Dine & Discuss
with Praveen Sethupathy Biomedical Sciences and Director of the Center for Vertebrate Genomics at Cornell University
Join us for a shared meal around the table as we host Praveen Sethupathy around a communal table for a shared meal and conversation.
Do you wonder about your sense of “calling” and purpose amidst the high pressure of advancing your education and career? Join us as Praveen Sethupathy shares some reflections from his experience at the pinnacle of an advanced research career as well as from experiencing bracing failures that made him rethink his overall spiritual purpose. Our discussion will be primarily driven by student questions and reflections after a brief opening interview with Praveen.
