In this episode, Vivian is joined by fellow #STEM trailblazer, top scientist at global science and tech company 3M and subject of the docuseries that premiered during Tribeca film festival ‘Not the Science Type’ Jayshree Seth, Ph.D.

A glance at Jayshree’s CV would provide no evidence of failure - she certainly doesn’t look like the ‘failure type’ - but underlying the glittering CV, sharp analysis and fearless advocacy is a long and sometimes tough personal journey. Where outward success masked inner feelings of self-doubt and failure.

Born in one great scientific nation and rising to prominence in another on the opposite side of the world, Jayshree didn’t follow the path laid out for her when she was young.

Instead, she carved out her own and as with so many successful leaders, it was the unexpected path that took her to the most interesting places. In Jayshree’s case, amongst other things, to being the first woman engineer to be appointed 3M’s most senior scientist and Chief Science Advocate. A position she uses to pay it forward and champion other women in STEM.

Jayshree’s story is a reminder that you often have to lose your way to find your true calling and that ‘rock bottom’ is often a painful but necessary pit stop on your way to the top.
