*Lab Notes & Life Lessons* is the podcast about the people shaping science. The scientists, founders, professors, and innovators. We go beyond publications to uncover the curiosity, resilience, and unexpected turns that define a life in research. Hosts Divya Srinivasan, a scientist and startup enthusiast, and Mrinalini Sundar, journalist-turned-marketer, talk to guests about: - How they built their careers in science. - Navigating challenges like funding, career pivots, failure. - The growing role of AI in research. This is your front-row seat to authentic stories from beyond the lab.
