The PAM Talks is an interview series showcasing the voices of researchers who belong to traditionally underrepresented groups in Physics and Astronomy, specifically highlighting women and other gender minorities. If you were to ask a random person from the public, they would likely struggle to name even one woman scientist, let alone a physicist. Our mission is to address this lack of representation, increasing awareness among our audience about the diverse spectrum of researchers in physics and astronomy. We provide a platform for these researchers to share their work and personal experiences, fostering inclusivity and breaking down barriers in the scientific community.

2.0.6 How to survive grad school with Dr. Pamela Freeman and Dr. Pooja Woosaree
Dr. Pooja Woosaree and Dr. Pamela Freeman recorded this episode in December 2024, shortly after both of their PhD defences. They recap the highs and the lows, the trials and the joys of graduate school. They chat about their thesis research, the opportunities for international collaboration, their personal journeys through university, and the community they had at the University of Calgary (Pamela: maybe the real research was the friends we made along the way).
With a bonus topic: why this podcast is named the PAM Talks!
Pooja’s PhD: ‘First Measurement of Antihydrogen Free Fall Using a Radial Time Projection Chamber’, is explored in PAM Talks episode 1.5.1.
Pamela’s PhD: ‘Chemical Diversity in High-Mass Star-Forming Regions', will be explored in a future episode; for more radio astronomy, see Dr. Anna Ordog’s PAM Talks episode 1.0.1.
Edited and produced by: Dr. Pamela Freeman
