From English Major to Life Sciences Leader — How?!

Can you work in the life sciences with a BA in English?

In this episode of When in STEM, I sit down with Rosie from Life Science Cares Boston to talk about her nontraditional path into the life sciences. From studying English to working at the intersection of biotech, nonprofit leadership, and social impact, Rosie’s journey challenges what we think a “STEM career” should look like.

We talk about how she broke into the industry, what Life Science Cares actually does, and why your background might be more valuable than you think. If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong in STEM, this episode is for you.
