Looking forward to welcoming our 2023 Schmidt Science Fellows to @Rhodes_Trust and University of Oxford this weekend for the first Science Leadership Program convening of their fellowship year!

Incredibly privileged to have leader, investor, and best-selling author (and former Rhodes Trust CEO) Charles Conn speak at our Science Leadership Program.He unpacked the skill and value of problem solving and worked through the structured approach that can speed up the process.

Day three of our Science Leadership Program meeting ends on a high! University of Oxford Vice-Chancellor Prof Irene Tracey and Dr. Megan Kenna in conversation with our 2023 fellows, talking career decisions, leadership, communication, and creating interdisciplinary research environments…

Insightful and inspiring day @blavatnikschool as part of our Science Leadership Program.Fellows explored the role of government, dynamics of power, and the vital importance of scientists engaging with policy making.Thanks to Ngaire Woods + all at Blavatnik School of Government

Leadership, problem-solving, punting, community, communication…and making pasta. Our Science Leadership Program meeting in Oxford is drawing to a close. We’re reflecting on a special week of ideas and inspiration with our 2023 Fellows. Thanks to all who supported us.

If anyone (primarily, electrochemists, battery engineers, materials scientists, electrolyte chemists, organic chemists, but also any other related field) wants to do a Postdoc in a fun, new lab with an exciting industry-funded project on Li metal batteries..DM me ASAP #aiche23

🌐🇨🇭🇺🇸 Honored to have been invited to the Reception and Exchange on Cooperation with Switzerland's Innovation Parks. A big thank you to Ambassador Balz Abplanalp for the kind invitation. Excited to explore potential collaborations in Switzerland.

Big congratulations to Prof. Partha P. Mukherjee on his new role as CARES Director! 🎉 Having had the privilege of being under his guidance as a PhD student, I can attest to his superlative mentorship. And let's not forget his knack for coming up with the perfect short names! 🌟

Encouraging all early-career scientists to take a step towards excellence! Apply now (deadline- January 28, 2024) and become a part of this incredible scientific community. Let's collaborate, learn, and innovate together!

Creating teams, seeking advice, fostering networks, and “wearing a ton of different hats”.  A huge thank you to Danielle J. Mai Ellen Yeh and Laura Dassama, all @stanford, for their generosity and insightful reflection on launching a lab, at our Science Leadership Program panel.

Privileged to have such an incredible panel share their collective expertise in creating + maintaining interdisciplinary teams. Steve Chu Risa Wechsler and Zhenan Bao reflected on their experience and key success components. Thank you for supporting our Science Leadership Program

Ashok said, "There is so much pronouncement of intent and so little intentionality", and that's going to stay with me for a while

A huge thank you again from all of us to Stanford University and UC Berkeley for hosting our Science Leadership Program. Speakers across diverse fields shared their highs, lows, successes, and frustrations, providing insights and expertise that will stay with our 2023 Fellows
