Mental manipulation, working overtime, blackmailing??? Why do some PIs do this? Not this PI! This week I am joined by an amazing guest, Dr. Paul Marcogliese, who is a baby PI! From postdoc and research tech to now PI and content creator, Paul and I, respectively, catch up on our lives! We discuss the origins of Lab Shenanigans, recognizing yellow/red flags in lab, the struggles of being a new PI, and comparing the stipends in US and Canadian grad programs!
Check out the Marcogliese Lab!

Hiya, howdy, and hello! On this week's episode, I have the opportunity to catch up with one of the most influential people that motivated me to continue pursuing research... and that person is my former undergraduate lab manager! We talked about the lab's interview process, how this lab helped me get into the drag scene, what it's like to be heterophobic, and the big experimental booboo I made during my junior year in lab!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope this new year is treating you well! And if it's not... it's okay because we have a first-year psychology PhD student on this week's episode. He's one of my good'ol undergrad friends, and we were in the same nonprofit org together! We talk about that organization (Camp Kesem), the road to becoming a licensed psychologist, our personalities in elementary school, buying gifts for our partners, prioritizing our mental health, and how we react when our identities are challenged! This was such a fun episode, and I hope y'all enjoy it!!

HAPPY DECEMBER! For this week's episode, I bring in my three amazing guests, Jake Trippett, Paula Gonzalez, and Manny Harb (but Manny doesn't come in till the very end because... there's some juicy drama about the undergrad org he's helping out). It has been a HOT minute since our former undergrad, Paula, left to study abroad in DEUTCHLAND, and Jake is currently applying and interviewing for MD/PhD programs! We catch up on life, buying the newest technology, what it's like living in Germany, the stress of applying to medical school, the necessity of a hype person in lab, and some drama brought to you by Manny. I HOPES YOU LIKEY THE EPPYSODE!!

Guud eye might! Welcome back you laboratory rats! I FINALLY got my lab mates on the poddy, and we learned about the new element on the period table, suckondese! We also learned about how I joined this new lab, talked a bit about our supportive PI, healthy lab culture, gay slang, and how everyone in this lab hates gay people (*SIGH*). ENJOYYYY!!
