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.
