Confidence, exams, and finding your path

When you hear someone say "...and then I ate my words", you know it's going to be a good episode. Joining hosts Jasmine (she/her) and Alice (she/her), Modinat (she/her) and Ashika (she/her) chat about the gift of confidence - a sprinkle of which can be the difference between a B and an A*, it turns out. There's also discourse on getting the energy right - finding that delicate balance between work/home, and who fills your cup - as well as how our guests found their path into this wacky and wonderful industry. That's the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We're joined by Modinat, a first year PhD student in Inorganic Chemistry and the baby of her research peers! She really cares about making her craft (making mirrors sounds pretty much like magic) accessible for others on a global scale with her social media, as well through conversations at the kitchen table with her family.

We're lucky enough to have not one, but two fundamental science girlies with us! Ashika (she/her) is a Physics alumni and expert STEM tutor for high-school students all around the world. Aside from getting them the best grades, she is a BIG advocate for emboldening students with critical thinking and a lasting confidence to store in their life-long 'toolkit'.

So, put your headphones on, grab a coffee and get comfy as we share stories, perspectives, and have a good old laugh while we're at it. You thought you didn’t have sisters to turn to for advice? Oh, yes you do.
