By: Arunodoy Sur, PhD

3 Reasons Why Academia Causes Talented PhDs Stress, Anxiety, And Depression

By: Jackie Johnson, PhD

Why didn’t someone tell me that a postdoc will do NOTHING for my career? Have you ever asked yourself the above question? A report from The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited highlighted the shocking truth about doing a postdoc—a postdoc is a “lousy decision” for PhDs. An academic postdoc will neither result in an academic job nor otherwise advance your career. This is why there is a pile up of postdocs around the world. A report by the National Institutes of Health found that there are between 37,000 and 68,000 postdocs in the U.S. alone. The truth is the academic system is hurting your career and the careers of talented PhDs around the world. Here are 3 reasons why academia is ruining PhD careers.

3 Top Biotechnology And Pharmaceutical Industry Trends Every PhD Should Know

By: Arunodoy Sur, PhD

Most PhD students don’t have a clue about what’s going on in industry. Do you? These PhDs do NOT understand the factors, innovations, and breakthroughs that are shaping the current markets in industry. Without knowledge of industry trends such as these, you can come across as naïve and inexperienced at job interviews. You can miss out on job opportunities that you are otherwise trained for.

5 Logical Fallacies That Prevent PhDs From Leaving Academia

By: Isaiah Hankel, PhD

Academia does not take care of its PhD-level employees. According to a report by the Royal Society, the proportion of PhDs who now manage to secure academic tenure positions is only 1-in-200.

10 Emotional Intelligence And Team Building Skills Needed For PhD-Level Industry Careers

By: Isaiah Hankel, PhD

I had no idea how to get a job my last year of graduate school. No idea. The entire process was like a black box to me. I remember asking my advisor for suggestions and getting turned down cold. He told me he didn’t have any business contacts. Which was true. He’d worked in academia his whole life. But then he told me that leaving academia meant I was a failure. This was NOT true.
