An incredible lady and an empathic leader, a visionary, a researcher, and a scientist — she graces the show to talk about the joy of discovery, the gift of connecting with gifted individuals, and the inspiring capacity of a woman moving forward in the world of science.

Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Women in Science and Research

with Dr. Jen Bizon.

Key points covered in this episode: 

✔️ The transformative power of online learning. Online education is booming, not just the formal online class but the whole scientific enterprise, whether it's the meetings, talks, cohorts, and anything about new findings. Dr. Bizon shares that since everything can be done effectively in an online format, we're breaking down distance barriers in a way that will help with accessibility or increasing diversity in science. 

✔️ It's becoming more and more expected that we show up in our entirety at the workplace. After decades of emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in the workplace, more and more organizations are learning to embrace their employees to become their most authentic selves. 

✔️ Many women thrive in science, research, and technology as they are given more support in balancing having children and careers. Organizations that value and treat their people with respect bring out the best in them and encourage authenticity and innovation. 

✔️ As a leader, bring out the best ideas from your people with the knowledge that not everybody can speak their minds outright. 🧠✨

Dr. Bizon reminds us to always ask. Make sure that there are multiple ways you take those diverse views, especially from the gifted and the introverted, and help them have a voice.
