Science for social good: Value creation as a scipreneur

Sometimes, I feel like I’m living life as a Marvel character: scientist in the light, social entrepreneur in the shadows, struggling at both. But I cannot complain! During the day, I get to work with the brightest minds in the world; at night, I get to unite with the most passionate young change-makers to shape that world to be a fairer, healthier, and happier place.
