In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with 5th year Biomedical Sciences PhD Candidate, Hannah Shows, about her experience as a woman in a male-dominated field. We discuss her research in computer science and drug design, what it means to be "professional" women in the workspace, and experiences of discrimination that Hannah has dealt with. We also share stories and questions from Hannah's Instagram followers & I almost cry!
