Translate Your Training is a podcast where two PhD students speak to PhDs about how they translated their STEM training for their careers away from the bench
Earlier this year, I spoke to @TYourTPodcast about being a teaching professor, but this is only speaking from my personal experience! We're all a little bit different, and spend our time working on different things.

In our first season finale, Jackie Ward talks to us about how she went from advocating for bike lanes during graduate school to her current position in #sciencepolicy as #ChiefofStaff at the @NINDSnews. Listen here: https://t.co/PMuZhe6MK7 or wherever you get your #podcasts!
Check out the 🎉season finale🎉 of @TYourTPodcast. We feature another @UCSDBMS alumna, Jackie Ward, and talk about her journey from the bench to DC for the @AAAS_STPF and her current #sciencepolicy job at @NINDSnews.
Remember... when you’re thinking about career options after your PhD, you're not deciding on what to do for the rest of your life. You just have to know what you want to try next.
In S1Ep7, Grace tells us what it's like to be a #scientist at a large #pharma company and why an #academicpostdoc is not necessary in #industry. Listen here: https://t.co/AfJkBfKvCS or wherever you get your #podcasts! 🧵
Grace ends the episode with some words of encouragement to us and all the grad students out there that can't seem to see the finish line. #ItWillGetEasier
In S1Ep6, we step away from the bench but stay in #academia with @analog_ashley. She talks to us about how she uses her training from her PhD to juggle her responsibilities as a #teachingprofessor. Listen here: https://t.co/z10lP74z81 or wherever you get your #podcasts!🧵
Something we've heard from several of our guests so far is to tune in with what draws you in. @analog_ashley noticed she was more drawn to writing than benchwork early on.
In S1Ep5, @jyingling walks us through her science journey—from being a medical translator for her mother to starting @litldog, her own #publicrelations firm focusing on biotech companies. Listen here: https://t.co/rxsssmMf0Q or wherever you get your #podcasts! 🧵
One of the cons of doing #publicrelations for scientists is that many clients don't understand what public relations is. @jyingling does an amazing job of breaking it down for us in this week's episode.
In S1Ep4, @samjscience talks to us about how she discovered #scicomm and what she did during grad school to land her current position as a science host for @ACSReactions. Listen here: https://t.co/gl3lI2cp7R or wherever you get your #podcasts! 🧵
Going from a fulltime bench scientist to a fulltime #scicomm professional was a big leap with many new skills to learn. Because of this, Sam struggled with Imposter Syndrome. She overcame it by being her own cheerleader and learning to "get comfortable being uncomfortable."
