Many PhDs don't ask me what they need to do to succeed in their PhD. They ask if they should quit. Yesterday I shared what successful thought leaders have to say about quitting, and how to know when you should push through or pivot. Missed it? Read it here: andreaperino.com#newsletter

I wrote a Science paper on a topic - then doubted I was "expert enough" to give an interview about it with a Master’s student. 🤯 Why is it so hard to own our expertise? If you can relate, this newsletter issue is for you. Drops tomorrow andreaperino.kit.com/theinterface

April started with a highlight for me: My client is submitting her PhD this month! When we started, she was stuck - no structure, no motivation, no clear timeline. Now? She’s unstoppable. Here's her story 👇:

One thing I totally underestimated before starting my entrepreneur journey? The amount of cringe things I have to do to get my business going. Is this the „growth“ thing everyone is talking about? Or just me happily throwing out my dignity? 😅 I guess I’ll find out sooner or later..🧐

Not saying no often enough is one of the biggest reasons for overwhelm and lack of progress. But it's not always easy to tell if something is an opportunity or a distraction. Yesterday, the readers of my newsletter "The Interface" learned about an easy-to-follow framework to...👇

Unpopular opinion: Academia is obsessed with perfection—and it’s killing what science is really about: curiosity, exploration, and trial and error. There's a lack of safe spaces in academia. And that’s a problem. Not just for you, but for science itself.

As every year, women's day was a stark reminder of all the areas where the playing field is still rigged. Academia is no exception, and boy(s) that makes me angry.

The more I work with #PhD candidates the more I am convinced that the number 1 thing they lack to thrive is community.

„This wasn’t a course. It was a therapy session“, a participant said yesterday after my time management workshop for #PhD students 😍. PhDs don’t need a bazillion tools to „manage themselves“. A clear vision for their life and career, a bit of strategy and a supportive community, and they’re good!

For "luck to happen" you don't need a ton of preparation. Start to build, and do so in public and your "luck surface" might already grow a lot! I prepared a little and got very lucky this week. Want the whole story? Read it in my newsletter tomorrow: andreaperino.kit.com/theinterface

"I don't get enough career advice from my supervisor"... ...is a complaint I hear a lot of times when I talk to PhDs about their struggles. But when I ask if they have shared their career goals with their PI the answer is usually "no". So, here's the thing:

I’m in week 2 of the awesome course-building challenge by the even-awesomer @AmandaMGoetz and it is a great reminder that the "secret" to progress is pretty simple: ✨ define your goal ✨ break the work into tiny steps ✨ make progress visible by sharing it ✨ do it with others

Hey #PhDs, I have a question for you: Who do you think is the main responsible person when it comes to decisions about your PhD project? Is it you, your supervisor, or someone else?

My pony hardly ever does as he‘s told. But whatever he‘s up to, he looks happy doing it. There’s a lesson in that.

I didn't do a "take-a-break post" in a while, so here's your friendly reminder: The weekend is coming and you are allowed to rest. ✨ Even if you're swamped with work ✨ Even if you want to finish the PhD but you don't know how ✨ Even if you have a deadline coming up ✨ Even if it's just for a few hrs

Failure is not the opposite of success. It is data telling us what works and what doesn't. And the sooner and more often we gather this kind of data the faster we improve and eventually have success. Wanna know how to "fail productively"? I talk more about it in my newsletter tomorrow👇
