This month we enjoyed talking to Arjun Raj about his interdisciplinary approaches to studying biological systems
Arjun shares how he almost became a truck driver and experimented with a career in an (unnamed) rock band
He tells us about his journey from mathematics to quantitative biology and he shares thoughts about comparing biology with physics and what they can learn from each other
He says we all struggle with how to teach creativity and how to evaluate the most promising ideas.
Arjun discusses how to improve mentoring and practical auto-mentoring. He gives specific examples about learning how to peer-review papers.
He recommends a narrative-based approach to science communication so that you can leave the audience with a feeling of wonder
He is inspired by Star Wars storytelling as a science communicator
He says it's important to go through a period of really paying attention to the small details
Arjun argues that scientists have become overburdened and that increasing scope creep creates a lot of pressure
