ABSTRACT: Dr. Streets will discuss his somewhat unconventional career trajectory through different fields and different continents to arrive back at UC Berkeley as an Assistant Professor in the Bioengineering department. He will focus on both successes and failures that have colored his career and lessons that he hopes are useful to students and postdocs interested in a career in academia, or in bioengineering broadly. He hopes this will be an interactive discussion so please come with questions.
