Homelessness past shapes one scientist's research approach
Original: I used to be homeless. That experience shapes my science
A scientist describes how a period of homelessness earlier in life continues to influence their approach to research, in a first-person article published by Science. The piece reflects on how lived experience of hardship informs empathy, choice of research questions and ways of working, and readers are discussing how personal background shapes scientific careers.
Why now: The personal story of overcoming homelessness to do science is resonating with readers who relate lived experience to research careers.
