As our goals change during our lives, it could be also very possible that our career aspirations also change.  For those of us in Biomedical Science or Healthcare, the emotional drain of "sunk costs thinking" can prevent us from doing the things we want.  In this BioCredible Journey, I interview Dr. Christina Arnold, a highly accomplished academic physician who turned to a career in coaching.  She has significant insight, possesses loads of wisdom, and you can find her on her podcast "Happy in Medicine."  https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/happy-in-medicine-with-dr-christina-arnold/id1679431160Biocredible.ai is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please tell your colleagues about this podcast as that is how podcasts grow.  For feedback, send me a note at [email protected].  In order to continue generating videos we need your support.  You can support us by any of the following ways:Visit https://biocredibly.com/collections  and purchase science-inspired art.  All proceeds from the e-Store go to support the media company.  The designs have been minted as NFTs on the Cardano blockchain and have been priced to provide 1 hour of podcast recording time.  Please visit https://www.jpg.store/collection/whiteneuronsonblackbackground?tab=items.  Also, consider supporting me on Parteon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482

Working in science exposes you to people from very different backgrounds. Although many of us enjoy this attribute of the profession, cultural expectations from mentor and mentee may differ.  Today I will perform a deep dive in an incredible manuscript authored by Obara, et al., that investigated the influence of national culture o mentoring relationships in Japan.  I provide perspectives from my own career, and discuss some of the excerpts of their participants.  If you would like to read the paper yourself, the is the Pubmed ID: PMID: 34034712; PMCID: PMC8152319Biocredible.ai is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please tell your colleagues about this podcast as that is how podcasts grow.  For feedback, send me a note at [email protected].  In order to continue generating videos we need your support.  You can support us by any of the following ways:Visit https://biocredibly.com/collections  and purchase science-inspired art.  All proceeds from the e-Store go to support the media company.  The designs have been minted as NFTs on the Cardano blockchain and have been priced to provide 1 hour of podcast recording time.  Please visit https://www.jpg.store/collection/whiteneuronsonblackbackground?tab=items.  Also, consider supporting me on Parteon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482

Biomedical professionals experience rejection constantly, and it always causes us significant pain.  The pain bleeds into other problems in our lives. How can we keep these pains at bay. Today I will discuss some concepts that I've learned from reading the work of Mark Leary, Ph.D., share some insights into my own recent experiences, and provide some potential strategies to coping with this.Biocredible.ai is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please send us notes to [email protected], and consider sponsoring us on Patreon.  https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482 

As healthcare and/or life sciences specialists, we struggle with  job negotiations.  Because we have such a protracted training period, we end up not actually negotiating  for jobs until very late in our careers.  Today I will discuss some myths about job negotiations, and I will provide some tools for negotiating your job.  Biocredible.ai is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please send us notes to [email protected], and consider sponsoring us on Patreon.  https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482 

Most of us care deeply about our work, and we worry about policies that are removing potentially highly talented trainees from engaging in our profession.  Dealing with this problem can be extremely daunting.    In today's BioCredible journey, we interview  Alan Wu, Ph.D., an expert toxicologist, educator, and basic scientist.  He shares with us his career arc and how he is dealing with the lack of inspiration for trainees to enter this field.  By bridging laboratory medicine with creative storytelling, Dr. Wu has developed a prolific bibliography of creative works and television pilots.  Feel free to contact Dr. Wu with any additional questions at [email protected] is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please send us notes to [email protected], and consider sponsoring us on Patreon.  https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482 

In this BioCredible Journey interview, we meet Dr. Catherine Czeisler, an Ph.D. Neuroscientist trained at Northwestern University and University of California, San Francisco.  She entered biomedical science from a unique background, but felt constrained by the limitations of academic life.  She is a mother to four children and one dog, and has transitioned to being an entrepreneur.  She has started a new production company focused on bringing circus magic through the podcast medium.  Biocredible.ai is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please send us notes to [email protected], and consider sponsoring us on Patreon.  https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482 

Peer review is a constant source of frustration amongst biomedical and clinical researchers.  It also causes a significant quantity of unnecessary stress to junior trainees who often feel that the values of the peer review process conflict with their own values.  Dr. Glaucomflecken has a hilarious video on this (https://youtu.be/ukAkG6c_N4M).  In this podcast I review why we have a peer review system, what niche the journals have filled, and what compensation (or lack of) is given to peer reviewers.  I suggest a few strategies to dealing with the stress of peer review.Biocredible.ai is here to serve you and help guide you through this difficult career to bring a better work/life balance.  Please send us notes to [email protected], and consider sponsoring us on Patreon.  https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83507482
