    Solo Session: PhD and Society

    Students and Graduates! Feeling “behind in life” while you’re deep in a PhD can hit hard, especially when friends seem to be racing through the traditional milestones: a car, a wedding, children, a house, a job title that looks neat on paper. If this resonates with you, then this late-night solo session is for you! I share with you the following: —> Why undertaking a PhD is personal rather than a fight against society—> Rejecting checklists and fixed timelines as a measure of worth—> Defining what “behind” means and normalising self-criticism—> Reframing: rest, recharge, and remember a PhD is a marathon Thank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure!

  6. Solo Session: How your Hobbies can help progress your PhD?

    Solo Session: How your Hobbies can help progress your PhD?

    Students and Graduates! Many PhD researchers treat hobbies as optional, a luxury to be postponed until after deadlines ease. The reality is the opposite: a modest, regular hobby can make the hard work of a doctorate more creative, sustainable, and social. In this solo session, I show why and how hobbies are significant for the progression of your PhD journey. I share the following three reasons: —> Balance; —> Social Skills; —> Reminisce lost joys. Whatever hobby you have that fulfil after hard days of research, the point is not to add pressure. It is to choose small, repeatable habits that return more energy than they cost. Thank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure!

    Solo Session: The Renaissance Bro Mindset For PhD Success

    Students and Graduates! What if the best model for a resilient, fulfilling PhD is older than the lab coat? Do you consider yourself as a Renaissance Scholar when you produce knowledge towards PhD success? In this Late-Night Solo Session, I combine the thoughts of current trend of the Renaissance Man or Woman as a useful frame to your PhD milestones through the following trifecta effect: —> Curiosity about new knowledge —> Proactivity in shaping your research and seek opportunities —> Harmony with yourself and by valuing your closest ones If this conversation helps you see your PhD with new clarity, share it with a fellow researcher so others can find PhD Lounge! What trait—curiosity, proactivity, or harmony—will you lean into this week? Thank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure! Bibliography: Heller, A. (1978). Renaissance Man.

    Solo Session: Engage Wider Audiences with your PhD

    Students and Graduates! PhD thesis don't leave the academic circle and are shared towards specialised audiences. But what if they can be presented to other type of audiences? In this late-night talk, I describe how you can share your research when following the code of plain and simple language, storytelling and strong hooks. Here's the breakdown: . Competitions like the 3 MT and Oak Ridge Laboratory: Your Research in a Nutshell. . Research Festivals, including keynotes, posters, and short talks. . Dance your Thesis and Bake your Thesis. . Casual chats with your PhD peers at pubs while holding pints. . Presenting your PhD dissertation at a live Stand-Up comedy show? With time and practice, people will understand your thesis, and you'll form an outreach that strengthens your thinking, delivery and impact. Your research is not a secret. It is a gift—one that grows when more people can hold it. Thank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure!
