Are you after a “cure” or a career? This is a question each researcher could ask herself before choosing a topic of research. Or when deciding not to pursue that topic to make time and resources available for another one. Even though the “cure” is that main reason the public continues to provide large sums of money to researchers, it remains much harder to quantify contributions to a cure than the journal impact factor. Dr. Wim Otto looks differently at the “cure” or career dichotomy. He does so by putting meaning above science, elevating the discussion level so high that talking about the “academic career” will sound naive.  In the fifth episode of the ''Voice of UYA'' podcast, Sanli Faez focuses on the research of dr.Wim Otte. Additionally, Faez wrote a blog on the conversation.
