Is it just to publish papers? 📑 Or generate new knowledge in some way? 🧠 Is it to learn something new yourself 🤓 Or to learn to be a researcher? 👩‍🔬 Maybe it’s just a fun excuse call yourself a student for a little longer? 😂 Or to be able to call yourself Doctor?
☀️
☀️
☀️
I’ve been wondering about these two things for the past week or two 🤔 and I want to hear what your opinions are on the subject matter 😊 There’s no wrong or right answer 😉 and there will be absolutely no judgement from me 😁 I’m just looking to have some open conversations about this topic 😇
☀️
☀️
☀️
And you don’t have to be a PhD student or someone who has a PhD degree to answer this question ☺️ I’m also interested to hear people’s views from outside the system 😁
☀️
☀️
☀️
I do have my own opinion on this subject matter, but I’m saving it for a next post 😉 So hang tight 💪🏼 this discussion is just starting 🤩
