What is the Life Beyond Ph.D. Series?
The Life Beyond Ph.D. Series showcases various STEM workforce careers and “N of 1” journeys. These fire-side style chats are intended to be informal and casual so that current graduate students (PhDs and Postdoctoral Trainees) can explore various careers, identify critical skills required to succeed and connect to the industries of their interest.
Format of the session:
- Speaker will share about their career journey (15-20 mins)
- Q&A from the audience (20-30 mins)
- Individual network (if there’s more time)
