It is our HONOR to bring to our audiences the first episode of Season II of TBG3.  In this opening episode, we chat with creative Vero d. Orozco, an artist with a BFA from  the San Francisco Art Institute and a Masters from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as 10+ years of working in the non-profit sector. In this discussion, we dive into Vero's journey in graduate school, access points for under-celebrated scholars,  the meaning of being a scholar in a place not designed with you in mind to begin with, human-centered design, and what it means to center voices - and whose voices to center in a thesis.

It was a JOY to have this conversation and we know you will get a lot out of this episode.

Following this episode, there will be a short episode all about Vero's work and art!

The word "boundary" can actually have quite a negative connotation. So, in today's episode, I decided to go ahead and break that word down, what it means in grad school, and how we can apply it so that both our own selves and our communities can benefit from our own boundary-setting.

In Episode 9 of Season I, we discuss the Hows, Whys, Whens, and Whats behind giving all types of talks in graduate school!

In this episode, we dive into the development, maintenance, and meaning of one's character in science, one's character as a scientist.

My lovely listeners, today I reflect on a question that was sent to me a few weeks ago.  It gave me a perfect chance to share some of the pockets of thoughts that I believe may be most useful in one's journey through the initial years (and even later on) of grad school!  I hope you enjoy!!

In this episode, we get down and dirty with some of the topics to consider as you dive into Year 1 of grad school!

In this episode, we discuss some of the most important factors to think about when considering your graduate school advisor / PI.

In this episode, we shift gears into more specialized concerns and requests that I’ve received about not just surviving in, but succeeding through graduate school. 
To help listeners sort through these episodes (in case you want to skip around), I continue to keep a flavor of chronology in the topics such that if you are deeper into your graduate path, check out the later episodes in this series, and if you are earlier, then vice versa. 

In this episode, we'll dive even deeper into the remaining steps of applying to graduate school, staying organized, and doing it all the right way.
