Hi everyone, I'm Rana. In this podcast, I'm asking academics in psychology about their journey in academia, work-life, and some other questions not directly related to their research... The aim is to go beyond their research and put a face (in this case, a voice) and a story to the names you see on scientific papers. Hope you'll enjoy it!
