Curiosity Killed the Grad
In Curiosity Killed the Grad, fledgling graduate student Madeline Kane asks PhD candidates across the U.S. about their research, their research rabbit holes, and how they stay sane(ish) throughout their academic journeys. Learn about topics ranging from race and racism, to how we study the genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease. What is it actually like to work in a laboratory? How do you fund your work? Should you ditch school and open a coffee shop with your best friend? The answers may surprise you.

Epidemiology with Mateo Jacques
Today I sit down with Mateo Jacque, a PhD student studying HPV-associated cancers in the Epidemiology department at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I ask Mateo why they decided to pursue a PhD, how they go about researching HPV-associated cancers, and how they stay a little stressed, but not too stressed, for optimal productivity.
