Episode 12: Prof Stuart Maudsley

Head of the Receptor Biology Lab

Today we have Professor Stuart Maudsley on the show! Stuart is Head of the Receptor Biology Lab, Odysseus Professor of Receptor Pharmacology and Vice-Chair of the Department of Biomedical Research at the University of Antwerp. He is here to talk about leadership in academia, and where he thinks it should be going.

He’s sharing advice on choosing the right workplace so you can thrive. If you enjoy leadership without hierarchy then this episode is for you.

Here’s what we talk about. 

1. What a Nobel laureate taught him about leadership
2. To value setting high goals
3. Why “resourcefulness” is the new skill to teach students
4. The importance of doing something different every 5 years for your developmental process.
5. Why hierarchy cancels out voices

We also get into why he believes it is time to change the way we measure academic output with some ideas on what we should value instead.
