This webinar sought to provide prospective and current PhD students with some nuggets of wisdom to guide them through their PhD. Key topics included juggling your PhD with other commitments/responsibilities, dealing with and overcoming the inevitable yet unanticipated setbacks you encounter, and some tips on how to go about your transition from PhD life to academia or industry. The aim was not to regurgitate information commonly taught by supervisors or in courses, but to provide some Easter (or NEST!) eggs from those who are still in or have recently left the PhD roost!
Following presentations from our 3 exceptional speakers, attendees had the opportunity to engage in a Q+A with the speakers.
