Today we speak with Dr Meg Edwards about all thing’s academia, surviving and thriving as a biology student and translating your studies into meaningful employment. After completing her PhD in wildlife science a couple of years back, Meg now works as an academic and lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland and creates her own academia-inspired art which she collates and shares on her Instagram page: @alittlebitmeg.

You can follow Meg on Instagram @alittlebitmeg or read her research papers for free on Research Gate. And if you love Meg’s designs, you can buy merch on her Red Bubble shop.
