This episode features Dr. Federico "Ico" San Martini. Ico is a Senior Programme Management Officer at the Multilateral Fund  for the Implementation for the Montreal Protocol. Ico got a PhD in chemical engineering from MIT, and afterwards he worked with Nobel Prize winning Professor Mario Molina on air pollution issues in Mexico City. Ico entered the science policy world through a Mirzayan Science Policy Fellowship at the National Academy of Sciences, followed by a AAAS Science & Technology Fellowship at the State Department. Staying on at the State Department in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Ico worked on a wide range of issues from water resources to short-lived climate forcers. He also helped establish an air quality monitoring network at US diplomatic facilities that shares data openly with the public. 
In this conversation, Ico takes us down his career path, and he describes his motivations for the choices he made along the way. It's a valuable conversation for anyone thinking through frameworks on how they want to make their own career decisions align most closely with their own specific sense of mission.
