A proposito di questo titolo

Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense is a conversational podcast hosted by Manpreet, a biotech scientist, and Tess, a PhD student in statistics.

Together, they talk about life in and around STEM - academia, industry, gender bias, nonlinear careers, friendships, injuries, and whatever else comes up. Sometimes thoughtful, sometimes unserious, often both.


New episodes when life allows (hopefully every Wednesdays).

    A solo mini episode while Tess is away at a conference and our pre-recorded episodes… vanished.

    A quick update, a little reflection, a bit of molecular cloning, and zero peer review.

    Regular episodes return soon.

    Tess is sick, Manpreet is deep in manuscript avoidance, and neither of us is emotionally prepared to be productive.

    We talk academic burnout, fake productivity, reality TV drama, bad audio feedback, and why tone is apparently a crime.


    This is Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense.

  • I Texted My Supervisor at 3AM!!!
    Apr 1 2026

    Tess recounts the chaos leading up to her PhD candidacy exam — from anxiety spirals and last-minute panic to passing with flying colours.

    We talk imposter syndrome, academia brain, AI study tools, workplace sexism, and the question: if money didn’t matter, would we still choose this life?

    This is Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense.

    Audio disclaimer: editing was attempted. Results unclear.
