Grad Scientists and Where to Find Them Maël Mauchand

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!

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!

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!

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!

 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!
