PhDs for Dummies

Sam van Schaik

9 Episodes

Are you wondering what PhD students research? Are you curious how academia works, or do you want to figure out how to stay motivated during your PhD? If the answer to one of these questions is ‘Yes!”, this is the right place for you. In this podcast, Sam learns from PhD students or alumni, who explain their research and experiences in an approachable way. He talks with bioengineers, historians, and political scientists (and more) and hence, a lot of different research topics will be covered. The podcast aims to bridge the gap of accessibility between academia and the outside world.
