This episode is a conversation with Dr. Terri W. Jackson, author of  "The Madness Within: The Journey of a Future Doctor" (as Terri L. Whitley) and her newest release, "Chocolate Covered Nut: The Journey Continues." We talk about her journey navigating STEM education at the undergraduate and graduate levels as a student with bipolar disorder; reconsidering how we define and describe "normal;" and how she has managed, and ultimately overcome, challenges in her career as a pharmacist. This conversation is for anyone who has concerns about their mental health - or that of others - and who is looking for strategies to succeed or to be a strong ally.

In this episode, we take a journey through Seasons 1 and 2, revisiting some of the many amazing moments we had with guests during our first year.   We went back to Episode 6 in Season 1 where we talked with undergraduate mechanical engineering student, Javian Pierson about our responsibility to support, mentor, and champion others. From Season 2, we revisited Episode 13 with Dr. Ann Gulley, where we discussed the need for diverse perspectives in standard setting. And from Episode 12 with BlackInEngineering.org, we delve into Dr. Cullen Buie's statement that failure to be inclusive in design and decision-making is literally life or death. 

We had a real-time phone call with one of the guests to get an update as we recorded this episode. Check it out to find out who it was and where they are now!

Why get an engineering Ph.D.? You'll get some ideas from this episode! It is a continuation of our Season 1, Episode 4 conversation with Dr. Monica F. Cox. This time we dive into her book, Demystifying the Engineering Ph.D., to learn about people's motivations for and experiences in pursuing a Ph.D. in engineering, how this varies depending on work sector (industry versus academia), and how to emerge mentally and physically whole in the wake of challenges encountered in academia.
