  • Episode 35: Two Ends of Imposter Syndrome

    We are joined by Shandon Klein and Abbie Salcedo; Shandon is starting her doc, and Abbie is finishing. We discuss finding our voice, imposter syndrome, the challenges of an out-of-field doctorate, and having goals for what we get out the doc. This episode runs long, but it's worth it.

  • Episode 31: Why, Why, Why???

    We were joined by Dr. Tonya Vetter to discuss the “why” of earning a doctorate. This was supposed to be a longer conversation, but the first part was corrupted, so we were left with only part of the conversation with Dr. Vettor. Here’s hoping we can get her back again!
