The PAM Talks

2.0.6 How to survive grad school with Dr. Pamela Freeman and Dr. Pooja Woosaree


Listen Later

Dr. Pooja Woosaree and Dr. Pamela Freeman recorded this episode in December 2024, shortly after both of their PhD defences. They recap the highs and the lows, the trials and the joys of graduate school. They chat about their thesis research, the opportunities for international collaboration, their personal journeys through university, and the community they had at the University of Calgary (Pamela: maybe the real research was the friends we made along the way). 

With a bonus topic: why this podcast is named the PAM Talks!

  • Pooja’s PhD:  ‘First Measurement of Antihydrogen Free Fall Using a Radial Time Projection Chamber’, is explored in PAM Talks episode 1.5.1.
  • Pamela’s PhD: ‘Chemical Diversity in High-Mass Star-Forming Regions', will be explored in a future episode; for more radio astronomy, see Dr. Anna Ordog’s PAM Talks episode 1.0.1.

  • Edited and produced by: Dr. Pamela Freeman
  • The PAM Talks gratefully acknowledges support from the University of Calgary Graduate Student Association Quality Money grant program.
