In our last episode for Season 4, we explore the balancing act between "leaning in" and "letting go." Are they allies or adversaries? We dissect the importance of whether visibility and recognition should guide what we lean into and let go of, and confront attachment issues that may hinder our progress. Plus, we weigh the viability of walking out of your job, as a Forbes article suggests. Join us and our special guest, Manali Yavatkar, for this discussion on navigating career and life choices. Manali Yavatkar is the founder & CEO of Palm Bin which is committed to delivering a solution to reduce the 93 billion pounds of food waste that are sent to landfills from our homes each year, where it produces 20 billion pounds of methane. Armed with a passion for sustainability and a technical background, Manali has set her sights on solving the unpleasant side effects of home composting. Manali is a graduate of Columbia University with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, but has been a green advocate since youth when she was inspired by the film “An Inconvenient Truth.” Prior to inventing the Palm Bin, Manali served in data scientist and machine learning engineering roles at a Bay Area healthcare startup. She switched her focus, however, when she began to upcycle food waste during the pandemic. Manali bought a countertop bin, but when that began to smell within a day, attracted fruit flies, and required constant cleaning, Manali realized there had to be a better way. Through her research, she found many people keep food scraps in the refrigerator. The lightbulb went off and the end result is Palm Bin, a smart mini-fridge for compost collection.  Support WISEcast with some monthly listener support or make a one-time donation  → Paypal WISEcast is featured as one of the top podcasts from the 60 Best Women in STEM Podcasts by Feedspot!  Checkout The Wisest Children on YouTube and see how our young scientist protégés are making science accessible and fun through some STEM activities for kids!
