In our first episode of season 3, we discuss how we moved all our teaching online amidst the pandemic. We talk about how to adjust lesson plans and assignments to student groups that are at different stages in their undergrad, and how students how experienced campus life before the first lockdown differ to the new generation that only knows online teaching. We also share our favourite apps and practices to make online teaching easier for ourselves, and for our students.

In the Season 2 series finale we address the second year slump. As this is a period often only discussed in hindsight, we talk about the importance of communicating with supervisors, peers, friends, and family during the this time. We reflect on what to expect, ways to overcome it, and how to avoid a third year slump!  Share your own second year slump experiences and tips for how to deal with it on our social media and, as always, thanks for listening!

In this episode, we discuss how we go about making the most of conference wine receptions, and how to (literally) juggle networking, wine drinking, and nibbling at hors d'oeuvres at the end of a long conference day. Conference wine receptions can be a minefield of social anxieties, so we would love to hear your tips for a successful wine reception. Share them with us on our social media, or send us an email.
