This session explores the intersection of academic careers, parenthood, and education, highlighting how personal patient stories can enrich scientific research. Using real-life experiences, it demonstrates the value of integrating patient perspectives into translational medicine. Patients offer unique insights, act as powerful advocates, and can support research through fundraising and outreach. The talk encourages students to embrace perspective shifts, listen deeply to patients, and reflect on their own career paths beyond the academic rat race. It’s a call to connect science with humanity for more meaningful and impactful research.
Open Science is changing academia. But what is Open Science? And how will it affect you and your research? In this session we will explore with you what it means to embrace open science as part of translational research. We will invite you, as early career scientists, to contribute to Open Science and show you how you can do this. Science is changing; will you be an agent of change? Learning objectives: At the end of this session, students will be able to:
Explain what Open Science is,
Articulate the values of Open Science as a way of making science more inclusive and impactfull for society,
Discuss how Open Science can be applied in daily practice of translational reseachers
