In this episode, we are co-hosting with Mina (from season 1!) to interview George, her former mentor, who shares his unique PhD journey, which didn't go as planned, along with the lessons he learned during this challenging time, and how he continued to pursue an academic career, his growing passion, and his three postdocs.  You can follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thephdgrind_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Want to share your PhD journey or a story related to your studies?
