Podcast Description
Hey pals, my name is Ahmed Ibrahim, I’m a research professor in Los Angeles. I am endlessly curious and inspired by the career trajectories of people in science. How did their lived experience shape their current perspectives and future career choices. What do they value? What wisdom do they have to share? Each week I sit down with graduate students, postdocs, faculty, industry folks, and others to create a mosaic of stories that make scientists who they are. If you’re interested in sharing your story, reach out to me at [email protected].

We discuss her early life in India, her early ambitions in medicine, her detour into home economics, moving to the US, wrangling with years of hard work as a student and mother and achieving academic success in the field of family science and sibling caretaker psychology.
