About Not That Kind of Doctor: A Podcast About the PhD
In graduate school, our research often becomes a part of who we are, for better or worse. What happens when the line between life and work becomes blurred? Join us every month as we give PhD students the spotlight to talk about their relationships to their research. If you are a fellow student, research nerd, wannabe buff, or generally curious human, we invite you along on this roller coaster ride of joy, despair, and revelation in graduate school.
