PhD Advice

Here you will find some information and advice on the PhD journey in the US and how to be an efficient scientist based on my personal experience.

I enjoyed every bit of it, because I was efficient, focused and socially connected. While there is no 'one-size-fits-all', I share what worked for me hoping some or all of it works for you.

What to consider when deciding if pursuing a PhD is for you, and the process to follow if you decide to go for it.
