PhD students: how to survive through 2021? Learn to flatten your own mental health curve so that you can make it on the long run
I'm busy with my main job, doing extra teaching and trying to keep a healthy private life, all of which doesn't leave me much time for this blog! Sorry and enjoy the old posts :)
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Pauline, on this blog I share information and tips for Early Career Researchers. I completed my PhD in Switzerland, to know more about me, have a look at the About page 😃 🇨🇭🧠🔬🎓
I am writing about #soft skills (transferable skills), #career and #mental health. More about that in my first blog post: How a doctoral program saved my PhD.
I like summarizing and organizing information, make sure to have a look at my resources. Especially if you're in Switzerland, check out all my articles about #career like this one: Career Services for PhDs in Swiss Universities and HE 🇨🇭
I've also been writing about project management applied to academia, here my resource providing an overview of different tools available.
