The Scientist Spotlight Initiative highlights the diverse journeys, research paths, and personal stories of practicing scientists. By sharing these narratives, the initiative helps humanize science, broaden representation, and make scientific careers more visible and accessible to learners at all stages. Through short interviews featured here, BioF:GREAT contributes by showcasing how scientists discovered glycoscience, navigated their careers, and continue to shape our growing field today.
