Spencer Shorte (Institut Pasteur)

In memory of Spencer Shorte.

#16 — Spencer Shorte was the Chief Scientific Officer of Institut Pasteur Korea, the creator of the Imagopol, and the founder of the core facility software company Stratocore. When he spoke to us, we learned about the globetrotting that led Spencer to Korea, the challenges that he has faced in his career, and his favorite publication.

We got to know Spencer on a more personal level as well, discussing his love of James Bond, his penchant for stout, and how he ended up driving the wrong way down one of the longest one-way streets in Paris.

Spencer also opened up about his views on the role of science in society and how it was only when returning to Europe after a stint in the United States that he worked out what he really wanted to do in science.
