Welcome to Season 3 of the Papa PhD podcast! To start this new season, today I'm bringing you a great interview Dr. Mrim Boutla, a neuroplasticity PhD turned career coach, who was on the show in Season 2, but in French. Mrim has put a lot of thought into the conundrum that promoting career readiness is for PhD researchers and shared her reflections and some nuggets during our conversation. Stick around - I'm sure you'll enjoy her energy and her insights! 

At Brown University and at the Kelley School of Business (Indiana University), Mrim successfully coached hundreds of liberal arts graduates, MPAs, MBAs, and PhDs secure jobs that maximize impact and income.As a social entrepreneur, Mrim received the 2013 AshokaU/Cordes Prize for launching More Than Money Careers in partnership with Dr. Mark Albion (Faculty Founder of Net Impact).The MTMCareers software helped over 5,000 graduates get clear, get connected, and get hired for internships and jobs that blend financial rewards and social impact and environmental stewardship. Mrim serves as a startup mentor through I-Corps, HeraHub, NETVA, and AccelerateDC. Half-Swiss and half-Moroccan, Mrim was the first in her family to go to school beyond 9th grade. She started her journey in the US as an F-1 student and became an American citizen in 2015. Mrim earned BSc/MA in Psychology from UCLouvain, in Belgium, her MA and PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Rochester, and completed her neuroplasticity postdoctoral fellowship at Brown University. Beyond work, Mrim enjoys international travel and watching NBA games with her daughter.

Cette semaine sur Papa PhD, je t'apporte ma conversation avec Ilhame Ameqrane à propos de son expérience comme docteure en entreprise.
Durant notre conversation, on a parlé de comment mettre en valeur le doctorat dans le contexte d'un parcours professionnel atypique, des opportunités qu'offre un passage en PME après le doctorat et de la place que peuvent occuper les docteur.e.s en tant que managers au sein d'une entreprise et quelles compétences ils doivent aller chercher pour faciliter leur transition dans le milieu et dans la culture entrepreneuriale.
On a aussi parlé du MBA et des considérations qu’Ilhame a pris en compte pour choisir celui qu’elle fait en ce moment.
Après un doctorat en biologie et quelques années de post-doc, Ilhame a eu l'opportunité d'avoir une expérience dans le privé, au sein d'une PME en pleine croissance. Très vite promue à un poste de direction, elle a été amenée à travailler dans toutes les fonctions de la société : GRH, Management des Hommes, planification, Suivi/Prospection/réponse AO...
Les trois années passées dans cette entreprise lui ont permis, de façon assez contre-intuitive au départ, de mettre en pratique les compétences développées grâce au doctorat : persévérance, capacité d'analyse et d'adaptation, force de proposition, résolution de problèmes complexes, et bien d'autres !
Aujourd'hui, Ilhame formalise cette expérience au cours d'un MBA en Management et Administration des Entreprises à l'IAE de Paris, ce qui complètera un panel de connaissances qui enrichiront d'autant plus son parcours et son profil.

Revisiting the Humanities PhD in 2021 with Greg Kelly

Get the Papa PhD Tool kit !

This week on Papa PhD, I have the pleasure of bringing you my conversation with Greg Kelly, Executive producer of IDEAS, on CBC Radio.During our conversation, Greg shares a very colourful recount of his experience in Oxford as a literature PhD student and talks about his post-PhD career choices and journey.Greg is a great storyteller, so I think you’ll really enjoy this one!

Greg Kelly took his doctorate in literature at Oxford University.His work at CBC Radio and Television, as well as the United States and Europe, and won international awards and acclaim in both media.During our conversation, Greg shared his experience going through a humanities PhD in Oxford, UK, and contrasted the culture with the North-American system.We then talked about the day-to-day of being a graduate student in the Oxford collegiate system and about how important community is within the otherwise very solitary endeavor that is the PhD.Throughout our conversations, Greg shared a handful of illustrative stories, and in the last part of the interview, he recounted the moment when he realized the academic career was not his path and what led to his current position at Executive Producer of CBC Radio IDEAS.
Thank you, Greg Kelly!

Staying True to Your Life Plans During the PhD with Katya Park

Hi! This week, I have the great pleasure of bringing you a conversation about life balance in graduate school with Katya Park. During the interview, Katya shared how during her PhD and postdoc she made sure to stay true to her life plans, namely those related to building a family, while working towards her goals, scientifically, and about how she dealt with the pressures and fears young researchers who want to start a family still experience, today.
Katya did her PhD in molecular neuroscience at the University of Toronto, she defended when she was 7 months pregnant with her third son.
Her post-doc was in molecular mechanisms involved in traumatic brain injury, and then she was the director of the Neurovascular Research team at a private health clinic.
Wanting to get a broader picture of how things work, Katya left the lab and worked at the Ministry of Health.
She currently manages a team of researchers and evaluators at the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility. She misses science though and the conversations involved, so she and her husband (also a neuroscientist) have started their own scientific consulting company.
Thank you, Katya Park!

Les perles de sagesse de Pierre-Henri :
« De mon point de vue de psychologue, il y a tout un travail à faire auprès des étudiants de repérage de ce qui sonne juste pour eux, mais au niveau corporel – pas dans la tête. Sauf que parfois, en tant que doctorant, on est un peu dissocié, on dirait en hypnose. On est plus dans la tête que dans le corps, donc ça peut être vire piégeant d'écouter davantage sa pensée et son intellect que son corps. Et donc, je rejois tout à fait ton message de prévention – chers auditeurs, écoutez votre intuition, ce que vous ressentez et généralement, ça vous guide, en fait. »
« Le stress est utile, donc il faut plutôt le filtrer et dialoguer avec lui, et trouver la juste distance entre ce qui est négatif de ce stress-là. On exorcise le côté négatif et on endorcise le côté ressource, sécurisant, positif. Mais l'astuce, c'est vraiment d'être dans le corps, dans la sensation, dans l'exception du corps qui ressent la sécurité. »

Katie's pearls of wisdom:
“I had a lot of grief and resentment towards my PhD, and I've most recently just even gotten over it, now. It's taken therapy and a lot of self-reflection, and a lot of realizing that I did learn really valuable skills that just in academia aren't highlighted as much. Right? I have published papers, I have grants to my name... People where I work now don't care. But I'm really resourceful. If you need something figured out, I know how to do the research, to figure out what the best way to do it is. You need me to jump in somewhere. I mean, I did a lot of field work in remote locations where I had no Internet access, very little contact with my mentors or  anyone outside of where I was located. So I had to McGyver or a lot of stuff. All these different skills, writing, editing, research, networking, collaboration, thinking on your feet. Those are all skills that you've learned, that you kind of underplay in academia, because it doesn't necessarily... you know, it's not your research record.”“One of the things that was tough for me to do, that I wish I would have started doing in grad school was putting together a portfolio of syllabi I had created, any  guest lectures, any outreach lectures that I had done, maybe to K12 or up to undergrad classes. At a lot of places, at least in what I do, they want a portfolio – "What content have you created? - Well, I've published papers" – that's not what they want.”“Because I always liked teaching, I did seek out extra teaching opportunities and curriculum development opportunities as a PhD – that all counts as professional experience. I was in charge of developing a curriculum, four courses, as a PhD student. On my CV or on my resume, I can write: I have curriculum development experience and I've been doing it for the last five years. Was my job title learning experience designer, like it is now? No, but that's exactly what I was doing in that role. So many of the other tasks that we do have resume line items that are a big deal, and really valuable in the corporate world.”Katie Wedemeyer-Strombel loves to spend time outdoors with her husband and dog and believes t...
