The Leadership Dialogue Series is an initiative started by the Community and Membership Engagement Subcommittee of the Genetics Society of America Early Career Leadership Program. With this new Leadership Dialogue series our subcommittee strive to highlight the significance of leadership skills in scientists, facilitate discussions around effective, inclusive, and growth-centered work culture, and offer accessible learning opportunities for early career scientists through a series of interviews with recognized academia and industry leaders.
This podcast series on YouTube should serve as self leadership and Team training material for Early career scientist community.

Plant autophagy, the vacuole-based degradation and recycling of cellular components, is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process. Autophagy is divided into two categories: bulk autophagy (the degradation of nonselective cargoes), which is a major response to the external environment, while selective autophagy (mediated by cargo-specific receptors) is required for normal cellular function and regulation. The machinery involved in plant autophagy has been characterized using cell and molecular biology techniques, and many genetic tools have been developed that have helped elucidate the direct influence of autophagy on plant development, nutrient homeostasis, and stress response.

Beyond the more traditional aspects of benchwork, publishing, and acquiring funding, running a successful lab involves developing various skills that are often less discussed in academia. This includes managing lab personnel, budgeting, building an inclusive and collaborative environment, and resolving conflicts—all of which require leadership and management skills.
