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.

We discuss the ideal student; one who is eager to learn rather than to know.

This is part 1 of a 2-part conversation with Dr. Rachel Slaymaker and Dr. Berlin Fang. Rachel and Berlin were both faculty while they did their doctoral degrees. In this episode, we discussed the challenges of isolation and the kinds of community that help sustain students in doc programs.

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!

Tami Shetron joins us for more discussions around the question "What do you wish you knew when you started your doc?" We had a great discussion on learning as a creative act and the power of random in the journey.
