6.06 Changing Your Supervisor in the Middle of Your PhD PhD Pending

    • Education

In this episode, we chat with Marnina Winkler about her experience with changing her supervisor in the middle of her PhD research. We dive deeper into how her research took her on a path that was so different to her original proposal that it necessitated a move to a different department, how she managed the process, how it impacted her mental health, and what her project and life looks like now that she has a new supervisory team.
