Master's at Oxford

How to get there, and how to survive

Hi all, some time ago I spoke to Shivanki Sahay, an Oxford-trained radiobiologist who is currently working at the Institute of Cancer Research in London.

Shivanki was kind enough to share her journey to Oxford, details about her applications and experience once she was there.

This podcast is brought to you by Litmaps - an easy-to-use, comprehensive literature review tool that helps researchers of all backgrounds find and manage papers better.

I’ve been using their tool for months now, and I love being able to get a quick overview of a specialized field in a highly visual map that takes 10 seconds to create.

Enjoy the episode.
