Science for impact sits at the heart of everything I do. JFT Academy began as a personal space—my way of bringing together passion, professionalism, and purpose—and has evolved into a connected ecosystem where learning, judgement, and real-world application reinforce one another.
This site empowers scientists, researchers, and professionals with the tools to enhance science communication, mentor the next generation, and bridge the gap between research and policy to drive real-world change.
