It can be difficult projecting yourself into the future and setting goals when you are fully invested physically and emotionally with your PhD. Overwhelm and overwork are terms that come up frequently in conversation with PhD researchers, independently of their domain of research.
In this Papa PhD interview, I talk with career coach Kimberly Duong about her post-PhD experience and about her approach to helping academics successfully navigating their PhD journey.
Listen to the end and you will learn an exercise Kimberly uses with her coachees to help them set long-term goals for themselves!

In this new PhD Dojo episode, Gad Sabbatier and I answer another tough question by a 2nd Lab mentee: "Since I'm in the middle of my PhD, what should I focus more to increase my chance of finding a relevant job in a company? Should I focus on increasing the number of publications or other factors are more important?"
Preparing and prioritizing can be huge challenges when you are body and soul engrossed in your PhD project, so this is a crucial question, which Gad and try to answer to based on our combined experiences.
If, like me, you like podcasts, I’m sure you’re always looking for what to add to your playlist.
Well, if you’re into health and genetics, this week I have a nugget for you: three-time People’s Choice Podcast Award winner in Science and Medicine - DNA Today.
DNA Today is produced by past guest and friend of the show - Kira Dineen (See episode 172 – Applying to Grad School in 2022).
What I love about the show is that whether the conversation revolves around the human experience of dealing with genetic diseases or around the research and innovation going on in the field, Kira’s experience as a practicing genetic counselor and her scientific-minded curiosity set the tone and keep it interesting. Having a background in genetics myself and being of mixed descent, I particularly enjoyed episodes about diversity in genome research, but also about CRISPR and about mitochondrial diseases. But there is so much more!
Find "DNA Today" on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts!

This week, on the first Papa PhD episode of 2023, I am bringing you an incredibly insightful conversation about the impostor phenomenon in academia and beyond with Marc Reid, PhD, author of You Are Not a Fraud - A Scientist's Guide to the Imposter Phenomenon.
Imposter feelings are ubiquitous in graduate school and throughout your career, especially after pivots into a new position or a new space.
Marc has put a lot of thought into this question and was generous enough to come on the show to share his experience dealing with imposter feelings and what drove him to write a book on the subject.
A great way to start the year for me and, I hope, for you, too.

Marc’s independent academic career has been fuelled by prestigious Leverhulme Trust and UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships. He has held lecturing positions at the University of Bristol and the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship. In 2021, Marc completed the altMBA.
His research interests include physical organic chemistry, computer vision, virtual reality, process safety, and the Imposter Phenomenon.
He lives with his wife, two kids, and border terrier in 'sunny' Glasgow.
