Join the Beyond the Thesis Skool community! Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD! I took some time in the middle of my family vacations to record a very short minisode and send you my 2025 wishes of a year full of enriching conversations!Listen through and you will also find a great reading recommendation for this coming year and a call for listener 2025 wishes! Episode Transcript Welcome to Beyond the Thesis with Papa PhD, the podcast that delves into the diverse and impactful roles scientists can play beyond the lab. With me, David Mendes. Hi. David Mendes here and I hope you've had a great holiday break and that 2025 is starting, in the best way possible for you. I've been on break with my family. My kids are still on vacation and so I'm taking a little time to say hi, to wish you a happy 2025 full of the best projects, full of the best results and also to share my wish for you for this coming year. I myself am betting heavily this year on really investing in networking, in meeting and talking with more people outside my, let's say, my comfort zone, outside my immediate circle, and I really, really hope that you can do the same. It's really easy to go through a year so fast and talk to the same, you know, dozen people who are around us in the lab. But it is really, really important for you who are a burgeoning scientist, a burgeoning researcher to expand your network. And meaning also, not only to expand your network in your domain, but to expand the the diversity that exists in your network. Meet people from government, you know, from policy, meet people from industry, get to know how they got the job they got, get to know how you can contribute. It's gonna be more and more important for you to be able to know what's happening outside the walls of university because those places are probably where you are going to eventually land professionally and you really want to land there knowing the terrain or at least having some knowledge of the terrain already. And there's no better way of doing it than talking with people who are who are there, who've been there 5 years, 10 years, who have the same or or whoever Jason, Jason profiles to yours scientifically and to hear their stories of how they got there. I am going to I'm not at the same stage buying, but I'm going to try and do the same, with the podcast, for example, And I I really, really wish for you that this year that's that's starting is gonna be filled with surprising, interesting, enriching, and real and human conversations that will lead you to have a better and better grasp on what is out there professionally for you, but more importantly, where you feel that you are going to fit once you get your degree or or where you're going to fit once you you, you know, finish whichever professional pivot you are in right now. For me, one of the ways I'm going to do this is to get closer to you, the listener. And the first way that I'm doing this, I've just created at the end of last year, a community on Skool.com. It's easy to find. You go to skool.com/paphpd and the community is there. It's a burgeoning, small community of people like you trying to figure out their, you know, the next chapter for their career, be it because they're finishing a degree or because they're pivoting after a first or second job after their their degree. But like I said, my goal with the community is to be able to talk directly with you, and that's why one of the things I do on school is to have regular live sessions, each week, 3 times a week. So you you get to talk directly with me, with other people if they're there too, but you get direct access to me. But also, the other thing that I'm doing there is I'm creating some free courses that I'm publishing there and there only, plus the community is going to have priority in accessing other training or mentoring that I am going to be rolling out this yea...

Bienvenue à ce nouvel épisode d'Au-delà de la thèse avec Papa PhD ! Dans cet épisode, je reçois pour une deuxième fois Mathilde Maillard, qui partage avec nous son parcours post-doctoral et ses réflexions sur son passage dans le secteur privé après le doctorat, puis sur son retour à la recherche dans le public. Ensemble, nous abordons l'importance de l'introspection pour orienter sa carrière et l'influence cruciale des réseaux sociaux et des mentors bienveillants.Nous discutons aussi des défis que représente la conciliation de la vie personnelle et professionnelle, de l'entrepreneuriat parallèlement à une carrière académique, et de la valeur d'un environnement de travail humain et soutenant. Une conversation enrichissante si tu te demandes "que faire après la thèse?".Alors, joins-toi à nous et allons au-delà de la thèse avec Mathilde Maillard! Mathilde Maillard est docteure en sciences des matériaux pour la santé depuis avril 2022. Mathilde est également la fondatrice de la microentreprise Bien Dans Ma Thèse, dont l’objectif est de valoriser le doctorat et d’informer sur cette étape académique souvent méconnue.Côté parcours scientifique, Mathilde a travaillé entre la Suisse et la France, débutant à l’École des Sciences Criminelles de Lausanne, puis poursuivant à Bordeaux pour une licence en chimie des matériaux. Ensuite, direction Paris pour un master en ingénierie de la santé, et enfin Lyon, où elle a complété sa thèse de doctorat.Son parcours pluridisciplinaire en matériaux pour la santé est particulièrement axé sur la mise en forme de ces matériaux par fabrication additive, allant des hydrogels aux céramiques. Ses recherches se concentrent sur l'interaction entre les matériaux et la biologie, ainsi que sur les propriétés mécaniques de ces matériaux. Points à retenir : 🔑 Recherche académique vs privé : L'importance de la recherche fondamentale dans les universités, nécessaire car le privé ne peut pas toujours supporter des recherches à long terme. 🔑 Prise en main de sa carrière : L'importance de décider activement de son parcours professionnel plutôt que de se laisser guider passivement. 🔑 Transition et adaptation : Mathilde a partagé comment sa présence active sur les réseaux sociaux lui a permis de saisir des opportunités dans le privé, tout en soulignant les défis rencontrés durant la transition.

Dans cet épisode spécial, le 300e depuis le lancement de Papa PhD, je reçois Boucar Diouf, scientifique et communicateur hors pair, pour une discussion inspirante et enrichissante. Au fil de notre conversation, Boucar a partagé avec moi son parcours unique de l'océanographie à l'humour, ainsi que son point de vue sur l'importance de suivre sa passion pour la science au-delà des cadres académiques. Dans cette entrevue, tu découvriras comment il a intégré l'humour à la science, d'abord pour enseigner, puis pour promouvoir le dialogue interculturel. Tout au long de notre échange, Boucar offre des conseils précieux pour les jeunes scientifiques, soulignant l'importance de la curiosité multidirectionnelle et de la personnalité, et évoque la sagesse des anciennes générations dans la compréhension de notre lien avec la nature, mais aussi dans le contexte des défis personnels et professionnels. Il a aussi partagé son expérience d'immigration pour le doctorat et les défis de l'adaptation culturelle, tout en mentionnant que c'est la première étape du doctorat, et non la moins importante, pour bien des doctorant·e·s. Prêt à être inspiré·e ? Rejoins-nous pour plonger au-delà de la thèse avec Boucar Diouf ! Boucar Diouf est un scientifique et un communicateur dont la carrière unique mêle humour, science, culture et réflexion sociale. Né au Sénégal, où il a étudié la biologie végétale, Boucar est arrivé au Québec en 1991, où il a obtenu un doctorat en océanographie à l'Université du Québec à Rimouski.Son parcours académique nourrit son style unique, qui allie habilement concepts scientifiques complexes et situations du quotidien. Que ce soit sur scène, dans les médias ou par ses écrits, Boucar Diouf utilise l’humour pour encourager le dialogue, bâtir des ponts entre les cultures et cultiver une plus grande appréciation à la fois de la science et de la diversité humaine.Aujourd'hui, j'ai l'énorme plaisir de l'accueillir pour, avec lui, revisiter son passage au doctorat et sa métamorphose d'océanographe en raconteur de la science, de la société et de la nature humaine.. Points à retenir : 🔑 Suivre ses passions pour une carrière épanouie : Boucar Diouf met en avant l’importance de découvrir ce qui vous passionne vraiment dans vos recherches et activités académiques.
