The Juice and the Squeeze
@juicesqueezepod.bsky.social
A zesty podcast by two academics (@jpeelle.bsky.social and @juliafstrand.bsky.social) about where, how, and why we focus our efforts.

Inspired by a listener email, @jpeelle.bsky.social and @juliafstrand.bsky.social talk about mentoring, with specific attention to how it might look different for trainees of different stages! www.juiceandsqueeze.net/50
Mentoring students at different career stages
Inspired by a listener question, Jonathan and Julia talk about mentoring, with specific attention to how it might look different for trainees of different stages (for example, undergraduate vs. graduate students). Important considerations include generalizable "don't call them soft" skills related to time management, organization, and so on. Some strategies include formal onboarding for new lab members, individual development plans, and “professional development” portions of lab meetings. Julia learned the importance of knowing the *why* of something in the context of sweeping the floor.

Inspired by new episodes of @juicesqueezepod.bsky.social I'm posting some of my favorites from the past. Episode 6: Aggressively friendly Thoughts on conferencing, including on "networking" (but don't call it that in front of Julia) www.juiceandsqueeze.net/6
Aggressively friendly
Sometimes it works to just go to a conference and wander around, but more often having a strategy is useful. Probably trying to do EVERYTHING will not be a winning strategy. Networking just means maki...

Inspired by new episodes of @juicesqueezepod.bsky.social I'm posting some of my favorites from the past. Episode 1: Winding Roads We may not have known what we were doing but we had fun talking about our career paths and how we (and others) end up in their positions. www.juiceandsqueeze.net/1
Winding Roads
In their first ever podcast Julia and Jonathan talk about how many people’s careers don’t go in a straight line, and how this is often OK (but beware of survivorship bias). In the course of talking ab...

Inspired by new episodes of @juicesqueezepod.bsky.social I'm posting some of my favorites from the past. Episode 5: A pile of no's We should all be saying “no” to a lot of things but don’t. This is still a growing edge for my personal development. 😬 www.juiceandsqueeze.net/5
