Jeremy Busby is associate laboratory director for Isotope Science and Engineering at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Before he was named associate lab director, he held other roles throughout ORNL, and is a former ORISE participant as well. In this conversation, Busby and host Michael Holtz discuss the various roles Busby has held, how he honed his interest in science, and how valuable mentorship, both being mentored and mentoring others, is to the scientific enterprise as a whole.
