In the episode of SciChronicles, two storytellers tell us about their winding paths towards becoming researchers.
Our first storyteller, Kelle Dhein, is a historian and philosopher of science who recently became an assistant professor in the School of Complex Adaptive Systems. Kelle shares an origin story that might be unexpected for an academic, and encourages others in the sciences to get real about where they come from.
The second story is from Austin Blackmon, a PhD candidate in the Molecular and Cellular Biology program doing research on an enzyme important to developing cancer treatments. Austin shares why he's always been intent on doing cancer research, but how it took him a long time to get to where he is now.
