Listen to this interview of Natalie Aviles), Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Virginia. We talk about how organizations shape people, and how people shape science.
Natalie Aviles : "I think, in general, the more self-conscious that scientists can be about what motivates them, about what makes them happy, about what drives them — the more, then, they can try to imagine a future that satisfies not only their intellectual curiosity but helps them navigate, too, the very sort of prosaic conditions that they find themselves in on a day-to-day basis."
