37. Science, Teaching, and Innovation from the Perspective of a College Dean with Dr. Kathryn Uhrich

How does one person lead a career that involves serving hundreds of faculty as dean of schools in two universities, creating over 70 U.S. and international patents, and publishing 140 peer-reviewed papers? What is it like to work at the intersection of academia and corporate business? Dr. Kathryn Uhrich, Dean of the College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences at the University of California Riverside, discusses the chemistry that initially inspired her to invent polymers for various industries (including drug delivery and personal care), what mentorship has meant throughout her career, and what it's like to be the dean of a college.
