Welcome to Harkness Reflections; a series of podcasts from the Harkness Fellows Association. In Series 1, more recent Fellows engage in conversation with earlier Fellows about the impact of the fellowships on their career. Each podcast is very different in style, but all participants are sharing insights, challenges, and lessons learned from their fellowship experience and beyond.
