In this second episode of PhDreams, we explore the world of academic conferences with our guest, Professor Anne Roggeveen from Babson College— former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Retailing. She joins us for an inspiring conversation about everything from networking (or as she prefers to call it, "meeting") and handling tough feedback during presentations, to juggling conference travel with family life and how these events might evolve in the future. We also touch on the broader theme of finding balance in life as a researcher.

Plus, we answer our very first listener question!
