SCIENCES

The peer-unreviewed podcast that gives a voice to research students. Take a seat with us and listen to graduate (wannabe) scientists tell you all about their work, their projects, and all the good and bad things that constitute a young researcher’s life. No supervisor, no thesis committee: just a casual discussion, hosted by Maël Mauchand in collaboration with PGSS at McGill.

Mussels, Osteoarthritis and the Dark Side of Grad Research

Guests: Mihai (Chemistry, McGill) and Haley (Pharmacology, McGill) In this episode, after Mihai and Haley tell us all about their research, we move on to the touchy subject of graduate research gone wrong. Workspace and relationships, pressure, time constraints, things do not always go the way we want. Haley and Mihai have had these experiences, but they also have some helpful advice and very good spirit!

Speech Impairments, Speech Impairments and How to Be Both Researcher and Clinician

Guests: Angela MacDonald (Communication Sciences and Disorders, McGill) and Heather Reid (Communication Sciences and Disorders, McGill) In this episode, after Angela and Heather tell us about their research, we discuss their particular situation, juggling between student research and clinical practice. Although, I mostly try to keep the episode together while they laugh uncontrollably in my microphone. And of course, a little game at the end! Audio Post-Production by Jacob Rosenberg.

Food Intake, Depression and What Is Neuroscience

Guests: Tal Slutzki (Neuroscience, McGill) and Malosree Maitra (Neuroscience, McGill) In this episode, after Tal and Malosree tell us all about their research, we talk about our field, neuroscience, how we got there, what it means to us, and why it is such a complicatedly diverse area of research. We also talk about our recent passing of our Candidacy Exam, one more step towards our Ph.D. degree! Audio Post-Production by Jacob Rosenberg. Artwork by Jenna McMullan.

Gas Hydrates, Spray Freezing and Research with Supercomputers (+ 1st-ever Grad Student RPG)

Guests: Samuel Mathews (Chemical Engineering, McGill) and Saad Akhtar (Mining & Materials Engineering, McGill). In this episode, Sam and Saad tell us all about their research and discuss what it is like to work with supercomputers, running simulations instead of collecting empirical data. Another perspective on scientific research, with its fair share of tribulations. And to conclude the episode, an attempt at making some sort of student-life-inspired RPG, which turned out to be a lot of fun! Audio Post-Production by Jacob Rosenberg. Artwork by Jenna McMullan. Intro music: Shimo - Dead Child [ 実際には悲しい歌 ]Excerpts from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) and Spider-Man (2002). This podcast was created in collaboration with PGSS at McGill.

Guests: Yufang Ruan (SCSD - School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, McGill) and Melissa Mendes Silva (Physics, McGill). In this episode, after Yufang and Melissa tell us all about their research, we talk about our experience as international students, the opportunities and obstacles we can meet, our cultural values... And we finish by a little game to recommend places in Montreal!

Guests: Josi Gold (Biomedical Engineering, UdeM) and Ben Dringoli (Physics, McGill) In this episode, after Josi and Ben tell us all about their work, we do a little summary of our (very) early research careers. We talk about classes, the development of our projects, our doubts and our hopes, Josi's issues with French and Ben's philosophical approach on learning. And of course, to keep on the "tradition", a little trivia game at the end! Audio Post-Production by Jacob Rosenberg. Artwork by Jenna McMullan.

Foreign Accents, Diabetes and What to Do at Conferences

Guests: Yondu Mori and John Jahchan In this episode, after Yondu and John tell us more about their research, we talk about scientific conferences, and all the good and less good experiences that come with it. We also discover what kind of researcher we are by taking a very complex personality quiz.
