Invited talk

Optimising your PhD and postdoc life: not an easy task!
Maria Garcia de la Banda, Monash University
Abstract: PhD life is a pretty intense part of our lives, particularly when nearing the end. It usually leaves very little time to think about anything else. And yet, it is just the first step into a long-term career, one that requires plenty of thought and a bit of strategic action. The aim of this talk it to make PhD students think a bit about what they want from their career (not just their PhD) and give them some advice regarding the kind of actions they need to take if they want to get there.
