In this episode, Alex Paquette, doctoral candidate in Bioengineering and Graduate Students Association VP Academic, talks about the challenges of conducting research during COVID without a lab environment, as well as the issues that many graduate students are facing during this time. He shares with us his thoughts on how this situation has brought about many opportunities to think about things differently and inspire graduate students to help others who may be struggling. He chats about the initiatives of GSA to support graduate students and offers assistance to any graduate student who is looking to connect. He hopes that we can take what we have learned from this time and the new, inventive ways of teaching to make learning better for all.
