Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense

Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense is a conversational science and academia podcast hosted by Manpreet, a biotech scientist, and Tess, a PhD student in statistics. We talk about science, research, and life in STEM, from biology and statistics to academia, industry, and nonlinear careers. We also end up discussing friendships, gender dynamics in STEM, and whatever else comes up while trying to understand how things actually work. Sometimes thoughtful, sometimes unserious, always grounded in science and curiosity. New episodes when life allows, hopefully every Wednesday.
