The Squiggly Line with Katelyn Jetelina
About this episode
Dr. Katelyn Jetelina discusses navigating a nonlinear career in science and public health, focusing on the challenges of science communication and the need for better public impact.
How do you navigate a nonlinear, “squiggly line” career in science and public health? Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, an epidemiologist and scientific communicator, explores challenges of science communication within academia—from cultural resistance to misaligned incentives—and why so much vital research never reaches the public. Joined by Dr. John Schwartzberg, Professor Emeritus, School of Public Health, they discuss the growing opportunities for scientists both within and beyond academia, and what needs to change to better support public impact across all career paths.
