Ep 47. Alternative Academia (ft. Chris Cornthwaite)

On this episode of the QB pod, Sarah and Merle invite Chris Cornthwaite (Roostervane) about how to transition from the PhD to a career outside of academia ("AltAc"), and why the grass may in fact be greener on the other side. We talk about the transferability of skills, the social capital of a PhD, and the pitfalls of academia. You'll enjoy this one if you are thinking about pursuing a PhD and/or if you enjoy a bit of PhD trash talk.
