UofTMed Magazine’s winter issue, Standing up for science, includes a feature article on SilicoLabs founders Kyla and Benjamin Alsbury-Nealy. The piece profiles their innovative work turning research into real-world impact through no-code behavioural measurement for clinical care. Their story highlights the multiplicity of career paths for graduate students, and how entrepreneurship can be leveraged to turn research into impact.
“Expectations about pathways after grad school are shifting, says Alsbury-Nealy. She’s just one graduate student who has forged an alternative path in a research-based career outside academia, thanks to better funding, new mentorship models, a culture that embraces entrepreneurship and flexibility — showing others the expanding possibilities of a career in research.”
