In this episode of the fAQ podcast, Tai-Danae Bradley sits down with Janet Faakye, a neuroscientist and project manager at SandboxAQ, to explore the critical intersection of deep tech, project management, and science communication.
Janet’s path is a masterclass in following your curiosity. She discusses her transition from studying psychology in Ghana to earning a PhD in neuroscience in the US. Listeners will get a crash course in her graduate research on vascular aging and how senescent cells behave like infectious "zombies" in the brain. Janet also discusses her experience of making the transition from academia to industry, the art of context-switching when talking to different stakeholders, and the valuable lesson of learning to boldly speak up for your own accomplishments.
Whether she is translating complex concepts for the public, running global tech initiatives, or dreaming of a worldwide food tour, Janet's authentic approach to life and science is truly contagious.
This podcast is hosted by Tai-Danae Bradley and features the stories of amazing people working in science and technology at SandboxAQ and beyond. All curious humans are invited to join!
