Touch DNA and Post-PhD Careers Advice. Guest: Donald Lush

Postdocalypse: King's College London Health Sciences DTC Podcast

Welcome to the second Postdocalypse episode of 2019! This podcast is produced by Health Sciences PhD researchers at King's College London. In this episode, we will help you sort out your life! Just kidding, but we will interview Donald Lush from the Careers & Employability office who has some reassuring advice about post-PhD options. Don't worry, you will find a job! In addition, we will hear from Elisa's favourite crime-solving gumshoe, Julie, who will discuss her research getting to the bottom of touch DNA in forensic science. Basically, you will never want to touch anything again! Spoiler: Your DNA is everywhere, even if you weren't. Check out the Master Class series we mention at Guy's Hospital to "broaden your perspective of how the science you generate fits in with the world at large." https://www.kcl.ac.uk/events/event-series?id=5a83b462-242a-41b7-adc5-21fff0ca0471 Reach out to Donald and his colleagues by any means necessary!
