July 30, 2021 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!
