This is actually nothing like homeschooling. For the first episode in this special series--Life the University, and COVID-19--Kat welcomes Colette and Joel to the show to talk about their previous experiences being home-schooled. Colette Kelly is a marine biogeochemist and Joel Schneider studies chemical engineering, both currently PhD students.  We also grapple with themes of isolation and normalcy in the Coronavirus era, and reflect on how growing up in an insular, safe environment is nothing like trying to learn amidst a global pandemic in a hyper-connected world.

For our "Not Advice" segment, we answer, "What is un-schooling?"  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/luepodcast/support
