Your Worthy Career: A Science-Backed Method to Build a Meaningful Career in Pharma & Biotech

By Melissa Lawrence

Career strategist and author Melissa Lawrence presents a science-backed method for building a meaningful career within matrixed scientific organizations.

Grounded in behavioral science and industry research, Your Worthy Career moves beyond generic career advice to address how advancement actually works in science-driven environments. The book provides a structured framework for making intentional career moves, increasing visibility in cross-functional teams, and identifying growth opportunities that don’t follow traditional career ladders.

In Your Worthy Career, readers will learn how to:

  • assess roles and opportunities based on fit, influence, and long-term direction
  • build strategic visibility with stakeholders in matrixed organizations
  • navigate cross-functional decision-making and competing priorities
  • recognize and pursue non-linear career paths within scientific organizations

While written with pharma and biotech professionals in mind, the framework is applicable to careers across science, engineering, healthcare, and other research-driven fields.
