A new podcast about grad school and research (with @UMRobotics). 🍎: 🎧:

[How To Do Grad School @htdgs]

This week we talked w/ @hannah_kerner, Assistant Prof. @UofMaryland & U.S. co-lead @NASAHarvest, about her work in remote sensing using ML and what it's like to be a new prof.!

Working in the Valley was also uber informative to her deciding to pursue work that has an impact!😅

New podcast dropped! We caught up with @JuliaGonski, postdoctoral physicist @Columbia working on methods to parse data from the @ATLASexperiment.

We also touched on how important growth mindsets and maintaining positive vibes are for researchers!

This week on the pod, we linked up with @matthew_ac, a PhD student at Stanford working on Vertical Take-Off & Landing vehicle acoustics.

We talk about his journey to grad school, mentorship for younger students, & giving technical talks (among other things). Tune in!

When was the last time you recalibrated your research goals? Your life goals? On the pod this week, we discuss iterating on goals (links in thread)!

Bonus: Hear about @astronaia's research! We're bullish on her being the first person on Mars..

Tune in to hear how Kwesi Rutledge (@FerventEcrivain), @UMichECE PhD candidate, practices this kind of deliberate thought.

99% of the time Big Ideas are not the product of euphoric lightbulb moments, but instead of sustained, deliberate thinking about where your field is going.

A common misconception is that academics need to work all the time. Paradoxically, the best ideas often come when you allow your brain to step away from work.

There's some science around this phenomenon, but just listen to what David Kwabi, Assistant Prof. @umichme, has to say

[Ally Abel, MD, MPH |📍Alaska @drallymay]

This message is crucial!! There is so much growth in failure.

PS - You are incredible @Amanda_X_Chen 😍

[How To Do Grad School @htdgs]

If you’re a PhD student, chances are you’ve achieved some measure of success. But in grad school, failing is how you make progress on hard problems.

@Amanda_X_Chen, a recent PhD from @MITdeptofBE, talks about ways she has learned to balance this reality of research.
