Here are the links to Emilie's answers. The song she constantly listens to at the moment is 'Over the Rainbow' by Melody Gardot. The music that particularly resonated with her at a specific time in her life is from Radiohead. Her all-time favourite book that she absolutely recommends is L’usage du Monde by Nicolas Bouvier (English-language version with the title The Way of the World).If you want to follow Emilie on social media, this is her channel: LinkedIn. In case you wish to have more information on the organisations mentioned in our conversation.Companies mentioned in this episode: Doctors Without Borders The Global Antibiotics Research & Development Partnership GARDP The Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative DNDi where Emilie worked before joining the Medicines for Malaria Venture MMV Entasis Therapeutics The World Health Organisation WHO where Emilie served as vice-chair for the ethics research committeeThe Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics FINDAccess to COVID-19 Tools ACT AcceleratorFounding podcast of the SwissCast Network
