She shares her journey from completing a master's in forensic science and anthropology, navigating the challenges of self-doubt, and ultimately pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming a vet. Tune in to hear how she transitioned from academia to veterinary school and how quitting her PhD became the best decision she ever made. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Ep 91: PhD Red Flags

Stupid Genius the PhD podcast jumps into all things PhD life. Hosts Emily Wharton and Mollie Bryde discuss the highs and lows of doctoral study from being proud of your PhD successes to managing conflict with your supervisors and everything in between. Emily and Mollie share their experiences of being PhD students and the lessons they have learned along the way to help make your PhD journey that bit easier. Expect lots of laughs, an abundance of stupidity, and occasionally, a moment of genius.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
