A production of the Office of Research Development at Florida State University, Journeys in Research is a podcast that transcends disciplines and explores what unites research faculty. In each episode, we’ll hear from an FSU research faculty member about how their own research journeys brought them where they are today. The journey is the great equalizer. It requires the same things from all of us – time, sacrifice, flexibility, resiliency after failure, stamina after victory. So take this time to be encouraged, and leave motivated to pursue your own journeys in research.
