How I got over 2 failed pregnancies during my PhD
2024 has got a tough start: I just lost my first pregnancy by the end of 2023, tried again and lost another one shortly after that, right in the middle of Jan 2024. But all the losses have not been in vein, I guess, because in weathering through it all, both my life and my…

How a non-academic get a funded PhD offer – Your application (Part 2)

How a non-academic get a funded PhD offer – Your application (Part 1)
It took me a year and a half to finish this piece of writing because it’s not a straightforward topic and my capacity to gather objective evidence is limited.
