Happy New Year to all! Today, I wanted to share a few thoughts for those who will be working harder through the academic year, the PhDs. In less than 10 minutes, I summarise the main takeaways that I would give to any PhD student facing four years (or more) of research, writing, and conferencing. Let me hear your thoughts on the comments section below, by sharing your own PhD experience or addressing additional questions (if I have not covered those). Feel free to contact me on LinkedIn via DM, if you'd like to remain anonymous. It would be great to have enough questions/comments to prepare a follow-up video covering any additional worries. To learn more about Dr. Alba Ribera Martínez and her research, we invite you to visit her website: https://www.albariberamartinez.com.She also writes, from time to time, in her newsletter, the DMA Agora, about the latest developments surrounding the European regulation: https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7344021393451184128.
