Asking PhD students and postdocs questions people are afraid to ask

What is it really like to be a PhD student? Behind the publications, conferences, and lab work, there are many questions most people are afraid to ask — about stress, money, dating, and the future. In this video, I ask PhD students the real questions: Have you ever thought about quitting your PhD? Are you afraid to say no to your advisor? Does stress make you feel like you’re aging faster? How does a PhD affect dating and relationships? Are PhD students financially stressed? Do you worry about your career after graduation? If you’re a PhD student, thinking about grad school, or just curious about academic life, this video is for you. #PhDLife #GradSchool #PhDStudent #AcademicLife #GradSchoolStruggles #HuskyMind #StudentLife #ResearchLife #postdoc #Uconn
