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.

Meet Jaclyn Beck. She studies the aging process of microglia, which make up the brain's personal immune system defense force. While important, these cells are heavily implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Since age is the biggest risk factor for this disease, she's trying to figure out a way to artificially age these cells. That way, they can be studied more easily. And she gave up a stable NASA job in order to do so! Why yes, I too prefer ice cream when dealing with my own impostor's syndrome.
