This My Story/My Advice post features Frida Polli, PhD,
who owns a neuroscience-based technology company. The My Story/My Advice
project, brought to you by The Women in STEM
Summit, highlights women in STEM that are persisting in STEM fields and
making a difference. It also gives their personal advice to the next generation
of young women looking for encouragement to persist in STEM.
Frida’s Story:
My path to entrepreneurship was long and circuitous. I have
both a PhD and an MBA, both of which have been extremely valuable as I have
worked to build my own neuroscience-based tech company. I find science really
fascinating, which drove my initial decision to go into the world of academia.
I spent six years at Harvard and MIT, doing my neuroscience PhD and post-doc
work, but longed to find a practical application to the research I was doing.
I left the world of academia to pursue my MBA, and it was
during that experience that I saw the career assessment and recruiting process
firsthand for the first time. I was struck by the fact that very little
objective information was being used to make incredibly important career
decisions, and that’s where the idea for pymetrics came about: why not use what
we know about neuroscience to make finding your ideal career easier? We use a
series of fun neuroscience games to recommend compatible careers, and hiring
companies come to the site to recruit candidates that are a good match for
them. It’s like LinkedIn meets OkCupid!
Both my MBA and PhD have been essential to pymetrics, in
large part because of the nature of the company. An MBA helped me build a
strong foundation in business, and has served me well through the mentorship
and network that I received. However, we are a business built on life sciences
technology, and this would be hard to do without the decade that my co-founder
and I both put into learning the technology through a PhD and then a postdoc.
Through pymetrics, I’m able to bring neuroscience into the world of business,
and use it to help folks find fulfillment and success in their careers - what
could be better?
Frida’s Advice:
Be open to life’s opportunities - you never know how things
might come together in the end. Each experience brings its own lessons. And

October 22, 2015 in Boston, MA. The event brings together companies struggling
to fill their STEM job pipelines with female college students pursuing STEM

that align their passion with the needs of corporate America. For more

Like Frida Polli's advise, I was open to life’s opportunities. I worked in several companies. Each company helped me learn new things.

ReplyDeleteIt is very difficult for me to find a good girl in real life, but I still could, though on a dating site, but I really liked it. This is the beautiful side of hot mail order brides, as they are easy to get to know. On the other hand, Portuguese mail order brides are more conservative and pay more attention to their own way of thinking. They can also become territorial, which may not be what you are looking for in a chosen woman. On the site portuguese girls, you can find the perfect bride who will follow you to the ends of the world!
