Welcome to episode 2 (pt 2) of 'probably platelets', the first-ever podcast hosted by the UK platelet society. Your hosts Beth, a PhD Student from the University of Leeds and Daniel, a PhD student from the University of Reading, have a chat with platelet researchers to find out more about their career journey and laugh about some of their mistakes, and you never know we'll probably talk about platelets.
In this episode, we chat with Dr Jon Gibbins, a professor from the University of Reading. Jon talks to us about his favourite stage of his career, radioactive mistakes and being shy in academia.
We discuss the importance of community, social skills and growing as a person during your academic career.
It was great chatting with Jon about his journey; he offers some excellent advice for those just starting their science journey!
