Former McArdle gradaute student Thomas Lentz (Loeb Lab) was a guest on the podcast “Science Lives,” a show about lesser-known careers that rely on a science education and scientific way of thinking. On this episode, Lentz discusses his career path from being a graduate student at UW Madison to a Scientific Instructional Designer at Promega Corporation.
From the show description:
“Growing up, Thomas had a strong interest the natural world, and, while an undergraduate at Texas A&M, discovered that he really enjoyed molecular biology and virology. He continued following these interests while a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and assumed he would eventually do research as a university professor. However, as he learned more about the academic research path while a postdoctoral fellow, his focus shifted to teaching, which ultimately led to his current position in industry. We’ll talk about how his career journey unfolded and of course find out about what his job is like.”
