Listen "42: Grad School 101: Defending Your Work"
Episode Synopsis
Grad school defenses are the ultimate test of a researcher’s expertise, challenging students to defend their work (sometimes years worth of it!) before a panel of experts. But why are they so important? In this episode, we break down the purpose of various types of defenses, what makes them so nerve-wracking, and how they shape the next generation of scientists.
