In Curiosity Killed the Grad, fledgling graduate student Madeline Kane asks PhD candidates across the U.S. about their research, their research rabbit holes, and how they stay sane(ish) throughout their academic journeys. Learn about topics ranging from race and racism, to how we study the genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease. What is it actually like to work in a laboratory? How do you fund your work? Should you ditch school and open a coffee shop with your best friend? The answers may surprise you.
