From academia to policy with David Carr
Staying in touch with science was the one thing David Carr wanted when he left academia in 1998. After spending a year working in a scientific consultancy organisation whilst also writing up his masters, Carr joined the Wellcome Trust. Since joining he has become more and more involved in science policy. In this interview I ask Carr why science policy is important, why he enjoys it and what advice he has to offer to those who wish to work in this field.
