#S7:E75 — In this episode, Peter O'Toole hosts an entertaining panel discussion with former members of his lab group who have gone on to pursue non-academic science careers. His guests are:

• Lotta Katriina Räty, Senior Marketing Manager at Miltenyi Biotec.
• Rakesh Suman, Innovation Development Officer at the University of Leeds.
• Richard Kasprowicz, Investigator and GSK Associate Fellow at GlaxoSmithKline Pharma GmbH.

The panel shares their motivations for choosing their respective career paths and highlights of their respective jobs.

Richard explains how working in pharmaceuticals can bring you closer to the translational impact of research and lets you see positive outcomes for patients.

Rakesh describes some of the weird and wacky ideas that can come out of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, such as creating an entire artificial egg!

And Lotta dispels some of the stereotypes and myths that exist about scientists without PhDs and shows you can have a successful and influential science career without one.
