@RoshniRaoPhD Hi, Roshni, this is Dinghong (Catherine), a biologist postdoc at UCSD. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and great suggestions about career planning and job search strategies for international PhDs.
A PhD is about learning how to learn. The research you want to be doing 20 years from now probably doesnβt even exist yet, so what you really need to gain in grad school is the ability to dive into a new area, learn, and develop mastery.#PhDchat
When someone gives us critical feedback, it hurts because it feels like our shortfall has cost us their respect. But, their respect for us will actually be determined by our response. When we use the feedback to grow and improve, we end up with even more respect than before.
