Defusing Stereotypes About the PhD Outside Academia With Fiona Robinson (Rerun)

3/7/2024
In this treasure from the Papa PhD vault, I bring you my Season 1 conversation with Fiona Robinson. During our conversation, Fiona shares her insights on pushing through in graduate school and in life, and on her take on finding a fulfilling professional life outside of academia. Following a PhD in RNA Biochemistry at Cambridge University and a post-doc in developmental neurobiology/oncology at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, Fiona moved to Montréal and shifted careers into science communication/medical education. Currently she is a freelance medical editor, a lead volunteer in the local women's hockey community, and half an IronMan! As medical editor, Fiona is responsible for the creation, editing, production, and publication of educational materials for different organizations in the global bleeding disorders community. She conducts needs assessments to understand what resources are most needed and then works with volunteer subject matter experts from around the world and local freelancers to create the content, which she then edits and sees through production. Managing budgets and timelines, volunteers and contractors, and diverse cultural and socioeconomic contexts requires many of the "soft skills" that she developed working in research and, just as importantly, exploring non-research interests during her time in academia. What we covered in the interview: The value of finding your passion to instruct your career searchHow nurturing a rich life outside research can open doors for you later onDealing with the uncertainty of the non-academic job marketDefusing the socially awkward/standoffish academic stereotypeThe importance of tailoring your CV and of tailor-writing your cover letters to each potential employer and positionLooking around and keeping a job posting scrap-book as a way of identifying potentially fulfilling careers Leave a review on Podchaser !

Rerun – Unlocking Your Thesis Writing Super Powers with Martha Boeglin

12/28/2023
Do you struggle to sit down and write your thesis? Is the process painful to you?Then join me in one of the most listened episodes of last season with a specialist, a "thesis whisperer" of sorts - Martha Boeglin of Scriptoria.During my conversation with Martha, we discuss this inevitable, yet often gruesome task that is thesis writing, and Martha shares her know-how and a number of techniques and strategies to make the exercise a pleasant and successful one. When she wanted to write her thesis in Philosophy, Martha Boeglin was paralyzed for many months by the fear of the blank page.When she eventually understood that the fear of the blank page is normal, that almost every researcher is concerned by writer’s block… ant that writing problems are tabou at university, she started to investigate the phenomenon of writing.One discovery changed her life: writer’s block belongs to the writing process – and there are lots of creative writing techniques to overcome them.More: some writing techniques hold an almost magical power.Why are they not taught at university ?Her passion for writing techniques was born. With a double consequence: first, once she overcame that initial writer’s block, she was able to write her thesis – and worte it in a wave of euphoria.Second, once she got her Dr. Titel, she created Scriptoria, the writing workshops for PhD students in 2002.Its goal? To make writing a thesis easier: when you know the right techniques, writing is no longer a chore - it can even become a source of joy. Thank you, Martha Boeglin !

What is the Impact of AI on Higher Education? With Tim Dasey

12/7/2023
This week on Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD we will be discussing "What is the Impact of AI on Higher Education?" with Tim Dasey, author of the book "Wisdom Factories: AI, Games, and the Education of a Modern Worker". Dr. Tim Dasey has a long history in AI and learning science, and recently published the book “Wisdom Factories: AI, Games, and the Education of a Modern Worker.” After thirty years at MIT leading AI development for diverse government needs, Tim leapt into education due to concern that minds won’t be ready for the jobs that remain human. He has a smidge of teaching experience at corporate, higher ed, and K-12 levels. Dr. Dasey has atypical perspectives on the future of schooling built from a blend of AI expertise, experience with many industries, depth in the science of learning and judgment, and more than a decade leading development of game-based learning tools. What we covered in the interview: The role of AI in managing tasks and abstracting information: AI and other technologies are revolutionizing the way we work, freeing up our time for more strategic thinking and decision-making. Discover how AI can translate and generate content, reducing labor-intensive tasks.The challenges and opportunities in evaluating AI-generated scientific papers: Join us as we discuss the impact of AI on the peer review process and how institutions like MIT are handling the authenticity and quality of AI-generated research.Nurturing human capabilities alongside AI: Learn about the importance of self-awareness, interdisciplinary approaches, and human collaboration skills in an era of AI.
