This episode features my conversation with Melanie Stark who is wrapping up her senior year as a Chemistry major while also applying for PhD programs and fellowships. Mel shares some of the reasons she wants to get a PhD and we chat about the scary and stressful parts leading up to it. She also gives some advice for others who are planning to apply in the next few years! I hope our conversation is valuable for anyone else who is thinking about doing a PhD or has decided to apply. Enjoy!
