New Episode of the PORTfolio Podcast: Scientific Pathways with Dr. Sega

In the latest episode of PORTfolio: Stories, Science, and Success, we speak with Dr. Paweł Sega from the Population Diagnostics Center about science that transcends disciplinary boundaries and about the evolving role of the scientist as a leader, communicator, and innovator.

In conversation with Dr. Raluca Contu, Dr. Sega reflects on his unconventional career path – from plant genetics and molecular biology, through SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics, to managing a modern laboratory. He also discusses the challenges of the pandemic, the importance of science communication, and the future of researchers in the era of artificial intelligence and team-based science.

PORTfolio is a series of conversations with scientists who share their stories, discoveries, and experiences from the world of research. The podcast was created to show that science is not only about laboratories and publications – but also about passion, choices, and everyday challenges.
