Graduate school roundtable

I am a part of a blog roundtable on graduate school, chaired by my colleague Atif Kukaswadia on his blog: Mr Epidemiology. The first post introduced the panel. Today's post asks us why we decided on grad school. A series of questions will be answered by us throughout the month of November. If interested, you can subscribe to Atif's feed. The dates that particular questions with their answers will be posted are outlined at the bottom of the first post. This will be particularly useful for those of you undecided about whether to go to grad school or not, and those that have decided but are nervous/unsure of what to expect. Others may also find it entertaining. Enjoy!
