Post-Doc reasoning (with Jackie Lane from HBS)

Episode 40 is a milestone for the Desk Reject team in 2 respects. 1st, we recorded our entire episode in English - which will be our MO for the near future. 2nd, it's EPISODE 40!! And we have a very special guest, Jacqueline Ng Lane, former Post Doc at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard and current Assistant Professor at Harvard Business School. In the first part of the episode, she will be sharing advice for grad students regarding: - What is a lab in Social Sciences - visiting abroad in general and the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard specifically - what the decision process was around starting a postdoc after her PhD - how life will change as an Assistant Professor - Whether you should apply as a visiting researcher or postdoc at one of Harvard's labs Thereafter, your usual hosts (minus Sophie who couldn't make it) discuss whether our opinion about embarking on a postdoc has changed in light of Jackie's input. Finally, Alexander has a more positive review of his stay abroad after several complaints regarding his last episode's resumé.
