2020, 7:46 p.m.

My guest this week is self-isolating, like the rest of us, but is really using the time to reset.  Usually, she resets during her commute to work.  But, whatever the situation may be, she does need that time to take stock of what she is doing and get organised.  During  quarantine, she wants to learn to code!  Why not!?!?

She feels that failing and messing up are essential for learning.  She has had to teach herself to set realistic expectations for herself.  In fact, she feels that you should lean into the the things that scare you.  

After an academic career in microfluidics, she has now started her own technology start-up, which has brought about some brand new challenges.  My guest seems to take everything in her stride, which is remarkably calming.  She's definitely one to listen to, if you're panicking about your future!
