Saturday Morning Lab
Hey pals, my name is Ahmed Ibrahim, I’m a research professor in Los Angeles. I am endlessly curious and inspired by the career trajectories of people in science. How did their lived experience shape their current perspectives and future career choices. What do they value? What wisdom do they have to share? Each week I sit down with graduate students, postdocs, faculty, industry folks, and others to create a mosaic of stories that make scientists who they are. If you’re interested in sharing your story, reach out to me at SaturdayMorningLab@outlook.com.

This week, I chat with Dr. Elvira Forte, Senior Science Writer at the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center. Elvira grew up on the outskirts of Rome and the only one in her family to pursue science. Elvira is genuine, thoughtful, curious, dedicated, and very passionate about research. That curiosity has led her to interesting and diverse career paths in science. She urges everyone to stay curious and keep their eyes open for opportunities that so often slip our notice. What a joy it was to chat with her.

In our discussion, she shares her early experience growing up a carefree kid in a small farm town in Southeast Wisconsin to her success as an Associate Professor and ultimately, her decision to leave academia for the Federal Government.
