I just finished listening to the episode on time management. I love the idea of chunking goals in shorter duration so you can evaluate progress and make changes as needed. The discussion about mastermind was great also. Accountability and support are paramount to success.
Love it!!
I flashback to my college days (no, not the ones on the weekend), but think back to some of my college professors. They always looked stressed. Some days they seemed like an unguided missile. I took particular note because my grade may depend on it. I wish they had this podcast back then. If you’re looking for simple hacks to make your life easier, then check out this podcast.
Totally niche, which means totally appropriate and helpful for you, if you are creating or are part of a research team. You can hear the dedication to the topic, and it's great information.
As a grant writer and proposal writer, I enjoy this podcast. It is always great to hear from the long-term academics in research.
Matt and Christine come off as extremely confident and knowledgeable in their field. Great listen.
I love how Matt described this podcast: "virtual coffee shop for mentoring" and I couldn't agree more. I've listened to several episodes, have had a great experience and definitely have learned a lot from the host and all of the guests! This show is highly recommended!
This is such a helpful show for professionals that experience the distractions and noise in their profession. Christine and Matt certainly put you in the right space.
This is a very professionally done podcast with two knowledgeable and charming hosts. I look forward to hearing all they have to say and learning from their guests. And I plan to recommend the show to my grad students. Thanks for a great podcast!
This is a great resource for early career scientists. Very well done!
Such a genuine Friendship! You guys wokr so well together. I am so excited to listen and learn more. I highly recommend.
An under-utilized area that is being given the overdue spotlight, Matt and Christine do a beautiful job at normalizing the issues that go with the academic world and how to make it work.
Love the concept! Listened to the first few episodes and it’s clear that the hosts are thoughtfully exploring the kinds of topics scientists and academics really need to do all the non-science work that wasn’t part of our training (building/managing a team, automating processes, etc.).
Can’t wait to see where it goes!
