Hey #newPI, your golden window for making a mark on the academic world has opened. If you can build momentum now, you’re setting the foundation to create a significant impact with your research. I recently read an article that mentioned how, as you move through your career, the focus tends to shift. Later on, you’re likely to spend more time disseminating knowledge rather than producing groundbreaking research. But right now, as you start your lab? This is your time to: - Explore bold, risky ideas that could lead to major breakthroughs - Secure competitive funding to support ambitious projects - Publish high-impact research that builds your reputation The momentum you build now will shape the rest of your career. Without it, you risk losing precious time that could be spent driving innovation and establishing your position in the field. The more traction you gain early on, the more opportunities will open up later. This is why, in the #NewPI Success Essentials Workshop tomorrow at 11am ET, we focus on building that traction and momentum now. You’ll learn how to: - Channel your energy into high-impact research - Get your lab up and running efficiently - Attract the perfect fits for your team - Avoid common mistakes that PIs make that cost them a lot of money. If you’re a new PI in the sciences, we’d love to invite you to attend as our guest. DM us with your name, department, and university, and we’ll send you a coupon code for free access.

The Business of GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT I’m happy to share that I am now a Member of the Advisory Council with Harvard Business Review. “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King Jr. Years ago, while interning at Dataville Research LLC as an International Development Intern, one of my key projects was writing a paper on "Global South Sustainable Funding: Grant-based or Credits." The paper explored whether grants or loans were better for sustainable development in emerging economies. This experience helped shape my deep interest in business strategies, especially the role of strategy, management, and leadership in global development. New Hat: Becoming a Harvard Business Review Advisory Council Member Recently, I received an email from Alex Clemente that truly made my day. In his words, "As a member of the research community, you will provide insight to shape the content we develop and enrich our understanding of your perspective on ideas from HBR and the wider world of management and leadership." This opportunity allows me to contribute to shaping valuable content for HBR, reflecting on modern management and leadership from both a global and personal perspective. I am deeply grateful to Alex Clemente and the whole staff of Harvard Business Review for this opportunity to serve. Please kindly follow Harvard Business Review for more info. #HBRAdvisoryCouncil #Leadership #BusinessDevelopment #GlobalInitiatives #Milestones

Thank you Amy Edmondson for highlighting the importance of cross-boundary collaboration.🌟 I've seen firsthand how psychological safety fosters iterative learning & drives sustainable solutions. We've long championed this, guiding our clients to adopt this approach to tackle complex problems & achieve common goals across teams, departments, and companies. 🤝 The complexity of urban challenges or even companies necessitate diverse expertise from various disciplines & sectors. Your emphasis on a collaborative and iterative process, supported by mutual learning & patience, is indeed key to unlocking successful outcomes. 🔑 This resonates with the concept of “Boundary Spanning,” which I learned from the lovely Pia-Maria Thorén (she/her).💖 As she eloquently puts it from a leadership perspective, “Boundary Spanning leadership is the ability to foster alignment, engagement & a common direction across companies, societal, geographical & functional boundaries to reach a higher goal or vision.” 🚀 Effective leadership, shared vision, collective intelligence, a safe space for learning, and patience turn big challenges into chances for innovation and growth across cities, teams and companies. 🌱 💃

This morning, I read that the University of Zurich made a surprising move by deciding not to take part in ranking websites. The administration said they were worried that these rankings cared more about how much work was done, rather than how good it was, which led to doing lots of research just to look good. I think this decision reminds me of our professional world. We often deal with similar things like lists of "30 Under 30" or being called the "most influential figure" or "Top voice." These things can hide real talent and skill or even true leaders. The University of Zurich's choice reminds us to focus on how good our work is, not on getting approval from others. This makes us want to do even better work, and be more honest about it. As people, we can think about what we want to accomplish. We should start to see that true success isn't about being on a list or having a high rank, but about doing good work and sticking to our values. I might not be completely right, but I think the university's choice is a good example of staying true to what you believe in, even when things get tough. It shows that real success comes from doing great work and being honest, no matter what. https://lnkd.in/eBnjrdJ4 #professionalism #founders #business #opinion #universityranking #zurich

such a worthy area of study...

❓ What can I do to make the IDG Summit transformative❓ For family reasons, I can only travel late to the Inner Development Goals Summit and stay for a short period. This made me think long and hard about ‘whether it is worth it’ to go. Time is (extra) valuable, and I hate making the decision to fly. My gut feeling quickly told me that there are plenty of good reasons to go. Particularly when I will be very intentional about making the most out of it. In my pre-reflections, I came to three, sometimes contradicting, principles I will TRY to implement the next two days (🎶 I’m only human after all 🎶 ) 1) FOCUSED ACCELERATION: I am convinced there is a specific niche in the global movement around inner development where I/we with Rflect can make a real contribution. This is to make it the new normal for universities to equip all of their students with a lifelong habit of inner development. I’m super excited that post-summit we will be co-creating the University Coalition for Student Inner Development (https://lnkd.in/ePdnmqYi) together with the IDG Foundation and 4-7 co-founding institutions (more on that later). By focusing on finding and connecting with those people who can be allies in this endeavor, I can conribute most to the mission of the IDGs. 2) LEARN: Never before have I been in a place with so much knowledge about inner development. I want to go in with an open mind at all times, be present in every conversation and intentionally learn. 3) EMBRACE SERENDIPITY: There is already so much “I know I don’t know”, but there’s even more “I don’t know that I don’t know” 🙈. By diving into the experience and connecting to people present, I am sure things will emerge that I couldn’t plan. Let’s see post-Summit whether these were the right principles and whether I could live up to them 😄 . And please connect me to people who are here and I should meet.

When I joined the Faculty of #Philosophy at Università degli Studi Roma Tre in 2007, my Professor said: "Philosophy will not provide you with all the answers, but it will teach you to ask the right questions". I loved that quote, it was illuminating and has accompanied me throughout my studies and my career. Interestingly enough, nowadays that quote is more relevant than ever, in an age when #AI and #IT #engineering have the ability to be syntactically accurate, but not functionally (not always, at least). Asking the right questions, master reasoning and driving from logic is key to obtain the answers we are looking for. Being able to ask the right #prompts makes a huge difference and it requires the ability to critically analyze reality. This article sheds the light on a new perspective: Why Engineers Should Study Philosophy (hbr.org) May this be a new way for philosophy, #science and @technology to collaborate? I certainly hope so!
