Welcome in to our first episode of the PhD Survival Guide! This episode is more of a prologue, so let's just call this episode 0. 

In this episode I introduce myself, Firas, a 5th year PhD student. There are many things that I wish I knew prior to becoming a PhD student that I think would've helped me immensely during the beginning of my career. As a new student, there are many anxieties and myths that we face when deciding to join a PhD. Is this right for me? Do I need a PhD to get to where I ultimately want to be? How long is this going to take me? I answer all of those questions and more! Hopefully this will give prospective students some insight when deciding what lab/program to join.
