"My PhD prepared me for the science. It didn't prepare me for the system."

Getting your PhD might be the end of grad school, but it's only the beginning of your career. The transition from the structured world of academia to the fast-paced reality of industry can leave even the most accomplished PhDs feeling lost.

In this episode, I interview with Sherine Cheung, bioengineering PhD scientist and founder of Elevate PhD, about:

• understanding the core differences and values between academia and industries
• learning how to navigate the operational and strategic demands of a corporate environment
• the importance of self-advocacy and advancing career development
