Monica just defended her PhD at Western University on Thursday! Her research involved critically examining the caregiving narratives of pediatric oncology nurses. Through her dissertation research, Monica came to understand the importance of stories – how accessible they are, how powerful they can be, and how some stories hold more power than others. Monica also saw that graduate students all had stories about their experiences with their research, their graduate studies, as well as their lives outside of graduate school. She started two podcasts – first, the #Grad...2021-08-2435 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolErin: Fiercely Independent and Incredibly DeterminedErin’s life trajectory thus far as been full of experiences, including moving to a new province and starting full-time work while finishing her Master’s. These experiences have also been full of lessons, like discovering that she is fiercely independent, able to juggle all that life throws at her, and say “I got this” to anything new that gets thrown her way. The biggest lesson she has learned thus far, however, is much simpler - if you love yourself, and have love from those you cherish most, the rest is gravy.2021-03-2358 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolJanelle: Rejection Embracer, Mutifaceted Meanderer, Dedicated MentorJanelle always wanted to help people, specifically in a health care context, but wasn’t fully sure how. After realizing that becoming a doctor wasn’t what she wanted to do, Janelle did, and became, so much more. Now as a researcher with a Masters and soon pursuing a PhD, Janelle faced rejection, met (and networked) with many researchers and friends, and used all the lessons learned from others to inform her experiences. Now, as a mentor, she knows that she has more power than she originally thought - and is teaching others the same.2021-03-091h 00Humans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolMonica: MonologuerThere's no new guest this week, so I quickly monologue on why and how I've been feeling over the last couple of weeks writing my dissertation.2021-02-2304 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolLauren: Grad School Drop Out, Mental Health Prioritizer, Finder of HerselfFor Lauren, doing a Master’s was not what she expected. With so many timelines up in the air, no real preparation for what a research Master’s involves, and significantly less structure, Lauren realized that she wasn’t meant to do research. After reflecting on her mental health and priorities for herself, she left grad school, and became a nurse. Little did she know that the majority of her nursing career (thus far) would be caring in a pandemic, where her care for COVID patients has helped her understand that her experience in grad school taught her many lesson...2021-02-0949 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolSarah: Redirector of Rejections, Believer of Timing, Person of ContrastOn her journey to becoming an occupational therapist, Sarah learned how to embrace and trust life's timing. Rejection from Canadian universities created an opportunity for redirection - including a plane ride over to Scotland. Looking back on her time in graduate school, Sarah can now see the lessons she's learned, the real life application of skills shared between her research and clinical worlds, the impact of the people and places (and sometimes spiders) around her, and how it's all shaped her to be the person of contrast she is today.2021-01-2657 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolJeremy: Storyteller and Story Reader, Pivoting Self-Discoverer, Wrestler of the GreyTW: Mentions of depression, anxiety, suicide Jeremy was going to be a professional wrestler. The kind you see on TV - jumping from the ropes, on top of ladders, or using fold-up chairs and circuitboards as weapons. He realized that maybe this isn’t the kind of wrestling he was meant to do. As someone who thrives in the grey spaces of our lives, Jeremy’s new love became adolescent literature, specifically focusing on mental health and being a productive member of a capitalist society. Through his story reading, storytelling, and teaching on the power of stories, he h...2021-01-121h 22Packaging Europe\'s PodcastPackaging Europe's PodcastSustainability Perspectives - TaghleefComplementing the 2020 edition of Packaging Europe's Sustainable Packaging Summit, Tim Sykes discusses the technological and strategic challenges of building a circular economy with Taghleef Industries flexible packaging and labelling experts Mario Molinaro, Monica Battistella and Simone Baldin. Packaging Europe's podcast, featuring the leading international figures in packaging innovation, sustainability and strategy, is now weekly!

But after she sustaining an injury, everything flipped. In university, she realized that people were more interested in her thoughts and opinions than what she was expressing or doing with her body. This realization awakened her love of learning, and Shannon became involved in Student Life, knowing the value of being a student leader. However, she also learned that others’ perceptions of student “value” differs. What happens when value is only assigned based on your ability to work? And what does that mean for life beyond...2020-12-1542 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolMaisha: Med School Rejector, Friendship Fosterer, Truster of the UniverseLike many of her friends, Maisha wanted to go to medical school. The first time she got rejected, she didn’t think much of it – it was a practice round. But by the time her second round of applications started getting rejected, she took a different path. Going to grad school, at first, was really difficult – being in an environment that wasn’t good for her, and not knowing anyone had her questioning her decision. But after sticking to her morals and trusting the universe, she switched supervisors, and has now come to the realization that the work she’s currentl...2020-12-0153 minHumans of Grad SchoolHumans of Grad SchoolSreekar: Naïve Optimist, Continent Hopper, Haver of NicesWhile spending a lot of time living, learning, and immersing himself in different countries and continents, Sreekar’s love for sports has been a constant. While the popular athletes he watches are by no means overrated, his research explores weird magnets in a field often underrated – condensed matter physics. Breaking down stereotypes about theoretical physicists portrayed in some popular shows, Sreekar dwells on what it means to be a scientist, and how to approach life’s problems with naïve optimism.
