    PhD Deep Dive #6: PhD Across Four Countries as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow with Jay

    In this episode of PhD Deep Dive, Greta chats with Mrutyunjaya Panda (aka Jay) about his journey from India to Europe — and the surprising differences in how science is practiced differently across continents. They unpack everything from academic culture shocks to what truly helps you grow as a researcher. From information overload to the myth of multitasking, this episode dives into strategies to think deeper and work smarter.

    PhD Deep Dive #5: Academia vs. Industry After a PhD with Marta and Diana

    In this episode of PhD Deep Dive, host Lan Vi sits down with Diana and Marta, two neuroscientists who began their academic journey together in the same lab in Madrid—but chose very different paths after completing their PhDs. Marta is currently pursuing her PhD in Switzerland, continuing her path in academia, while Diana made the leap into industry and now works as a Data Analyst. Together, they break down the key differences between these two worlds: from application processes, day-to-day responsibilities to how PhD-acquired skills transfer into each career. Whether you're navigating your final year of a PhD or wrestling with your next move, this episode is packed with practical advice, personal reflections, and insider tips—including how hiring decisions are made in industry, what life looks like in academia, and why it's important not to compare your path to others. Tune in for an honest, empowering conversation that will help you choose your next step with confidence!
