In today's episode, we address a number of questions that our listeners sent in through Twitter and other sources. Here's a list of topics we touched upon in this mixed mailbag episode:

  • our current work,
  • our summer goals, and how much of it we achieved,
  • our plans for the fall semester,
  • our potential plans for conference travel,
  • leaving industry to start working on research, and what that means in terms of salary,
  • a week in the life of PhD candidacy,
  • any preconceived ideas we had about the PhD or academia that turned out not to be true,
  • skills every PhD candidate should have, and
  • our favorite books read in 2021 so far

We are happy to receive your questions and answer these in a future Q&A episode!
