All of this feedback leads somewhere, to a better understanding of your own work and how you communicate it to others. And if you haven’t figured it out by now, Brunie doesn’t take this topic lightly.

ADAM GREENFIELD

Welcome to The Great Communicators Podcast presented by The MIT Office of Graduate Education, a professional development podcast expressly designed to bring lessons from the field to our graduate student researchers.
My name is Adam Greenfield and there’s an old proverb that says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” No, this episode isn’t about child rearing. At least not in a literal sense. But it is about the process of creating effective communication through the use of community and peer review.
As you’re about to find out, it goes beyond just the reasoning for effective communication. Going through that process enriches not just you as a scientist and researcher but also the entire field you’re in.
Our guest in this episode, through her own trials and tribulations, has come to find that a support group of peers for evaluation and critique, no matter how honest things get, can really be a boost to personal and professional success.

That’s the goal.

And that’s Brunie Felding, an associate professor at Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California and the type of work she does will hopefully one day change the face of medicine and science.
