After a little break, we have a brand new episode for you. This time, Adrianna is joined by Alexis, a PhD student at the Biological Sciences department at Royal Holloway, who tells her all about his research around bumblebee parasites. Alexis shares his story of how a placement led him to become a PhD student, how he finds working with different institutions, and navigating a career change. You can also expect an array (perhaps a colony?) of fascinating bumblebee facts and reasons why we might find bumblebees charismatic. </p><p><br></p><p>If you would like to get involved in The Other Kind of Doctor podcast, either by appearing as a guest or working behind the scenes (or both!), email us at PGR.podcasts@rhul.ac.uk. </p><p><br></p><p>For updates, check out our Instagram page: tokod.official</p>","author_name":"Royal Holloway Doctoral School"}
