8. Jude Phillip - Assistant Professor, Research Enthusiast

12/08/20 • 67 min

Dr. Jude M. Phillip is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and is a Core Member in the Institute for Nanobiotechnology (INBT) at Johns Hopkins University. His lab (The Phillip tiME Lab) studies biological ageing dynamics in the context of health and disease. He combines fundamental engineering approaches with translational ageing and oncology research to develop strategies and technologies to probe ageing, identify mechanisms to modify ageing trajectories and drive healthy ageing.

In this episode, Jude and I talk about the journey to starting a career in academia, the power and importance of networking, and about wanting to give back to our country.

We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!

7. Shennel Telesford - Mathematics Graduate, Aspiring Actuarial Scientist

Shennel Telesford is currently a teaching assistant in the area of algebra at the National University of the South (Universidad Nacional del Sur) in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, where she also attained her Bachelors degree in Research Mathematics. Her love for mathematics started off as an incentive from her mom in primary school and grew more and more, making it an effortless subject for her during secondary school, before she finally realized a couple years later that it was a passion. During her studies, she was exposed to many areas of mathematics (yes, math isn't just numbers). A great part of this exposure was as a result of the annual math congress by the Argentina Mathematical Union (UMA) . Shennel has attended 6 congresses in total and they served as an excellent tool for a future glimpse into many mathematical areas of study. Algebra and statistics have always been her preference. Currently, she is pursuing a formation in the area of economics as a stepping stone into Actuarial Science.

On this Pathway, we talk about realizing passions and making continuous academic decisions to chart a career. We also talk about learning a new language and the benefits of integrating into a new culture in tandem with pursuit of a formal education.

We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!

Show Notes:

UMA - Unión Matemática Argentina is where Shennel has found a community of mathematicians in Argentina Turns out there is also an international union to promote cooperation in Mathematics.
If you're interested, take a look at the upcoming International Congress of Mathematicians, slated to take place in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2022.
Shennel was able to access further education for free in Argentina! As a starting point, check out a list of countries that offer free education to international students here.
