Who is your academic hero?

In this week’s Meet the PhDs newsletter, I reflect on the experience of admiring the people whose work has influenced our research.

They remind us why we chose this path in the first place!

A PhD is never just about the title or the degree.
It’s about the people we meet along the way - the conversations, the resilience, the support.

This week’s newsletter is about that: our own little moon walk through academia. 🌙

Waiting.

It’s one of the least talked-about parts of doing a PhD - yet it’s something we all know too well!

Waiting for a response, waiting for feedback, waiting for results, waiting for opportunities…and somehow still hanging on.
