Episode 18 - Confessions of a Graduating Graduate Student
The dreaded thesis defense. While there are arguably harder things that you have to complete as a graduate student, there are few things more important than a successful thesis defense. Ironically, for how transparent the scientific and research process is aimed to be, the defense process itself can hold somewhat of a mythical value in its obscurity.
In this final episode, Anna and I chat about the process of preparing for a PhD defense, what you can expect during the defense, and tips for how to leave the other end with a few extra letters added to your title.

Episode 17 - Confessions of a Grad Student with Imposter Syndrome
Feeling like a fraud or imposter while in graduate school is so common, it may very well just be a rite of passage. But feeling imposter syndrome does not take away from your value as a graduate student nor the work and training you are doing. Our feelings may be real, but they do not reflect reality.
In this episode, Anna and I chat about the stories of grad students who felt like frauds or imposters, and how common these feelings can be within grad school.
