Leading a big academic institution | HiLIFE mini-series Ep1 w/ Eleanna, Anastasiia & Jari Koistinaho

The Science Basement Podcast

We all know who they are, they listen to our voices yet we may not even have met them in person, they carry the weight of the community’s concerns while tackling the big problems - this is the regular perception of our directors. One thing is different, they are more accessible than you think. You don’t need to look any further, as in this episode, we are bringing you Jari Koistinaho, a Director of the Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE). Jari tells us about HiLIFE’s initiatives and activities, while also sharing his experience as a director and the essentials of leading a large academic institution. This is the first entry of the 5-part series on HiLIFE, where we engage in conversations with key members of the HiLIFE team, exploring topics from leadership to the translation of scientific work. Tell us what you think of our podcast! forms.gle/jfN2sm2q8ZEUXS7K9 Your hosts this week are Eleanna Asvestari & Anastasiia Marmyleva. Edited by Kerttu Kalander.
