24. Meanderings On The Pursuit of Academic Parasites

On this episode of the podcast, our host, Matt Asciutto reflects back on how our early academic pursuits shape our entire worldview - and how often times we shape an entire life based on guidance that may or may not have any merit. This is true for veterinarians, of course; but any pre-professional student likely can see little pieces of their own journey in this as well. Thank you, Dr. Katherine Fogelberg, for stirring up some obviously deep emotions in our conversation from the previous episode (Episode 23) "Weird, Complicated Parasites."

By the end of the episode, we hope to offer an alternative view of an academically minded path - and some options about how to give advice to students coming up through the academia pipeline.
