Abstract: In the last few decades, team science has become increasingly common and the need for interdisciplinary researchers has likewise increased. There is a stronger need than ever for individuals who can speak across disciplines, serving as a hub (and sometimes a translator) to unite researchers in different fields. Researchers with diverse methods (from those using animal models and bench-side science to biobehavioral observations and clinical approaches) all have a strong need for understanding each other’s work and to express it clearly to others. The ability to function and communicate at multiple intersections is needed to optimize the interpretation and understanding of scientific findings, along with their translation to clinical practice, implementation to intervention, and dissemination to the public. Performing research at these complex intersections of fields and roles is both challenging and rewarding. The pros and cons of a research career situated at these intersections will be discussed.
