A website for PostDocs and PhDs
Posted by PostPostDoc on March 8th, 2013
After a life in science, some of those years getting paid, some of those years not, I decided to set up a website to help PhDs and PostDocs with decisions on what to do next with short shorties of people that have or are going through similar experiences. I also hope to help share a few tips and advice for life in the lab and how to make your work day a little easier! If you are interested please have a look at my website

PhD Movie
Posted by Eva Amsen on September 26th, 2011
Whether you’re familiar with the web comic or not, most of you will probably recognize your own current or past career as a graduate student in the new PHD Comics movie.
It’s playing at university campuses across the world. If your city is not on the list, don’t fret: the website contains information on how to organise a screening at your own institute. Now if someone in Cambridge would like to host a screening, I’ll be there!
(See last year’s interview with Jorge Cham on the Node.)
