STEM fields are essential for driving innovation and offer exciting projects and career opportunities. In honor of STEM Day, we asked Actalent engineers Bhairavi Pandya and Janani Neelakantan, who recently received Technology Rising Star awards at the Women of Color STEM Conference, to share their advice for those starting their STEM careers. They provided valuable insights they wish they had known early on, offering guidance for the next generation of STEM professionals.   🧠 “Give your all to every task, but constantly advocate for more challenging work. Each assignment deserves your best effort, but it's just as important to recognize when it's time to move on and shift paths. If you realize a role isn't a good fit for your skills or goals, have the courage to seek new challenges. Growth often requires pivoting towards roles that better align with your strengths and ambitions.” -Bhairavi Pandya, Lead Engineer   💡 “Pursuing a STEM career offers valuable lessons, where every experiment—successful or not—provides insights for others on similar paths. Avoid measuring self-worth solely by results; instead, celebrate the knowledge and expertise you accumulate. Sharing experiences, both successes and failures, empowers others, drives innovation and fosters collective progress. Embracing failure as valuable data and sharing insights inspires thousands and contributes to meaningful change.” – Janani Neelakantan, Senior Technical Manager   #stemday #careeradvice #engineering #science #weareactalent

Had an amazing time at the Outsourcing in Clinical Trials conference in Boston last week with Cameryn Orlowski and Landon Warren! After 7+ years of attending, it's always a pleasure to reconnect with current and former customers. Our industry is constantly evolving, and it's crucial to discuss these changes with industry leaders and learn from them. I attended several breakout sessions focused on Clinical Operations & Outsourcing. A key topic was the Functional Service Provider (FSP) model, which is here to stay. While not every company or study is suited for a FSP set up, it's essential to explore your options and find what works best for your team. Considerations include specific expertise, control, cost, consistency, flexibility and access to qualified resources. There are many reasons to transition to an FSP model, and making the right decision is vital. If you're considering this move or exploring alternative options for 2025, let's continue the conversation! #FSP #ActalentServices #Biometrics #ClinicalOperations #AuditingServices #MonitoringOversight
