Hello, Friends!

Thank you so much for dropping in to the first episode of Biosplaining!

Our first guest is Sara Holland. 

Sara hails from Nottingham, UK, and represents fantastic biotech, synthetic biology, and pharmaceutical companies as a Patent Attorney at the international law firm Potter Clarkson.

I'm thrilled to have Sara join me on the podcast to help demystify an crucial component of R&D: IP Law.

This was a great discussion that touched on her career journey, her grievances with academia, and also very helpful explanations about IP concepts that I feel all scientists should pay attention to.

You'll learn:

-What IP is

-About patents and Operability Space

-What Tech Transfer offices at Universities do

-How novelty is evaluated in terms of IP

-Plus some genuinely helpful advice from someone who's left academia and not only survived, but thrived!

If you'd like to keep in touch, please do!
