From the Data Science panel: ringing endorsement of the Insight Data Science Fellows Program as a way to transition from academia to data science. @InsightFellows #phdpathways #careereducation #datascience

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

Also important: communications skills, not only as a speaker, but also as a listener!

@danielleharlan Thanks for* :)

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

@danielleharlan Thanks got starting us out on such a great foot! And what an inspiring trajectory!

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

Wisdom from the Communications, Writing, & Editing panel: “Most of us have imposter syndrome. Never look at a job and say, ‘Oh I could never do that.’ “ #phdpathways #careereducation

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

More insight from #phdpathways: remember to take advantage of Stanford’s resources and network while you’re here!

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

Insight from the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, & Museums panel: self-reflection about your goals and passions during the PhD can be difficult, but is crucial to finding career fulfillment. #phdpathways

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

@danielleharlan kicking off PhD Pathways with a fantastic keynote speech!

Terrific tips for organizing Information and Your Time during the job search. My faves: batch your time to keep from switching gears too often, and Keep track of how you spend time and reassess periodically. From @bookmobility via @insidehighered

Perceptions need to shift from "PhD = knows a lot about one thing" to "PhD = committed to life-long learning." Employers often overlook the fact #PhDs are usually dedicated to learning all sorts of new things - & learning fast!

Let’s make diverse careers for PhDs Visible, Valued and Viable.

So proud to be part of the team with @ERMillerPhD & @SciPolGuy through @AAUniversities and with support of my employer @StanfordBEAM

Phone interview tip. Put post it notes with key ideas you want to convey on the wall. And notes to yourself like “Slow Down!” Standing while talking gives you more energy and allows you to gesture.

Here it is in action!

[PhD Pathways @PhDPathways]

Another productive meeting yesterday as the clock keeps ticking down to PhD Pathways 2019!

[L. Maren Wood, PhD @drmarenw]

You are NOT ALONE in the things that you feel - with regard to grad school, your PhD, your career prospects, or your confusion over what to do next. The PhD can be so isolating - life after it does NOT have to be that way.

“You never know what skills you will leverage later in your career.” “There are very interesting people doing very interesting work.” Said a European Historian now working in banking. Eyes & minds blown open.

This is what I love about @BeyondAcademia @PhDPathways #BeyondAc19
