Episode 10 is here!!. And it features a researcher who works at the cutting edge. About time we got a researcher on the podcast and we're confident that this episode won't disappoint. Our guest today is Sumedha Pareek, a 2014 graduate from the Department of Biotechnology at IIT Madras and a currently a graduate research assistant at the iconic MD Anderson Cancer Center. However, her journey so far has had its fair share of twists and turns from being a 7 pointer at IITM to taking up a consulting assignment right out of campus. In this episode, she talks to us about how she stuck with her passion through all this and about just who is the right fit for a career as a researcher. Research isn't an easy profession by any stretch of the imagination and this episode will help you understand whether it is the path for you and about whether you are ready to 'fail on a daily basis'.
