Garret Glinka wears two hats: one as a businessman with a Master’s in Business, and the other as a scientist with his Master’s in Biotechnology and Genomics, complemented by a Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences. His background allows him to bridge the administrative and scientific worlds. Over the past six years, he’s honed his expertise as a laboratory professional in both corporate and academic settings, helping operate and launch five laboratories domestically/internationally. He’s been a technician, team leader, supervisor, and lab manager.
As a member of the queer community, he brings kindness, authenticity, vulnerability, and positive influence to his leadership style. Now at Columbia University’s Neuroscience Institute, he manages two labs, lead the Gender and Inclusion Mentoring Program, and coordinate the Lab Liaison Group, ensuring communication across the institute’s departments and other lab managers.
When he’s not dissecting Drosophila in New York City, or out to eat with Jersey City friends, he retreats to his family’s farm in central New Jersey. There you’ll find him tending to their goats and chickens, inspecting the crops, or racing dirt bikes with his three-year-old nephew, Jay. His life is a dynamic blend of science, leadership, community, and family, each enriching the other in unexpected ways.

She has always been passionate about sharing science outside of the lab. This has manifested in being the group leader the science writing group NeuWrite, a team member of Stories of WiN, and founder of Scientist on the Subway. Additionally, she has collaborated with a variety other groups, such as BioBus, Facts Machine Podcast, and the Dance Theatre of Harlem, to engage the public with science.
