Welcome to Spicy SEAP! This final episode of Season 11 is a special edition where we recreate the popular TV show 'Hot Ones', but with a twist—these aren't chicken wings, but spicy Southeast Asian food.

Francine is joined by Geronimo Cristobal and Eric Goh, PhD candidates and co-chairs of the SEAP Graduate Student Committee. She asks them about life as graduate students at Cornell, their academic interests, planning one of the world's most prestigious speaker series in Southeast Asian studies, and  more.
