Graduates Anonymous

A return to form for hosts Naomi & T. They check in about the years past and see whether those feelings of imposter syndrome ever did go away...

A crudely done episode. Let's kick of this reboot in a gritty and sexy way. Quirky dances successfully mastered. Colored pencils organized by length and obsessively straightened for no absolute reason

If you're a long time listener to the show you know how we do. You write us and we ask you to come on and do an episode. This week the first person to ever reach out to us about the show talks with us about applying to grad school, finding funding, and making the decision about where to go. We also answer a question about school supplies, and talk a little about what we give as our "elevator pitch" when you have to introduce yourself in an academic setting.

Work, Leisure, Writing, Reading, and possibly sleep... remind me what sleep is again?

This week's suggestion is to try connecting with others about books. It's a great place to start a conversation!

Intro: Regina Spektor - Hero

Special Guest: Dana.

This week on Graduates Anonymous we bring Alex to the show to discuss some interesting pop culture literature, reflect on choosing his Master's and how that helped him pivot into a new field of academic study, and remind us to take a moment to step back and have some perspective about where we are and what we've done. You're in for a treat.

This week on Graduates Anonymous we talk a little about the environmental hazards associated with working on a computer and living a life where sitting is so central.

This week we we send our love and support to those affected by the violence enacted upon protesters in Charlottesville, VA before delving into such interesting topics as the decision to abbreviate one's name, special listener shoutout, a mystery article that we don't have access to, and talk at length to our special guest Maggie about the decision to get a dog and how it has already begun to change her perspective on graduate school.

Special Guest: Maggie.

[Note: Thank you to listeners of the show. This weeks episode is brought to you a few days late due to some technical errors. Fortunately, Naomi's back-up recording means we have a show this week! I apologize for any audio hiccups this week! - Joker]

This week on Graduates Anonymous we ask whether it's ever too late to learn a language, whether leopard print is in fact a neutral, how your elevator pitch sounds after a year of grad school, and dive into another meandering discussion about the big bad wolf known as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). We also ask you the listener what you think of your 12th favorite podcast becoming bi-weekly.

Intro: Sam Smith - I'm Not the Only One

Naomi and Terrence take a week off of the normally scheduled programming to bring you a summer camp episode. Specifically, we talk about the experience of going to a stats camp to do a terms worth of study in just a week. We're joined by guest Megan who answers some of our questions about the how, the why, and the what of her summer away from her program.

Outro: The Decemberists - Isn't it a lovely night?

Special Guest: Megan.

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.
