As the conversation continues, Dr. Duncan talks about her journey to becoming a scientist. Initially, Kelli had her mind fully set on becoming a veterinarian. Then, the universe interceded, and gave her the opportunity to do an independent summer research project with an entomologist at her school . This experience opened her eyes into the world of research and completely turned her world around—veterinary school suddenly became a thing of the past. As Kelli describes it, “One single email brought her into the field.” Among the obstacles for Kelli to overcome along her journey was her own unwillingness to give things a try--at times counting herself out in advance. Overcoming this helped to open her eyes and mind to new opportunities. From professors to her postdoc advisor to colleagues, Kelli was influenced by numerous cheerleaders, mentors, and friends, and she still keeps in touch with her mentors as her career has progressed. These special individuals saw "that thing" in her before she saw it in herself. While Kelli has no regrets on her career journey overall, if there was one thing she could do again, she would consider being more of a risk-taker rather than playing it safe with her choices—there’s no harm in hearing no, and sometimes you might even get a yes. Kelli ends the conversation with her advice for those interested in applying to academic positions and encouragement for how to remain motivated in the face of rejection. Listen to Kelli's amazing Journey!
