Ep.1 – In the beginning

We are 3 professors in engineering and sciences at different stages in our academic careers. This podcast is to discuss issues and challenges we all face as academics in STEM fields and to encourage and inspire one another as we explore This Academic Life.

We hope this show will become a platform to facilitate a community where we can learn from each other and make an impact in STEM education and research.

In this opening episode, we will introduce ourselves and about the show.
