Welcome to Season 2 of The Psychology PhD! As grad students in the Columbia University psychology department, we hope to provide you with some insight into graduate studies in psychology, from applying to programs to learning about day-to-day life as a PhD student. Season 2 features conversations with students in our program that provide a glimpse into their unique backgrounds and experiences prior to pursuing a PhD. In this episode, we meet Anna Vannucci, a third-year PhD student advised by Dr. Nim Tottenham.
