What happens when a scientist refuses to choose just one path?
In this episode, I sit down with Christos Efthymiou, biochemist, former PhD researcher at UCL, startup founder, and now scientific writer and strategist, for a conversation that's as wide-ranging as his career. From studying rare blood disorders and building clinical databases used by doctors worldwide, to pitching venture capitalists and landing $150,000 in funding, to finding his footing as a freelance scientific writer and LinkedIn voice; Christos has done what most people only think about.
But this episode isn't just about the highlights. It's about the messy, honest, in-between moments: the PhD overwhelm, the supervisor who wasn't thrilled about his internship, the VC pitches that fell flat before one finally didn't, and the ongoing feeling of still figuring it all out.
If you've ever wondered whether there's a path beyond "professor or industry scientist" , this episode will open your eyes.
