In our very first episode, we introduce the podcast, share a bit about our PhD backgrounds in neuroscience and immunology, and explain why we decided to start The Graduate Decline.

We talk about what it’s actually like starting (and surviving) a doctorate, the conferences, the chaos, the learning curves, and the parts of academia that don’t always make it into publications.

This episode is an informal introduction to who we are, what we research, and what you can expect from future episodes!
