#9 David Mendes

“Break the isolation to expand and broaden your horizon”

This time, we had the pleasure of talking with David Mendes, the host the Papa PhD Podcast, who holds a PhD in cell biology and spent more than 11 years in the medical communication and linguistic services industry. In his own podcast, David explores career and life balance for academic and graduate researchers.

In this episode, he shares what he has learnt exploring the different ways people have juggled professional and personal life after academia.

David has since started his own business offering language services in the biomedical domain and has recently co-founded PhDesign, a media agency dedicated exclusively to serving the research community and to bridging the gap between the lab and society.

Now a father of two, he is interested in exploring the different ways people have juggled professional and personal life after completing their graduate degree. This curiosity and a strong will to help those now going through graduate school is what led him to launch the Papa PhD podcast.
