Welcome to Dr. Mandie Unedited, the podcast where we discuss research, writing, and PhD realness! My name is Dr. Mandie. I am a researcher and an academic editor who wants to empower people to be successful in their PhD process and in the research world because I believe that the more beautiful minds that are developing research, the better! AND, the more we foster evidence-informed minds outside of academia, the better the world will be.
