This week I speak with Dr. Molly Kingsley, a Post-Doctoral Scholar at Tufts University in Boston who identifies as bisexual and is married to a woman. She recently completed her PhD in molecular biology at the University of Colorado. We discuss the challenge of moving across the country in the middle of her PhD, which resulted in significant feelings of isolation.

My guest this week is Dr. Tony Cliffe, Senior Lecturer and Assessment Officer at the University of Chester. We chat about how he finished his PhD undertime by setting boundaries, treating his PhD like a job, and learning to say no.

This week I chat with Dr. Krishana Sankar, a recent graduate of the Department of Physiology and Experimental Medicine at the University of Toronto. Krishana is also the creator of the online graduate student community, Grad Write Slack. We chat about overcoming isolation, dealing with competition, and defending her dissertation on Zoom.

My guest this week is Erik Fraunberger, PhD candidate in Neuroscience at the University of Calgary. We chat about conducting research on rats, overcoming burnout, and managing time whether working in the lab or working from home.

This week I'm talking with Catie Sevigny, a PhD Candidate in tumor biology at George Town University in Washington D.C. We talk about navigating the application process, working from home, and getting past getting scooped.
