Uncovering the Human Side of Research - S0 / E05

Social Safety in Academia - With Prof. Giovanni Bertotti

Today we talk about psychological safety, diversity, and inclusivitiy with professor Giovanni Bertotti, Professor in Applied Geology at the TU Delft and also Diversity and Inclusion officer of his Faculty.

We hear about his role as Diversity and Inclusion officer in the complex environment that is a University. We talk about the difficulties of addressing micro aggressions, about the challenge to measure progress with regard to building a safer culture, about the resistance that you encounter when you want to put difficult topics on the table and his attempts to improve the culture from the bottom up by opening up conversations about behaviour on all levels.

Enjoy.

Over Uncovering the Human Side of Research

In this podcast, we don't talk about study designs or the outcomes of scientific experiments. These conversations are about the Human Side of doing research, the stories about the people behind the scientific output. You will hear scientists, coaches and other experts in science share their personal stories and advice regarding the challenges and the opportunities of academic careers. We hope that this podcast will excite, inspire and help you in your own career.
