Ep. 24: A Day in the Life of a Computational Biology PhD Candidate: Krístina Ulicná

In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with Krístina Ulicná (@kristinaulicna) about her Day in the Life as a 3rd year PhD Candidate in Computational Biology. They discuss her research in computational cancer cell biology (AKA robot cancer), her journey to PhD (and her daunting round of rejections), her program structure and double mentor model, and why choosing the right career path for YOU is always the right thing to do -- listen to your gut, people! Plus, Krístina gives Elana the pep talk of her life at the end of the episode when Elana reveals she hasn't put the podcast on her CV.
