When Derrick's hope of attending medical school is shattered by rejection, he lends himself to self-reflection, discovers his purpose, and soon finds himself on a journey to obtaining a Ph.D. in Food Science at Texas A&M University. In this episode, we talk about diligence, hard work, the importance of having fun in grad school, and networking.
 We also talk about steps to consider when choosing an academic program, obtaining a Ph.D. without a master's degree, and many more!!
 
 I hope you enjoy this episode.
