I am VERY curious to hear which ones you would pick 🤩 Especially since we’ve been having so many conversations about publications lately 😅 I thought this would be a nice way to finish it all off 😊 (unless I come up with more things 😂 then I’ll keep going 🤣)

I’ve heard so many mixed reviews on what you guys think PhDs should need to graduate 👀 I’ve been scrolling through the comments with my popcorn 🍿 cause ooohhhh sometimes it gets so juicy in there 😂 But I think fair points are made by both sides of the argument for if a PhD should need a publication to graduate 🤓

That’s why I want to hear from you now! 😃 If given the choice, would you want it to be a part of your requirements for graduation? 🤔 I would not… I think it would actually be far more beneficial to have a tougher defense and thesis review than to have a publication 🤭 I think you can learn more from the tough questions and comments on the entirety of your work than just part of it 😇 but that’s just me 😁
