UHN’s Office of Research Trainees and the podcast production team are excited to announce the launch of the second season of the Seeds of Science podcast.
Hosted by Dr. Emily Mills and Rima El-Sayed, trainees with Dr. Karen Davis at the Krembil Brain Institute, the Seeds of Science podcast offers a platform to showcase the unique academic journeys, scientific discoveries and personal growth of the trainees at UHN. Follow along as they detail the achievements of these junior researchers, obstacles they have faced and life outside of research.
“UHN trainees and post-docs are the future of health research. So, we created this podcast to enable trainees to share and learn from one another,” says Dr. Mills. “As they continue to grow in their scientific field, trainees truly are the seeds of science.”
Episode one features Dr. Emma Bell, a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Daniel De Carvalho’s lab at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. This episode follows Emma from their beginnings as a wet-lab researcher to discovering their true passion for bioinformatics and coding. Listen to the episode to find out how Emma has turned failures into learning opportunities, learn about important advancements in the field of liquid biopsies, and hear more about their beloved corgi, Sophie.
“Whether you are a trainee, a budding researcher or simply curious about the wonders of science and the scientific journey, Seeds of Science highlights the incredible research and real-life experience of those in academia,” adds Rima. “Tune in to be inspired and connect with others at UHN.”
