Ep. 7: A Day in the Life of an Astronomy PhD Student: Caprice Phillips
In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with Caprice Phillips (@CapricePhillips) about her Day in the Life as a 2nd-year Astronomy PhD Student. They discuss Caprice's undergrad experience studying Physics, her self-taught programming, and journal clubs in grad school. Plus, they discuss their stances on aliens and Pluto (spoiler: they do NOT agree), Caprice discusses imposter syndrome, fighting through the boys club, and advice for any student who has been told they don't belong in academic spaces (spoiler: YOU DO). AND, Elana reveals her obsession with planetariums.
