Four reporters from nature have been following allie and dan as they try to get their land off the ground. This is starting up in science. There were four of us working on this story. And here on the podcars, we're telling it in four parts. So you'll hear from a different reporter in each episode. It's also the second time that allie has applied for this big chunk of cash. Her small start up grants are running out. She needs this.
Every year, thousands of scientists struggle to launch their own labs. For three years, a reporting team from Nature documented the lives of married couple Alison Twelvetrees and Daniel Bose as they worked to get their fledgling research groups off the ground.
Frustrations over funding, a global pandemic, and a personal trauma have made this journey anything but simple for Ali and Dan. Listen to their story in Starting up in science.
Episode 1
What does it take to start up in science? Meet two biologists fighting the odds to build their careers and break new ground. But their first priority is getting grants – without them, their labs might not stay afloat.
