In the first pod of the year, we talk about what kept us occupied for most part of the last decade -- our research. We make an attempt to break down the process of a PhD, why it takes so long, why should one bother funding academics at all, and what does one gain out of all this. In the process, we shower special love on our engineering degree and what it taught (or mis-taught us). Before all that, we talk about the song that defines the turn of the decade. Also, bahut saara gyaan!
All this and more, in this first episode of 2020.
