Solo Session: PhD Iceberg Explained: The Challenges of the First PhD Draft!

Thank you for tuning in to PhD Lounge, you'll become a Doctor of Philosophy by immersing yourself into the latest topics of the PhD Universe

Students and Graduates!

This session of the PhD Iceberg Explained series entails the overall challenges of the first PhD draft, where I share some thoughts about what to consider to present your first written draft to your supervisor. Writing the first draft is not easy and it can be time consuming and overwhelming to leave good first impressions on paper when we start the PhD. Thank you all for tuning in, it's been a pleasure!

UPDATE!!: The PhD Lounge is now on Twitch and you watch my livestream sessions about my solo and late-night interviews talks. Being new to Twitch, I'm still playing around to make yourselves comfortable in hearing my voice and watching me speaking!
