**** This episode was recorded a little bit before 48,000 UC grad students, post docs, and academic student employees went on strike. It has been a wild time, and (as of 12/4/22) we are about to enter our 4th week on strike. We will do an episode our experience during this time once we get a contract. You can learn more about whats going on here.  Join the Triplicates as they recap their summer and get ready for their THIRD year (!) in grad school. Want to share your experiences?
