Inspiring and Informative Podcast Will Showcase the Transformative Power of Care and Community Service in the Life Sciences Industry
Life Science Cares today launched Moving Forward, Giving Back, a podcast about the importance of corporate philanthropy as an engineer of social change within the life science industry. Moving Forward, Giving Back is hosted by Life Science Cares’ leadership and will include in-depth conversations with luminaries across the life sciences and nonprofit ecosystem, sharing their experience and knowledge in their shared mission to create a culture of care. 
“The goal of Moving Forward, Giving Back is to better understand how life science companies and their employees are giving back to their local communities, while enriching lives along the way,” said LSC President Sarah MacDonald. “Caring and collaboration are central to the mission of the Life Science Cares membership, and we see Moving Forward, Giving Back as an initiative that will both improve and expand the conversation in the life sciences industry around how we can do more to support our local communities with the resources and counsel they need to facilitate real change around key issues like equality, diversity, education and many more.”
Moving Forward, Giving Back is brought to you by Life Science Cares, an organization committed to leveraging the deep resources and power of the life science industry to address important social issues in the communities where they operate. Moving Forward, Giving Back will explore a wide range of compelling topics, from developing strategies around Corporate Social Responsibility, to seamlessly integrating philanthropy into a company, to building lasting community partnerships and cultivating a diverse workforce.
Moving Forward, Giving Back: Episode 1 – A Year of Impact
Earlier this year, Life Science Cares Boston presented its first ever Impact Award to individuals and companies who best exemplify the mission and goals of LSC. In the inaugural episode of Moving Forward, Giving Back, host and Life Science Cares President Sarah MacDonald chats with some of the 2023 award winners including Halloran Consulting, Third Rock Ventures and several other industry leaders about the creative and impactful ways they have deployed the LSC model to harness and maximize the industry’s resources to support community-based efforts in Greater Boston and beyond. To close the first episode of Moving Forward, Giving Back, Dr. Yvonne Spicer, the Executive Director of LSC Boston, who joined the organization earlier this year, talks with Sarah about how she plans to leverage her extensive background in education, community advocacy and government to activate the financial and human capital of the life sciences industry to disrupt the cycle of poverty and inequality in the Boston area.
