The questions I get most often from PhD students are about what’s is like working in biotech. So, here are some of my observations on the industry that I wish I’d known in grad school (Note that everyone’s experience is different, so YMMV). #biotech#career (1/)
Today, at sōlaria biō, we are introducing bōndia, a safe and effective non-pharmaceutical option for managing bone loss in women most at risk.

Another excellent paper from the Baumler lab, demonstrating that E. coli and Salmonella occupy distinct biogeographical niches in the intestine.
I love seeing this sort of mechanistic work in the field! #microbiome

@rafaellashima It's true that in a biotech role, you'll generally have less freedom to pursue topics unless they are related to the company/team's mission and objectives. I'd focus on finding roles that align with your interests, so your questions can be geared toward that.
I was recently invited to join a panel on careers in the biotech industry, and I noticed common themes to the questions from students / postdocs who are considering next steps. I think it would be useful to share my perspective on some of those questions more broadly. A 🧵...
There’s probably a lot you don’t know about the industry yet (there’s still a ton I don’t know either) -- that’s ok! Your experiences and your story are valuable, even if they don’t line up exactly with what you see on job descriptions.
Question: “What advice would you give a fresh graduate considering a move to biotech?” Be kind to yourself. Be authentic, ask questions, and be proud of everything you’ve accomplished to get where you are.
