Why interdisciplinary thinkers in STEM will shape the next wave of medtech founders, with Dr Anushi Rajapaksa


🎙️ Creating Your Own Path as a STEMM Professional with Dr. Anushi Rajapaksa

 

"If not me then who" - why you may actually be the one who should take the first step and how to get started.

 

What if your unique combination of STEMM degrees could solve a global health problem?

Are you a STEMM professional ready to pivot your career or start something new?


 In this episode, Dr. Anushi Rajapaksa—biomedical, mechanical and aerospatial engineer and medtech founder—shares how she used her diverse STEM background to create Misti, a groundbreaking respiratory care and lung advanced drug delivery innovation. Learn how interdisciplinary thinking, knowledge brokering, and imperfect action can help you build your own path outside traditional science careers.


🔍 **What You’ll Learn: 

  • How to identify your unique "knowledge brokering" superpower and your purpose
  • learn practical steps to start validating your ideas (even with Nobel Prize winners!),
  • gain the confidence to take imperfect action because "scrappy progress is better than no progress."
  • How to put together a roadmap that can get you started and later on grow

 

Listen now to transform your perspective from "I need more credentials" to "I already have everything I need to start."

 

 📌 **Key Topics:**

In this episode we explore additional themes, including :

  • How to recognise opportunities
  • The financials of getting through the first 6 months
  • How to get your opinion heard and why it matters
  • Why being clear on your message is the foundation of creating opprotunities
  • Why you don’t have to be part of the 5am club everyday

And much more
