New York is about more than highways and traffic. The city is filled with resilience, community, sustainability, and more elements that support a healthy built environment. How will architecture impact the future of New York's communities Welcome to the third season of Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. My guests for this podcast are pioneers and visionaries shaping the future of the built environment across various disciplines. Join me in exploring their remarkable journeys, discovering how they reach their current heights, and envisioning what lies ahead in the next 5, 10, and 20 years. Join me today as I have a conversation with my friend Tom Scarangello, Thornton Tomasetti's managing principal and senior advisor and an industry thought leader in innovation and technology. With over four decades at the forefront of innovation in structural engineering, Tom brings a wealth of experience and a visionary perspective on the industry's evolution. We dive deep into Tom's journey with Thornton Tomasetti, from its humble beginnings to becoming a global leader in proactive innovation, with Tom reflecting on pivotal moments such as the firm's response to the 2008 economic downturn and the strategic merger with Wide Langer in 2015. This discussion provides a behind-the-scenes look at how Thornton Tomasetti leveraged intellectual property and embraced technology to redefine industry standards! Tom also shares his thoughts on the shift from reactive to proactive innovation, the impact of building information modeling, and the exciting developments in AI. We explore how AI is accelerating design processes and reshaping the future of structural engineering, and Tom highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between technological advancements and foundational engineering principles, ensuring that innovation enhances rather than overshadows core expertise.

When Science Speaks
Developing Leaders in Science, Engineering, and Technology, with Dr. Crystal Morrison - Ep #45

When Science Speaks

Effective leadership is the driving force behind education, business, and also the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. It is a skill which is hard to describe or pin down, yet you know it when you see it. Why is leadership so important, especially in the fields of science and engineering? And what can people do to develop their skills if they want to become better leaders? Dr. Crystal Morrison is a scientist, leader, and speaker who believes that stronger leadership skills need to be developed for professionals in the science, engineering, and tech fields. Through her professional experience, her companies, and public speaking, she has made it her personal mission - and her business - to help build strong leaders in these important fields.  Tech and science have traditionally had a difficult time developing people in management positions. After being tired of a lack of leadership development in the fields of STEM, Crystal launched EverRise, LLC, which endeavors to take on this important task. She has also brought her message to the stage with her highly effective TEDx talk. Dr. Crystal Morrison concurrently earned her PhD and MS in Macromolecular Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and her Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry at the University of Missouri-Rola, with a minor in Business Communications. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [0:59] Mark introduces Dr. Crystal Morrison [2:38] Why Crystal and EverRise decided to focus on leadership [3:56] Do scientists struggle with leadership roles more than other professions? [4:56] The High-Performance Leadership Platform [6:50] The shift in mindset that is needed to be a leader [8:10] What listeners can do in their daily lives to be better leaders [10:10] The best types of training for leaders [12:40] The Peer Group Coaching which Crystal is developing [14:40] The ability to interface with people is the biggest factor to success in any career  Connect with Crystal Morrison, Ph.D. EverRise, LLC Dr. Crystal Morrison TEDx Talk Leadership can be more difficult in an analytical field For those who have chosen professions and education in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields, having an analytical mind is a large asset to have. Highly quantitative subjects like math and science have distinct problems and (hopefully) solutions. Having that analytical mind is helpful for crafting quantitative solutions, but it isn’t always ideal for the more nuanced needs of a leadership role. So what can professionals do to improve leadership skills?  That is what Crystal has made her passion, and why she started EverRise, LLC. So, what are some tips which Crystal has for those who wish to develop more management skills? As she mentions in her interview this week, Dr. Morrision suggests a high level of communication is necessary to project authority. This might require a shift in mentality.  Being a leader means interfacing with your peers Leadership does not happen in a vacuum. It is the result of people coming together and “interfacing”, as Dr. Morrisson called it in this week’s episode. It is through that interaction that people learn the skills necessary to guide their peers in mutual endeavors. Learning to communicate a vision, and helping people see and buy into that vision is what makes a leader.  That is best accomplished through positive interaction. Most people don’t respond well when they are treated poorly or feel unappreciated. Providing a positive influence will help you build a connection with the people around you in the short term, as well as a reputation that will help you create that same connection with new people in the long term.  Learn more about Dr. Crystal Morrison and her work building tomorrow’s leaders by tuning in to the full conversation with Mark, on this week’s episode of When Science Speaks.
