Embark on an intimate expedition with us, as we sit down with the remarkable Sean Kaufman, whose career trajectory in lab safety is as unconventional as it is inspirational. From the front lines of HIV psychosocial work to the high-stakes anthrax responses post-9/11, Sean's narrative captures a rare blend of psychology and infectious disease expertise. His transition to pivotal roles at the CDC, and the mentorship that propelled him to lead a mock BSL3/BSL4 laboratory program at Emory University, underscores a career punctuated by unexpected pathways and a focus on the human elements of lab safety.
Join your Lab Safety Gurus, Dan Scungio and Sean Kaufman, as we not only traverse Sean's professional milestones but also touch upon the deeply personal side of our lives—the fleeting moments with our children and the indelible impact of family. As we share our own experiences, we invite you to reflect on the importance of a nurturing lab safety culture and join us in our ongoing commitment to creating safer laboratory environments. This dialogue is a testament to how personal journeys and professional passions can intertwine, leaving a lasting legacy both within the lab and beyond its walls.
