All right, we're back in plenary sessions, joined by the one and only Dr. Benai Prasad,

Associate Professor and Hematologist Oncologist at the University of California, San Francisco,

author of two books. If you haven't read them, you should check them out,

any medical reversal, malignant, and your very own host of the Plenary Session podcast.

But today, you can probably tell things are different.

This is a reverse host session.

My name is Christina Deney.

I'm a, as my Twitter profile says, a recovering shift nurse turned health policy researcher

and collaborator in the Prasad's lab.

So welcome to your podcast, and I.

Oh, thanks.

The tables have turned.

And now I think are you only the second person to be the guest host?

No, third person after Timothy and Chris.

Third.

Well, Timothy and didn't Audrey also interview you for medicine?

She did, but I don't think she ever took the helms of the host.

I think Chris did and Timothy did. So now it's your turn. Oh, and Logan did as well. Oh, Logan did. Okay.

So, so forward, forth. Yeah, because I had to study those in order to pull up this. Oh, boy.

So I've, I've strong-armed the night today. I've strong-armed you to dish all the trade secrets. So today we're going to be talking about academia.

We're going to be talking about the things that nobody wants to talk about.

Should you go to conferences? Should you publish? How do you publish?
