Episode 10: What Colour is Your Parachute with TMU Alum Andrew Harris

Today’s guest, is Toronto Metropolitan University alum Andrew Harris. Andrew completed his BSc with Honours in medical physics in 2016. During his undergraduate degree and following graduation, he worked in research labs at TMU in the Department of physics and chemistry, and Sunnybrook Hospital, largely assisting with computer programming. He has also engaged in research at Western University in the department of Medical Biophysics. His current role is in the audio-visual industry as a freelance technical director for the ROM and History, Toronto's newest music venue. Andrew walks us through his journey as a mature student in the sciences, taking the MCAT just for fun, and how sometimes the person who gave you the task doesn't even know what the purpose of the task is.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
