<p>Hey Hokies! Let's get research-ical with today's guest, Dr. André Stevenson, Jr., a secondary market research analyst for <a href="https://www.gore.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">W.L. Gore & Associates</a>. André has a master’s of engineering and Ph.D. both in <a href="https://mse.vt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">materials science and engineering</a> from Virginia Tech, and has a significant background in biomedical engineering, bio-nanotechnology and materials science and engineering.</p> <p>In this episode, our hosts Niki and Megan chat engineering in and out of the lab; how undergraduate research can teach you how to think, rather than what to think; and that one Google search can charge the entire course of your life.</p> <p>André's best advice? Don't let your major or engineering discipline limit your thinking! Go big, and <strong>go for it!</strong></p> <p>Oh, and shoutout to André's Virginia Tech advisor, <a href="https://che.vt.edu/People/faculty/Whittington.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Abby Whittington</a>!</p> <p>Connect with André on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andr%C3%A9-stevenson-jr-phd-4aa06415/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">LinkedIn</a>, or via <a href="mailto:andre.t.stevenson@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">email</a>.</p>

<p>Hey Hokie! Experience global engineering with today's guest: Molly Boal, an Engineering and Technical Manager at <a href="https://www.sgatech.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">SGA Technologies Limited</a> in the United Kingdom. Molly has her bachelor’s in <a href="https://che.vt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">chemical engineering</a> from Virginia Tech, participated in study abroad at the Technical University of Denmark and conducted undergraduate research for microfluidic electroporation for gene and cell delivery (say that 10 times fast). </p> <p>In this episode, our hosts Megan and Niki chat finding your niche in an engineering field; studying abroad in Denmark (Så spændende!); and the value of participating in a year-long co-op. After Molly's co-op experience, she achieved a 4.0 in her classes, sOoO we think the co-op idea is selling itself.</p> <p>Connect with Molly via <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mollyjboal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>LinkedIn</strong></a>!</p>
