What you’re about to hear is the full, unedited interview with one of the guests we spoke with. If you haven’t listened to the fully produced episode yet, I definitely encourage you to do so before listening to this one. They’re shorter in length and much more refined. You can find them all at gradx.mit.edu/podcasts. The idea behind these longer, unedited conversation is to give you an opportunity to hear the entire talk, warts and all. This is not only a fun way to hear the full flow of the conversation but it also emphasizes the importance of the points made in the shorter, produced episodes, which again, can be found at gradx.mit.edu/podcasts. Thanks for listening and enjoy the conversation. Patrick Yurick: So what is your name and tell me a little bit about, you know, what brought you here and what you’ve studied and that kind of stuff. J: So my name is Jennifer Cherone and I’m a grad student here at MIT in the department of biology. So I came here about four years ago because I was interested in pursuing my PhD to become a scientist at a biotechnology company. Before I was at UC Berkeley and while I was there I actually worked at a biotech company (?) Sciences, working on gene regulation and I… RESTART Jennifer Cherone: My name is Jennifer and I study biology, more particularly I study post-transcriptional gene regulation and how micro(?) act in neurons. P: And you’ve been at MIT for how long? J: This is my 5th year in my MIT program at MIT. P: Are you almost finished? J: I would like to think so but these things… um, you never really know until the end, I think. P: Do you expect to be here for another couple years? J: Yeah, probably another year or two. The general amount of time that it takes for a student to graduate in the biology department is about six years, I think. Yeah, so it’s kind of the long-haul.
