@AcademicChatter We’ve recently done a short podcast on PhD students and faith (featuring some Christians), check it out! https://t.co/bczjGOUKTz

[SOFI Sessions @SOFI_Sessions]

Do PhD students believe in God? As for the rest of the population, some do, some don’t, and some aren’t sure! In this series, our speakers discuss their diverse relationships to faith and how it relates to studying science. Have a listen! #AcademicChatter
