As you will hear on today’s podcast episode, “interdisciplinary” is far more than just another buzzword.
We are delighted to welcome, Sarah Amend, PhD, to the Faculty Factory Podcast this week for another enlightening “Habits and Hacks from Hopkins” episode. Today’s interview focuses on how to foster healthy and productive collaborations between diverse-minded experts.
Dr. Amend serves as Assistant Professor of Urology and Assistant Professor of Oncology with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.
“My lab focuses on understanding, and ultimately trying to design strategies to treat lethal prostate cancer,” she told us.
Listening and having an open mind is key when traversing the dynamics of an interdisciplinary team, Dr. Amend explained in this podcast.
“Interdisciplinary science is challenging and incredibly rewarding,” Dr. Amend said. “And to do it, it’s really just three things: be humble, be patient, and be intentional.”
People have so many different gifts and talents. When we bring these different world views together in a healthy, collaborative environment, it can really become a “game changer.”
“Everyone has something to teach us,” she said.
