What happens when you went into STEM to change the world and you find that you’re instead just trying to not drown in emails and meetings? Welcome to STEMdentity with your host, Dr. Anna Hodshire, PhD. Anna had 5 jobs in 5 years after grad school. This experience along with building up her own support team helped her to go from feeling disconnected from how she thought science was supposed to be to finding her Why and her own unique STEMdentity. She now is growing and learning in a faculty position in a field completely outside of her training. This podcast dives into the many pressures that take away your focus, time, and creativity and offers concrete stories, actions, interviews, and tools to help you to grow into your most creative, fun, impactful STEMtastic self.

    Balancing full-time work with getting a PhD with Francisco Cordova

    You know what’s absolutely wild to me?! People who have full time jobs and go to school at the same time. I was a full time student for all of my higher education (undergraduate and graduate school) and I barely survived being a full-time cat mom for only half of that. But! I am really fortunate enough to get to work with a ton of amazing people and students who are balancing both with such grace. Francisco Cordova is one of those amazing people and I can’t wait for you to meet him!

    Journal Club: Improving landfill methane measurement methods with Dr. Nadia Tarakki

    Welcome to STEMdentity Journal Club! Every month, I find an exciting peer-reviewed journal article and interview one of its lead authors. We talk about their paper, their work, and their STEM identities. My guest today is Dr. Nadia Tarakki, who is a postdoctoral researcher at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. She works at the very cool FluxLab, led by Dave Risk. We’re digging into her awesome 2026 paper Rethinking EPA Method 21 Surface Emissions Monitoring: Quantifying performance limits for methane detection at municipal solid waste landfills in the journal Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene. We talk about both how Method 21 performed both in their modeling results and real-world test site SIMFLEX along with how other methods perform and what method made the most sense from a cost analysis! **Small correction: Dr. Tarakki said 2013 a few times when talking about SIMFLEX-LF. It actually started in 2023!** Follow Fluxlab on LinkedIn Follow Dave Risk on LinkedIn And OF COURSE you should follow Dr. Tarakki on LinkedIn!! Excited for more? Here is the paper that we also mentioned about the 8 Canadian landfills! 2023 to 2025 SIMFLEX Reports on the EREF Website (EREF is the Environmental Research and Education Foundation!) And all the other FluxLab papers came out on landfill emissions this year and under the Elementa Special Feature: Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Landfill Emissions: https://online.ucpress.edu/collection/11870/Special-Feature-Climate-and-Air-Quality-Impacts-of Song of the week: Unbelievable by ADONA If you loved this episode: Follow me on Instagram at @STEMdentity or LinkedIn at Anna Hodshire & feel free to DM me anytime with questions or ideas for future episodes!

    Science communication and writing with Dr. Theresa Barosh

    STEM is a team sport. Our scientific endeavors and engineering marvels are too complex to be handled by the same person. Today, I’m excited to talk to one of the people who are on the “front-lines” of science and engineering: Dr. Theresa Barosh, a professional science communicator for Colorado State University! Dr. Barosh got a PhD in Ecology and moved to science communication immediately after graduate school. She writes amazing articles for Colorado State University and manages the beautiful csuatmossci Instagram account. Check out Dr. Barosh’s dissertation to learn more about why galls are the best: Plant-mediated interactions among gall forming insects And: her defense video and blog post - her first major post from her PhD days focused on SciComm: Beyond the Pubs: Sprucing up Your Elevator Pitch - Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University CSU Department of Atmospheric Science Instagram: CSU Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere blog: CIRA science stories CIRA video quotes Song of the week: it’s a three-parter!

    How to get better at talks part 3: Bringing notes

    There’s no right way to give a fantastic talk and yet there seems to be a stigma in STEM against having written notes with you when you’re giving a talk at a conference or other large speaking engagement. There are so many other situations in which people are reading off of written scripts (audiobooks! acting!) so let’s drop the stigma. There are ways to easily set yourself up for giving a wonderful, engaging talk even if you script out almost every single word, so let’s dig into how to do it well.

    Generalists and specialists and the joy of creative hobbies with Paul Jenkins

    My favorite part of going to conferences is making new, unique connections that I could never have predicted. Paul Jenkins is one of those instant connections of someone who is the embodiment of someone who has figured out how to live a life well lived, with so much more to come! Paul is the CEO of two highly successful engineering firms and still spends a great deal of focus and energy on challenging and growing himself through many degrees - the latest being a PhD in Systems Engineering. We talk about so many things - the value and need for both generalists and specialists, the joy of creative hobbies, and beyond! Song of the week: Make it Rain by Madam Waits Want to work with me?

    Journal Club: Methane production pathways in open oceans with Dr. Thomas Weber

    Welcome to STEMdentity Journal Club! Every month, I find an exciting peer-reviewed journal article and interview one of its lead authors. We talk about their paper, their work, and their STEM identities. My guest today is Dr. Thomas Weber, who is an associate professor at University of Rochester in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. We’re digging into his group’s 2026 PNAS journal article “Phosphate scarcity governs methane production in the global open ocean”, written with his graduate student (now graduated! congrats!) Dr. Shengyu Wang as first author and his postdoctoral researcher Dr Hairong Xu as second author. Dr. Weber has been working on ground-breaking research in nutrient cycling in oceans and open water along with methane from both oceanic and terrestrial sources and it was an honor to get to spend an hour in his world!

    Easy ways to make a great job application for your next STEM job

    Applying for a new job is a part of growing in your STEM career! ... and yet most of us do it so rarely that each application can feel overwhelming and stressful. I’ve had the opportunity to review many applications for several different job postings both at a large institution and at small businesses. Today’s episode is all about how to connect your job posting to the human on the other side of your application packet, from following the 1” margin rule (seriously! it's not worth shoving in a couple more sentences!) to making a personal connection that makes your reviewer excited about the possibility of you joining their organization!
