Episode 12: Season 1 Finale

As our second year (for Angelica, Brittni, and Aaron) and first year (for Tiffany) comes to an end, we discuss where we are now on our PhD journey. For the upcoming third years, we are officially done with classes and grades for life (IS THIS REAL LIFE?) while the upcoming second years have another year to look forward to. As our third year approaches, we must gather our committee and prepare to pass our qualifying exams to advance to candidacy. We discuss how we chose our committees and how we are preparing for our candidacy exams. Since summers are also for relaxation, reorganization, and recuperation, we also discuss our summer plans and any vacations we are planning (if our PIs will let us leave). Thank you for spending season one with us! Tune in late fall for season two where we will host guest speakers to discuss their career paths after graduate school.

Crew: Aaron Deal, Tiffany Newman, Angelica Riojas, and Brittni Foster
