Here's a reminder on #InternationalCoffeeDay: It's OK to take a (coffee) break. ☕
"It’s ... helpful to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life as a grad student," a #PhD student wrote in this 2019 #ScienceWorkingLife. scim.ag/48ID7uR

Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day!
Today’s date is made of 3 perfect squares and they form a Pythagorean triple: 3² + 4² = 5²
This only happens once a century.

Starting with a visit to London in 2023, Cibrán began a deep dive on defects in pnictogen chalcohalides (BiChX), finding the chalcogen vacancy to dominate recombination (similar to Sb2Se3!).
He shows that selective anion substitutions can mitigate their effect!

PhD is NOT about courses.
It’s about your development in research environment.
This is why your PhD advisor is key to it.
BUT how to choose the right advisor?
How not to get into trouble?
I thoroughly discuss various aspects of PhD advisor selection in a new podcast episode.
Even if you don’t have a choice (only one offer from one lab), you can still understand a lot more about your advisor and the group by asking the right questions and properly exploring the lab.
📍 Topics covered:
The Big Picture:
- What is a PhD and why advisors are so important
- Importance of mentorship
- Why good advisors are not easy to find
How to choose an advisor:
- Research topic
- Supervision vs Working Alone
- Mentorship
- Publications
- Personality of a PhD advisor
How to INTERVIEW your advisor:
- How do you supervise research?
- How do you mentor students?
- What is the role of students in collaborations?
- How do your students develop independence?
- How many conferences your students attend?
- How do you prepare publications?
- Will you be at this place for the next 5 years?
- What is an ideal PhD student for you?
- How do you see your lab development?
- What is the teaching load?
- What resources will be available to me?
- Will the budget be available for the entire PhD?
- What is the expected workload?
- Tweak your questions to your needs.
+ Extra steps to check for red flags:
It is for all students aspiring to become PhDs.
