In Her Own Element: When Science Meets Self

Guest: Dr. Sreyashree Bose, Scientist in Biotech | PhD Graduate | Immigrant in STEM

What does it really mean to pivot — not once, but again and again?
And what if success, as you imagined it, no longer fits the life you’re building?

In this powerful and intimate episode, we sit down with Sreya, a scientist working in biotech, who reflects on her journey from academia to industry — and the moments in between that don’t make it onto LinkedIn.

We talk about:

  • Choosing industry over academia from day one

  • The mental toll of a PhD and letting go of control

  • Redefining success in the middle of uncertainty

  • Being an immigrant woman in STEM navigating change

  • The quiet, deeply personal process of choosing yourself again

This episode is a reminder that the strongest decisions are often the quietest ones — the ones no one claps for, but that change everything.
