From Scientist to Outreach Director: Cesar Berríos-Otero

Academy Member Cesar Berríos-Otero, PhD, didn't take the most obvious path when choosing his career. As a young man growing up in Puerto Rico, scientist wasn't among the career options that most of his teachers and peers were talking about. But the passions he developed at an early age helped him follow an unexpected journey from the Career Path in the video below.

A key step along Cesar's Career Path was his choice to step outside of the lab. By testing his leadership skills while volunteering and exploring business ideas in our Idea to IPO course, Cesar was able to apply the skills he had in the business world. Hear Cesar talk more about building his business skills beyond grad school in the video below.
