    11: That's Not What Quantum Means!

    In this episode, Thomas and Kat are joined by Meagan Hough, a final year PhD student at the University of Bristol working in Quantum Physics. They discuss Meagan's journey to academia, their experiences being neurodivergent in academia, and their recently published Physics World article.

    9: Brain go brrr....

    In this episode, Thomas and Kat discuss managing your time and mental health as a PhD student or academic. They discuss their own challenges and how they've tried to overcome these. In this episode, we discuss Spoon Theory and how we and others have found it useful for describing how our brains function and interact with the academic environment. We want to acknowledge the origin of Spoon Theory in the chronic illness community. Read more at the link below.
