Behavioral Technical Presentation

For my NUS SHE program interview as a biology grad, the main thing was my motivation for shifting to sustainable finance. They wanted to know how my science past could connect ecological data with money choices, how I'd pitch a conservation plan to investors, and how to gauge biodiversity's financial returns. We also talked about using the SHE program to get a job linking science and green investing.
