It’s your favorite STEM podcast, Don’t Be Scared! Where we learn more about the real people who make up STEM.

I’m your host, Dr. J, and I’m here to give you a little insight into the exciting world of STEM careers. On today's episode, we talk with Dr. Drew Hood, who is a postdoctoral researcher in chemistry. We got a chance to talk about his postdoc position at a university. We talked about what exactly a postdoc is and how he ended up working as a postdoc. Dr. Hood gives some great advice on finding a postdoc position—he explains what it takes to land one and get the most out of your time there.

And if you are wondering, yes—Dr. Hood did receive his doctorate degree in chemistry from Louisiana State University! My alma mater!  So listen up if you want to hear directly from someone who has been through this process before…
