18 May 2019
Have you ever wondered why instrument representatives are so skilled at discussing science? The truth is that most of them have attended graduate school, and many have PhDs! What's life like for this unique form of traveling doctor? We met with Dr. Charlie Pemble, the East Coast Account Manager of Rigaku, to figure it out. After completing his PhD in Biochemistry at Wake Forest, Dr. Pemble remained unsure about whether to pursue industry or academia as he entered his Postdoctoral position at Duke University. Listen in to hear him discuss his career path, balancing a travel-oriented job with family life, and incorporating bench science into a sales position. 5tolifepod.com @5tolife On episode Angelica Riojas Brittni Foster Charlie Pemble
