24. Casual Conversations: Exploring non-academic paths in the PhD - With Dakota, PhD
<p>Welcome to the PhD Survival Guide Podcast! As we always say here on the podcast, every PhD journey is unique. I worked full-time in the laboratory and had the privilege of dedicating the majority of my time to my experiments. While I have talked in depth about the pros and cons of this, not all of you have the same experience. In this episode, I spoke to Dakota, a recent PhD graduate who juggled a full-time PhD with a full-time job outside of academia. We spoke about various topics, such as the challenges she faces, ways to expand on your research and experiences, and how to navigate non-academic careers during, and after, your PhD! As always, we hope you enjoy this episode!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Dakota:</strong></p> <p>Dakota is a recent PhD graduate who studied the experiences of Latino young adults using dating apps, their identity construction, partner preferences, and conceptions of happily ever after. She has six years of research experience in both the non-profit and tech sectors and currently works as a mixed methods User Researcher for a tech company. Dakota has previously worked at Facebook studying online connection and community in Facebook groups. In her past in non-profit research, she studied foster youth outcomes at the City University of New York (CUNY)’s Accelerated Studies in Associate’s Programs as well as social welfare intervention analysis for low-income Latino families at the National Hispanic Research Center. She earned her M.A. in Sociology and B.A. in American Studies from Columbia University and is a former Fulbright Spain grantee.

23. Casual Conversations: From diverse roots, to doctorate - Crossing academic origins - With Cristina, MPH and Sarah, BS
<p>Welcome to the PhD Survival Guide Podcast! In the recent past, some of you have reached out asking these key questions: Does it really make a big difference to have a Master's degree? Or does the research experience you completed in your Bachelor's degree really prepare you for the research burdens in a PhD? What if you don't have either of these things, will you be at a severe disadvantage? In this episode, we tackle the origin stories of Cristina (who has an MPH), Ferass (who has a BS with lab experience), and Sarah (who has a BS with no lab experience). We talked about how how our previous experiences before our PhDs may have impacted or prepared our journies throughout our degrees. As always, we hope you enjoy this episode!</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristina-m-andrade-feraud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Connect with Cristina on LinkedIn!</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-hardin-254103196/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn!</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fsammoura/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Connect with Ferass on LinkedIn!</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Want to be a guest or send me a voice message? <a href="https://linktr.ee/phdsg_pod">Check out our linktree!</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>If you enjoy this podcast and want to tune in as more episodes of the PhD Survival Guide come out, please leave the podcast a like or follow!
