A PhD program is a long and often lonely journey. It is a marathon toward a self-defined goal, requiring flexibility, perseverance, and steady progress. When you feel discouraged or your mental health is at risk, it is your connections with others that will help you. A good relationship with your mentor (supervisor) is your lifeline, and friends and peers are what keep you going.
“PhD How-To Guide” is a video series dedicated to all students taking on the challenge of a PhD program.

“I’m not interested in someone who just wants to walk me through the rules … because this is what people have done before.”
