A computational biologist joins HR...
may sound like the start of a bad joke. But that’s exactly what I did in 2016. I have a PhD in computational biology. For the first dozen years of my career, I used data science to predict the risk of cancer, diabetes and solved other gnarly biomedical puzzles.
And then, I pivoted into HR. Why? Because I’d realized that science doesn’t happen in a vacuum; the people who do the science can make or break the chances of success. Now I work on a new kind of gnarly puzzle: what matters for people to thrive at work? How do you ensure people can engage effectively in teams and solve business challenges?
