We recorded a Q&A episode a while back in the middle of the Fall semester, but only got to publishing it now as we slowed down to one episode every other week. In this episode, we give a general update on how our Fall semester is going so far, as well as what we currently are working on. 

In the next part of the episode, we discuss a few questions that came in. The first question is about the social media platforms we use for our research, and why. We discuss ResearchGate, LinkedIn, and Twitter for research. The second question is about how we switch tasks after lecturing, as we all know and experienced that lecturing is quite intensive. We also discuss there the various tasks that are involved with preparing teaching, and some digital tools one can incorporate.

We then dive into a question that could be an episode in itself: strategies for selecting the right journal or conference for your PhD results. We share our best practices here, but of course, please always discuss with your supervisor. Finally, we discuss how to select a PhD program, and certain differences internationally.
