You can take the boy out of science but you cannot take the scientist out of the boy - the mutually beneficial relationship between research and other sectors

1. The skills and experiences gained through research and academia and their value when transferred to other sectors, and
2. The lessons learned from other sectors and how these are relevant to research and academia
