ALBA Limited-Series #3 : Beyond the bench - Building inclusive lab cultures

What is the most valuable "invisible skill" of a group leader ? In Episode 3, we tackle the difficult question : how to build a research culture where people don't just survive, but thrive. Science is not a solo trip. It is a group expedition. Yet, most group leaders are never trained to manage humans, resolve conflicts, or foster inclusivity. Renaud and Jonathan sit down with four inspiring scientist Dori Grijseels (Max Planck Institute, Germany), Angeline Dukes (University of Minnesota, USA), Adrian Liston (University of Cambridge, UK), and Denise Fitzgerald (Queen’s University Belfast, UK) to decode the DNA of a healthy lab. This podcast series is a limited-series from The ALBA-IBRO Diversity Podcast, a guide that will help you to adress the difficult issue of transitioning from postdoc to team leader .
