IIn this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with 4th year Health Psychology PhD student, Ryan Linn Brown (@ryanlinnbrown & @ryansscience), about #scicomm and human connection to research. They discuss Ryan's recent grief journey and how she continues her dad's legacy through her #scicomm work. Plus, Ryan talks about not being cool in high school (SAME) and Elana & Ryan debate Harry Potter for 5 straight minutes (sorry, not sorry).
