You would think that starting your 1st fellowship straight out of your PhD with a PI who has just left for a sabbatical could be quite challenging and frustrating. It turns out that for Ralph this perceived challenge became a massive learning opportunity.
He learned to build a team without the classical hierarchy observed in most labs. This influential experience shaped his perception of what it means to work well in teams, and how he has now structured his own research group in a way that promotes the research leadership transition of others.
