As undergrads, it can be difficult to decide what exactly you'd like to do after graduation. Some might default to saying that they will get their Master's or PhD, but what exactly do you do during grad school?! Tune in to this week's episode for advice from Angelica and Kristen as they share their stories of their academic journeys. Learn about how rewarding research can be, what challenges can be associated with academia and how to decide what career is really for you.
Without epidemiologists, our world would be at risk for uncontrolled disease outbreaks, uninformed health policies, and ultimately lower life expectancy. So, yeah... we need them! Are you interested in health and disease, but also working with statistics? Public Health and Epidemiology might be the perfect career for you. Tune in to this week's episode to learn all about what the journey to becoming an epidemiologist could look like! Mikaela chats with Penny and Ryann as they tell us exactly how they got to where they are today! 🦠📊
As we approach the end of exam season, mid-December blues are hitting hard and can be difficult to see through. Don't worry! The HTBW Holiday Special is here to brighten your day! Join Mikaela as she interviews the Podcast Team behind Season 7! The team discusses 2024's 'STEM Wrapped', including hot topics in STEM this year and advances in technology such as ChatGPT, biodegradable plastics, reverse genetics, etc! We love a controversial topic. To finish off the episode, Mikaela guides the team through a lighthearted game of Holiday STEM Trivia (we definitely got every question right...) Take a study break, tune in! You deserve it. Good luck and Happy Holidays from the Pod Team!!!🎄⭐️☃️
Have you ever wondered how the universe operates on a fundamental level? Join Mikaela as she chats with Kate and Charlotte about their respective experiences in the fields of physics and computing!

From the undergraduate level to the doctorate level, explore what kind of opportunities there are in this field of STEM! The scope of possibilities are TRULY endless!!!
Join Mikaela as she chats with Aranya and Rachel from FREED (Field Research in Ecology and Evolution Diversified), a field work association focusing on providing hands-on learning opportunities for BIPOC students. Are you a nature lover? Learn about the importance of gaining experience in the field, and the scope of possibilities that are available to those interested in the conservation of our environment. From land to water, there is so much to explore within the realm of ecology and conservation. Tune in to hear about what field work ecologists are focusing on today and what you can do to get involved!
Exploring the field of medicine can be daunting after learning that you might have to write a 7 hour exam... Tune in to hear how Ayesha and Claire from QUEMA, Queen's University Exploring Medicine Association, conquered the MCAT! Learn the scope of studying hacks and resources that are available, and that it's not as scary as it may seem. From reading scientific articles to help you get into the studying groove, to how to practice the timing of your CARS section, there are so many amazing ways to prepare for this exam!
