I currently work at a lab and enjoy listening to it while I do my tasks at work. I related to the struggles that the host talks about and found the advice she had helpful. I really liked the episode with AdaMarie and excited to have gotten to know a new resource! Looking forward to more episodes

Engineering role models
Great podcast! I’ve been a loyal listener since my 3rd year of college, and now as a software engineer, I can relate to the early career advice and advocate the same college tips they give to students. Love the life updates as we are are advancing in our careers and also life outside work. Look forward to the podcast each week! Keep it up :)
