Can't decide between chemistry and psychology? This interviewee shows that you can do research on both! On this week's episode of the ChemTalk podcast, hosts Nafeesa Mahmood and Scott Gietler interview Dr. Jen Heemstra, Professor of Chemistry at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. The Heemstra Group studies nucleic acids and their applications, specifically how they may differ from their traditional roles (such as acting as antibodies). Dr. Heemstra speaks of her research group, how she got to where she is in academia, coping with failure in the STEM world, and much more. Since speaking with her, Dr. Heemstra has moved her lab to Washing University in St. Louis. We hope you enjoy! If you would like to know more about Dr. Heemstra you can check out her website or Twitter or reach her by email at heemstra@wustl.edu.
