#16 — You may know Spencer Shorte as Chief Scientific Officer to Institut Pasteur Korea, but as we’ll learn in today’s episode, he is also the creator of the Imagopol and the founder of the core facility software company Stratocore. We’ll learn more about the globetrotting that led Spencer to Korea, the challenges that he has faced in his career, and his favorite publication.

We’ll also get to know Spencer on a more personal level, as we discuss 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.

We’ll also discuss how Spencer sees 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.
