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.

This episode, we have Dr. Janice Phung. That's right! We got ourselves an ex-grad lifer! She's now a psychology professor at CSU San Marcos. Come listen as she discusses autism research, how martial arts can benefit children living with autism, the HUGE amount of uncertainty that comes with switching advisors midway through your PhD program, and how awesome coffee ice cream is.
Also, I might finally (sort of) have a handle on this audio business :^)

For this episode, we have Krista Fruehauf, a chemist at UC Irvine who researches new and interesting ways to grow polymers, and how they can be used to better deliver drugs to where it needs to go in your body. She also talks about grappling with sudden loss, how it impacted grad school, and the wonderful (awful) stress coping mechanism of not eating.

Welcome to the This Grad Life Podcast! On this podcast, I interview current and ex-grad students, ask about their research, and commiserate about how awful grad school can be.
For our very first interview, I'd like to introduce PhD Candidate Kellen Kartub. She is a chemist at UC Irvine who works with nanoparticles to enhance analytical techniques. She also talks about the joys of cryo-em, why it's a great (terrible) idea to plan both your marriage and your thesis defense at the same time, being a science communicator on instagram, and also the stress benefits of eating ramen.

Welcome to This Grad Life! This podcast is about cutting edge research, and the poor broken souls that make it happen. Every two weeks, I interview a graduate student, talk about their work, and discuss the hilarious smorgasbord of existentially dreadful forces that plague this hard working bunch.
This podcast will officially launch October 22, 2019. I hope you'll tune in and listen to all of the ups and down, victories and failures, and drudgery and adventure that is grad school.
