On today's pod we have Steph Davies interviewing Reeda Mahmood who is a graduate student in Bryan's lab currently in the process of transferring into the PhD program. Reeda reveals the surprising fact that she actually hasn't liked chemistry since the tenth grade and it was only 6 months into her master's that she began to enjoy chemistry. She gives tips for how to survive school and other important skills to have such as getting involved in non-academic activities which actually pushed her towards becoming a business owner. So please lean in and enjoy this conversation with Steph and Reeda.
