Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset.
It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills.
This is why PhD in STEM:
- is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it)
- is NOT about finish your advisor’s project
- is NOT about attending new courses
- is NOT to learn how to use cool instruments (although it might be handy, it is of little help in a long run)
Yes, some of it will help you get hired. BUT PhD should not be about this.
▫️
PhD is about personal development, creativity and problem solving in a highly dynamic research environment.
First of all, it is about:
- Becoming a highly critical and creative thinker
- Learning how to think independently (against the local or global mainstream)
- Learning how to “jump-start” a project and bring it to perfection
- Discovering your strengths and weaknesses as a future leader
- Learning from massive number of mistakes without big consequences
- Learning how to accept failures and move on
- Understanding the value of teamwork and collaboration
- Publishing important studies and making discoveries (especially if you plan to stay in academia)
▫️
Of course, there are some “perks” that come with it:
1. Getting a good expertise in some field
2. Getting some idea about the world of academia and how things work there
3. Learning how to use fancy tools (microscopes, spectrometers, etc)
4. Learning how to write papers, etc etc
But these are only bonuses. They should not be why you are pursuing PhD.
▫️
As a prospective PhD student, do NOT look for a supervisor who will be simply assigning tasks to you and tracking your project.
Look for a good mentor and advisor who can help you develop YOUR leadership skills.
A proper research environment and inspiration to pursue your dreams are the key ingredients.

@CancerandBone @ReaganLab4 Big shout-out to the organizers of #CABS2023. I can’t imagine a conference being any better. What a confluence of high quality scientific contributions! The best thing I took away were all the newly made connections with like-minded researchers!
We are wrapping up #CABS2023 this morning with talks on cellular profiling, plenary presentations, and a clinical panel! Thanks to @ReaganLab4 for helping us get a group photo!
Looking forward to see all the talks at the #cancerandbonesociety conference in Saint Louis, MO. The organizers did an amazing job to facilitate exchange, starting with a networking dinner and every morning there is a networking breakfast.

Spent three days at Innsbruck at the perfectly organized #bmt2022 conference where I gave one talk and presented one poster. The week culminated in winning the Start-Up Pitch competition where I was awarded a free consultation sponsored by the DGMT in VDE.

It’s out https://t.co/eLc6EVZbqD. The first experiments gave me quite some headache because the barium titanate nanocomposites were so strongly X-Ray absorbing, making it really difficult to detect the formed mineral. Lot’s of expertise from the @eth_bone group was needed.
Wishing all @ETH_en students the very best as they start their session exams today. Throw light on what you know, demonstrate your ability to bridge learning, understanding, analysing & creating. And while doing so, look after yourself & others. @vseth @AV_ETH
@jboerckel There are no failures - just learnings towards exeperience. As we all know, experience is when you get what you did not want. Success is when you leverage your experience into a meaningful and impactful outcome of your work.
