Hey everyone! My name is Firas and I am super excited to announce the PhD Survival Guide Podcast! If you are interested in pursuing a PhD or are a current student, this podcast will be very helpful for you! I hope you all enjoy the podcast! Are you a first year PhD student trying to figure out how to navigate grad life? Or maybe you're a fifth year looking for the motivation to write out the last chapter of your dissertation? Regardless of where you are or where you want to be, this is the podcast that talks all things grad school! The purpose of this podcast is to highlight some of the things that I, and others, wish they knew prior to starting their grad school journey. We will be covering a multitude of topics such as mental health, good practices, how to ace your first seminar, and much much more!
