PODCAST - When IT Hits the Fan: Kathleen Mazza

“I have a PhD in Biomedical Informatics, and I still sometimes think I don’t know computers.”

                                                                                      — Dr. Kathleen Mazza

Dr. Kathleen Mazza reminds us: Imposter syndrome doesn't mean you’re not qualified. It means you’re human.
