This month Rebecca has a run in with a T-Rex and Jodi contemplates whether laughing is an acceptable response to ‘how are you’ towards the end of your PhD. We’re also joined by Dr. Srishti Baid, a microbiologist who shares her experiences of moving from India to the USA for her research career. Srishti shares helpful tips and insight on the unexpected challenges of making an international move for her career, plus how some of these obstacles intersect with being an Indian woman in STEM.

Check out this school outreach initiative - tried, tested and recommended by Srishti (and other past guests) - which puts scientists into classrooms around the world to chat to school students and answer their most burning questions.
