It’s okay to feel stupid, but don’t you dare stay that way
Episode 10
Tuesday, 22 March, 2022
We are not betting individuals, but if we were, we bet that you have never met an intelligent, humble, creative, and curious individual with the voice of a Madam and whose slogan is “it’s okay to feel stupid, but don’t you dare stay that way.” To conclude Season 2 of Titus Talks, we are delighted to share our conversation with researcher, blogger, podcaster, and author, Kendra Royston. Kendra completed her undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at Stillman College and later received her Ph.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a dissertation focus in cancer epigenetics. She went on to continue her post-doc education at the University of Chicago before joining a major pharmaceutical company in their department of Global Scientific Communications. Recently she has assumed higher responsibilities within Clinical Development managing oncology clinical trials as an Associate Director. Kendra is also the founder of Stupid Science Inc., a nonprofit organization that aims to increase diverse representation in STEM fields and careers. In this episode, we talk about her path to finding meaningful bench to bedside translational research in industry, the ethos behind her 501(c)(3) Stupid Science Inc., the beauty of trial and error, and finding peace with imposter syndrome to focus on being on the cutting edge of discovery. Her advice for our listeners? You do not truly ever fail until you stop trying, every setback as a setup for triumph and boldness does not make you angry. (P.S. If any university is looking for its next president, we recommend giving Kendra a call. That is certainly the world we want to live in.)
