Hello Biology!
We hoped your enjoyed the academic event that we organized for this Fall term. There was a great turn-out! Three individuals -- representing academia, industry, and government -- comprised our panel. These were:
- Moira Glerum, Ph.D. Professor at University of Waterloo
- Owen Ward, Ph.D. Founder of several companies involved in bioprocessing and bioremediation
- Mike Cassidy, Ph.D. Coordinator of the Food Safety Science Unit at the Ministry of Agriculture
Our panelists touched on many topics, including their own journey and career choices; they discussed how they try to balance family and work life; they also shared their opinions on finding a passion as well as rewarding social interactions/work environment.
We went a little over time, and there were still many questions that the audience had; in the future, we will likely lengthen the time allotted for this panel discussion! We'd like to thank you for coming out to the event, and to our three panelists who generously gave their time for the session. If you have any suggestions for future events of this kind (a panel for discussing career options), feel free to leave us a comment!
