In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Anna Dhody is back for Part 2 of our conversation. What we discuss in Part 2: How the pandemic prompted the Mutter Museum to increase its online presence, leading to a virtual tour that garnered over a million views. A significant event during this time was the donation of a human heart from a living donor, Rob, who wanted to contribute to the museum after receiving a heart transplant. Anna filmed an unboxing video of the heart, which unexpectedly went viral, attracting a wide audience and generating interest in the museum. The success of the heart unboxing led to a series of educational videos about the preservation and display of biological specimens. Anna's videos fostered a community where viewers shared personal stories and experiences related to medical conditions, leading to increased awareness and support. After leaving the museum, Anna founded the Dhody Research Institute to continue her work in science communication and education. The institute aims to increase accessibility to medical and scientific information and inspire young people to explore STEM careers. Anna is developing new video series, including "What's That For?" which invites viewers to guess the purpose of medical objects and learn their stories. The Dhody Research Institute is running a fundraising campaign to support the production of more educational content. Anna emphasized the importance of educating young people to become informed citizens and critical thinkers in today's world.

43:08

My guest today is Forensic Anthropologist Anna Dhody. What we talk about with Anna in part 1: Anna initially studied archaeology, influenced by visits to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia as a child. She developed a passion for archaeology at a young age, around 9 or 10 years old. Chose Boston University for its separate archaeology department, which offered more opportunities than those combined with anthropology departments. After attending an excavation in Belize during her sophomore year, she became interested in biological anthropology, focusing on human bones and their stories. She realized the competitive nature of academia and planned to pursue a master's in forensic science instead of a PhD. Anna wrote a thesis manual titled "The Underground Crime Scene" for law enforcement on how to excavate buried crime scenes, which gained unexpected international circulation. Applied for jobs after graduation and was scouted by the CIA but ultimately accepted a position at Harvard's Peabody Museum due to the need for osteologists for a NAGPRA project. Worked at the Peabody Museum for four years, taking advantage of free classes and gaining valuable experience. Became involved with a United Nations project in Peru to train local medical personnel in forensic anthropology, which turned into a significant teaching role. Returned from Peru and took a temporary position at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. What was initially meant to last five months ended up lasting nearly 20 years. Anna’s career path was shaped by a combination of luck and the challenges faced in the museum world, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities.

Dr Denise Gemmellaro is a forensic entomologist, and my guest today. We discuss how she initially pursued medical school but found it was not for her. She found forensic entomology to be a complete and engaging field that allowed her to work on real cases and teach. Dr. Gemmellaro emphasized the importance of students realizing they can change their career path and explore different avenues. Forensic entomology involves the study of insects and arthropods in medico-legal investigations, providing valuable information on the circumstances of death and post-mortem events. In entomotoxicology, substances found in maggots can indicate what was present in the body prior to death, aiding in toxicology analysis. Dr. Gemmellaro has conducted training for law enforcement in forensic entomology, emphasizing the importance of proper evidence collection and handling. She has also been involved in international projects in Africa and Central America to introduce forensic science and inspire local professionals in the field. Dr. Gemmellaro encourages those interested in forensic entomology to explore entomology programs and resources, as well as consider related fields like law enforcement or lab technician roles.

Dr. Saxena was involved in a study analyzing pathology education in medical schools in the U.S. and other countries, focusing on curriculum content, teaching methods, and instructional time allocation. The study showed differences in pathology education between the U.S. and other countries, with more lecture hours and active learning strategies outside the U.S. We discuss the 2010 Carnegie Foundation report on medical education reform, emphasizing integration of basic sciences with clinical training and active learning strategies. She is currently working on integrating pathology into interprofessional education and writing a manual on AI's impact on medical education. Dr. Saxena is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare education and has received recognition for her contributions in this area.
