Posted on Tuesday, Jul 14, 2020
Your hosts, Dr. Sabah Kadri and Arshi Arora are women in science celebrating a friendship that spans over a decade. In this episode, get up-close and personal and get to know your hosts, their journeys in science and the hardships along the way. They discuss what excites them about science (Spoiler alert-it’s everything), an embarrassing revelation and advice for young scientists starting out in the field. Join us in getting to know the people who bring you Computationally Yours.
