Podcast: Cosmology PhD ➞ Data Science
Physicists in the Wild podcast throwback series
Before Academics in the Wild (the community), there was Physicists in the Wild (the podcast). As part of our throwback series, we’ll be dropping a podcast episode from our archives into your inbox every Thursday.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Juan Ignacio Cayuso, a former cosmology PhD student from the Perimeter Institute, now thriving as a data scientist in e-commerce. Juan shares his insights on communication, the pressures of quick decision-making, and how he navigated the transition. He offers valuable advice on networking, identifying your skills, and finding mentors. Tune in to hear his journey from academia to the corporate world and how he rediscovered hope while building a fulfilling career beyond traditional academic paths.
You can also listen to this episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
Feel free to drop a comment if you’ve got any thoughts or questions. See you next Thursday with another PITW throwback episode!
