Listen "Double Shelix E004: Qualifying Exams // Conferences"
Episode Synopsis
Qualifying exams: who doesn't love months of preparation for a 3 hour oral exam that (potentially) covers everything you've ever learned? Sally and Kayla try to find the bright side, and are moderately successful, but quals are still rough you guys. They also argue that departments where passing quals is defined as being in the top X percentile really should reconsider, and set their students up for success! Also in this episode, conferences are exhausting, but Kayla has some strategies for pushing through. Finally, Kayla and Sally discuss soliciting effective feedback on your presentations. Spoiler alert: tell the audience what you want.Email us: [email protected] us: Twitter @doubleshelixpod, Instagram @doubleshelixpodcastMore: www.doubleshelix.com, www.betapleatedchic.com
