About this listen
In Episode 12, Jasmine Ramirez speaks with Dr. Erin Bonar from the University of Michigan and Dr. Alina Palimaru from the RAND Corporation. They discuss how being first generation college students impacted their career trajectories and the challenges they faced as they navigated college and their educational training. Erin shares how she struggled with feeling out of place, and Alina, being born in Romania, describes how she had to work hard to learn English to pursue education in the United States. While they have experienced challenges, they both feel that their greatest professional accomplishment is the impact their research has had in helping others. Erin and Alina give advice to future prevention scientists, including the importance of mastering the basics of time management, having the right attitude and initiative, finding good mentors and sponsors, and staying true to one's value systems.
