We've talked about the potential of AI. But what is the reality behind current implementation tools? What are different institutions seeing and prioritizing? And how do research administrators carry this new technology while retaining the human element of our work that truly sets this profession apart?

In today's episode, we're joined by a diverse group of individuals with a broad range of experience spearheading the development of AI Tools: From Emory University: Lisa Wilson, MBA, PMP, CRA, Assistance Vice President of Research Administration; from the University of Idaho: Sarah Martonick, Director of Sponsored Programs, & Barrie Robinson, Director, Institute for Interdisciplinary Data Sciences; and Tomer du Sautoy, CEO and Co-Founder of Atom Grants. Join us in examining how technology can strengthen collaboration across roles and institutions without replacing the people who power them. 

In a field navigating generational turnover, evolving expectations, and constant change, how can research administration teams work better… together? Kristin Scroggin, owner, speaker, and generational expert at genWHY Communications, discusses the generational dynamics in today’s workforce.

Drawing on research into how different generations communicate, work, and respond to change, we explore why tension shows up in teams—and what leaders and individuals can do to build clearer expectations, stronger onboarding, and more cohesive, collaborative offices.
