Season 2 Episode 5: Working for a Nonprofit Organization
Friday, 21 June, 2019
The NCCS reports that over 1.5 million nonprofit organizations are registered in the United States today. Most of us are able to name several of these from memory, but did you know that many nonprofit organizations hire scientists?

We were joined by Dr. Heather Alger, Director of Product Development at the American Heart Association, and Dr. Helen Ann Cuffe, a Manager at Deloitte Consulting Company, for an engaging discussion about being a scientist in the nonprofit field. Tune in to hear about their day to day lives, the necessity of science communication, tailoring your CV to your job of choice, and networking effectively.
