I am creating a series of blog posts featuring some of the classes from the semester. Those, along with previous PhD related posts, are tagged with the “PhD support” tag.
Other posts in this series:
- First steps in research (from professors)
- First steps in writing
- Getting started in research (from a recent grad)
