Welcome to the ShaiPod, the podcast where we dive deep into the experiences of international students navigating their academic adventures in the U.S. Join us for candid conversations that explore the unique journeys of international students, uncover their challenges, mistakes, and the invaluable lessons they've learned along the way.

Each episode features an inspiring story, practical tips, and insights from students who have faced the highs and lows of studying abroad. From navigating good funding/scholarships and visa processes to adapting to new cultures, we cover it all!

These conversations, together with videos on my ShaiGuides channel, are designed to help you secure full funding/full scholarships and pass your visa interview without agents.

If you are ALREADY in the U.S. and looking for a full funded master’s in biology starting this Fall 2026, kindly reach out to me on Instagram or TikTok about your interest and current university in the U.S.

The university is in West Virginia and the lab is seeking 2 students with an interest in fish biology. Must have background in biological sciences. GRE is required. Deadline for application is March 31.

You can forward this to anyone already in the US with this qualification.

PS: the lab is labor-intensive, so the person must be ready to work.
