    Becca and I are working on planning our next season of the podcast. We anticipate we will be releasing 4-6 new episodes between October and December. We’d love for you to submit your questions about grad school! You can take a listen to our previous episodes to get a sense of what typical questions look like, but in general we love answering any question from current Master’s or PhD students about topics like motivation, time management, learning strategies, impostor syndrome, dealing with your supervisor, career topics, conference life, and much more! Becca and I will use these questions to set the topic for our upcoming episodes and bring our experiences and knowledge of research in educational psychology to provide you with some options. If you submit a question and it is answered on our podcast, you'll get a free 3 month subscription to the new How To Grad School Club launched this fall. You can submit your question here.
