Episode 18: Teaching (Assistants)


Listen Later

Given that this week is a solo discussion we decide to go down the rabbit hole a bit into something that both of us are interested in doing better. Teaching. We answer a Q&A about being a teaching assistant, finally answer the question of the difference between adjunct, assistant, and associate professor, discuss baller scholarship about PhD tenure placement statistics in several fields, and pass along some advice about how to tackle teaching in graduate school.
