Season 1 is where it all started. After Angela Nieto's Bertalanffy lecture where she detailed her life and career in science and academia, four master's students in the developmental and stem cell biology major decided they wanted to give their lecturers the platform to do the same. Norin was the one to coin the term 'Life of P.I.', Vincenzo and Iva designed our first poster (in total agreement and harmony), and Rebecca found organizing the logistics to be quite fun (did you know that the first season actually appeared as an official course/lecture in the LSF?). There are several points to highlight from our first season. First, it was amazing that our invited speakers responded with enthusiasm to participate. Each and every one of them made the talk their own, provided different perspectives, and truly showed how variable an academic career can be. Then, the engagement from the students' side came in the form of many questions of which many devolved into outright discussions about, e.g., narrative-driven vs. unbiased research, building dual careers, dealing with imposter syndrome, the current state of publishing, and more. As the season progressed, we added more talks but soon realized we weren't quite ready to end it there...
