A podcast about hot research and the hot mess (grad student) behind it! This Grad Life is all about celebrating cutting edge research and commiserating with the poor souls that do all of the work. Here in this podcast I interview grad students and we talk about their research, what they've learned, and what they've discovered about themselves.

EP 13 - Richa Yeshvekar - Flowers, Wellness, Chai
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Meet Richa Yeshvekar, plant biologist at University of Leeds. This agricultural scientist wants to help feed people. But along the way, she stumbled upon an interesting question regarding flowers. Most living creatures have a ton of variation within the species. Folks, for example, come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. But flowers of a species all look the same! Turns out, they try real hard at making it that way. In this episode, Richa will talk about why. But this research ain't no bed of roses (except when it literally is). She also coordinates a student wellness group on campus. When all else fails, there is always chai.
