Getting through grad school has its challenges. How are those challenges compounded with moving to a new country? Let's chat about the international student experience and being abroad.

This week, we will be joined by Thiago Arzua (he/him), a PhD candidate in neuroscience at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Thiago was born and raised in Brazil. In August, he will be completing his 8th year as an international student in the US. You can follow Thiago on Twitter at @thiagoarzua
