S5 Ep 27Defusing Stereotypes About the PhD Outside Academia With Fiona Robinson (Rerun)
In this treasure from the Papa PhD vault, I bring you my Season 1 conversation with Fiona Robinson. During our conversation, Fiona shares her insights on pushing through in graduate school and in life, and on her take on finding a fulfilling professional life outside of academia. Following a PhD in RNA Biochemistry at Cambridge University and a post-doc in developmental neurobiology/oncology at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, Fiona moved to Montréal and shifted careers into science communication/medical education. Currently she is a freelance medical editor, a lead volunteer in the local women's hockey community, and half an IronMan! As medical editor, Fiona is responsible for the creation, editing, production, and publication of educational materials for different organizations in the global bleeding disorders community. She conducts needs assessments to understand what resources are most needed and then works with volunteer subject matter experts from around the world and local freelancers to create the content, which she then edits and sees through production. Managing budgets and timelines, volunteers and contractors, and diverse cultural and socioeconomic contexts requires many of the "soft skills" that she developed working in research and, just as importantly, exploring non-research interests during her time in academia. What we covered in the interview: The value of finding your passion to instruct your career searchHow nurturing a rich life outside research can open doors for you later onDealing with the uncertainty of the non-academic job marketDefusing the socially awkward/standoffish academic stereotypeThe importance of tailoring your CV and of tailor-writing your cover letters to each potential employer and positionLooking around and keeping a job posting scrap-book as a way of identifying potentially fulfilling careers Leave a review on Podchaser !

S5 Ep 18Rerun – Unlocking Your Thesis Writing Super Powers with Martha Boeglin
Do you struggle to sit down and write your thesis? Is the process painful to you?Then join me in one of the most listened episodes of last season with a specialist, a "thesis whisperer" of sorts - Martha Boeglin of Scriptoria.During my conversation with Martha, we discuss this inevitable, yet often gruesome task that is thesis writing, and Martha shares her know-how and a number of techniques and strategies to make the exercise a pleasant and successful one. When she wanted to write her thesis in Philosophy, Martha Boeglin was paralyzed for many months by the fear of the blank page.When she eventually understood that the fear of the blank page is normal, that almost every researcher is concerned by writer’s block… ant that writing problems are tabou at university, she started to investigate the phenomenon of writing.One discovery changed her life: writer’s block belongs to the writing process – and there are lots of creative writing techniques to overcome them.More: some writing techniques hold an almost magical power.Why are they not taught at university ?Her passion for writing techniques was born. With a double consequence: first, once she overcame that initial writer’s block, she was able to write her thesis – and worte it in a wave of euphoria.Second, once she got her Dr. Titel, she created Scriptoria, the writing workshops for PhD students in 2002.Its goal? To make writing a thesis easier: when you know the right techniques, writing is no longer a chore - it can even become a source of joy. Thank you, Martha Boeglin !

S5 Ep 15What is the Impact of AI on Higher Education? With Tim Dasey
This week on Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD we will be discussing "What is the Impact of AI on Higher Education?" with Tim Dasey, author of the book "Wisdom Factories: AI, Games, and the Education of a Modern Worker". Dr. Tim Dasey has a long history in AI and learning science, and recently published the book “Wisdom Factories: AI, Games, and the Education of a Modern Worker.” After thirty years at MIT leading AI development for diverse government needs, Tim leapt into education due to concern that minds won’t be ready for the jobs that remain human. He has a smidge of teaching experience at corporate, higher ed, and K-12 levels.

S1 Ep 15Réalisation versus mission avec Francis Etheridge
Dans cet épisode, tu vas entendre parler de gratitude, de bénévolat, de service, mais tu vas aussi entendre parler de persévérance, de sens de mission et d’entreprenariat. Ces mots peuvent te paraître de deux univers différents, mais ils se marient et trouvent un sens dans le récit que nous apporte Francis Etheridge à propos de son cheminement académique et professionnel. Bonne écoute pour cette entrevue qui, je crois, t'inspirera dans tes choix de carrière et dans ta vie. Francis Etheridge a complété un doctorat en gérontologie à l’Université de Sherbrooke. Sa thèse porte sur les difficultés persistantes des centres d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée (CHSLD) à améliorer les soins et services qu’ils offrent à leurs résidents. Ce projet doctoral lui a permis d’obtenir la bourse d'études supérieures du Canada Vanier. Après avoir occupé quelques postes de gestion dans le réseau de la santé, principalement des rôles-conseils dans des organisations offrant des services géronto-gériatriques, Francis agit désormais comme consultant. Il a fondé une compagnie, Humanique Conseil, par laquelle il offre des services de développement organisationnel et de gestion du changement principalement dans le domaine de la santé, mais aussi dans d’autres types d’organisation. Il conserve également un pied dans le monde universitaire en participant à des projets de cherche en tant que co-chercheur. Ce que tu apprendras dans cet épisode : L'importance d'avoir un objectif de vie tout le long de votre parcours académique Ce qu'on peut gagner à avoir une expérience en recherche et de publication au niveau du baccalauréat L'intérêt d'une approche de recherche active pendant vos études graduées L'importance de participer de façon bénévole à différents événements, groupes, ou organisations autour de nous La fierté que nous apporte la défense de thèse et la fermeture de ce chapitre de notre vie Le rôle important que peut jouer la vie à l'extérieur de notre projet de recherche pour notre équilibre L'intérêt de méthodes telles que le pomodoro pour augmenter sa productivité Les perles de sagesse de Francis : « J'ai toujours été quelqu'un qui disait davantage oui que non, que ce soit pour faire partie d'une association étudiante, pour faire partie des conseils d'administration. Généralement d'être ouvert, donc de participer à des entrevues, des colloques – à plusieurs types d'activités qui sont non rémunérées, qu'on fait de façon bénévole, mais qui permettent, justement, de créer des liens, d'enrichir nos connaissances. » « Je valorise une conception de la vie, disons, intégrée, et je pense que ce qui m'a aidé, c'est que mon objectif soit réellement un objectif de vie et pas juste on objectif professionnel ou académique. En fait, j'ai été aligné sur cet objectif d'aider les résidents, d'aider le personnel des centres d'hébergement depuis une douzaine d'années parce que ça m'appelle comme personne, comme être humain. Je pense que c'est ce qui m'a drivé à trouver des solutions pour atteindre cet objectif même si certaines portes se sont fermées devant moi è certaines étapes de ce cheminement. » « Ce que j'encourage, aujourd'hui, c'est de ne pas considérer le travail comme une dimension qui est externe à l'ensemble de nos vies ou qu'on vit en parallèle, mais comme quelque chose d'intégré. » « Pour moi, ce qui me permettait le mieux d'avancer, c'était des périodes intensives de travail où j'étais, peut-être, moins connecté à d'autres dimensions de ma vie, mais c'est ce qui me permettait d'avancer – des semaines de travail complètes, des fins de semaine de travail complètes pour, justement, éviter ces périodes de reprise, de travail, d'interruption. » « L'approche de recherche que j'avais adoptée pendant mon doctorat était la recherche-action. La recherche-action est un mode d'intervention tout autant qu'un mode de production de connaissance, donc ça m'a permis de développer des habiletés d'intervention que j'ai pu,

S4 Ep 50Être docteur.e en entreprise avec Ilhame Ameqrane (Rediffusion)
Cette semaine je t'apporte un Trésor de la Voute Papa PhD – ma conversation avec Ilhame Ameqrane à propos de son expérience comme docteure en entreprise. Durant notre conversation, on a parlé de comment mettre en valeur le doctorat dans le contexte d'un parcours professionnel atypique, des opportunités qu'offre un passage en PME après le doctorat et de la place que peuvent occuper les docteur.e.s en tant que managers au sein d'une entreprise et quelles compétences ils doivent aller chercher pour faciliter leur transition dans le milieu et dans la culture entrepreneuriale. On a aussi parlé du MBA et des considérations qu’Ilhame a pris en compte pour choisir celui qu’elle fait en ce moment. Télécharge la "Boîte à outils pour le doctorat" maintenant ! Après un doctorat en biologie et quelques années de post-doc, Ilhame a eu l'opportunité d'avoir une expérience dans le privé, au sein d'une PME en pleine croissance. Très vite promue à un poste de direction, elle a été amenée à travailler dans toutes les fonctions de la société : GRH, Management des Hommes, planification, Suivi/Prospection/réponse AO... Les trois années passées dans cette entreprise lui ont permis, de façon assez contre-intuitive au départ, de mettre en pratique les compétences développées grâce au doctorat : persévérance, capacité d'analyse et d'adaptation, force de proposition, résolution de problèmes complexes, et bien d'autres ! Aujourd'hui, Ilhame formalise cette expérience au cours d'un MBA en Management et Administration des Entreprises à l'IAE de Paris, ce qui complètera un panel de connaissances qui enrichiront d'autant plus son parcours et son profil.

S4 Ep 49Staying True to Your Life Plans During the PhD with Katya Park (Rerun)
Welcome to the third Beyond the Thesis Treasure From the Vault I am sharing with you this summer break! My great conversation about life balance as a young researcher with Katya Park. During the interview, Katya shared how during her PhD and postdoc she made sure to stay true to her life plans, namely those related to building a family, while working towards her goals, scientifically, and about how she dealt with the pressures and fears young researchers who want to start a family still experience, today. Download "Tools for Your PhD Journey" ! Katya did her PhD in molecular neuroscience at the University of Toronto, she defended when she was 7 months pregnant with her third son. Her post-doc was in molecular mechanisms involved in traumatic brain injury, and then she was the director of the Neurovascular Research team at a private health clinic. Wanting to get a broader picture of how things work, Katya left the lab and worked at the Ministry of Health. She currently manages a team of researchers and evaluators at the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility. She misses science though and the conversations involved, so she and her husband (also a neuroscientist) have started their own scientific consulting company. Thank you, Katya Park!

S4 Ep 47Juggling Side-Interests, Graduate School, and Your Personal Life During your PhD With Gertrude Nonterah (Rerun)
Welcome to the first of four Beyond the Thesis Treasures from the Vault I am sharing with you this summer break! My great conversation with the Bold Biomed - Gertrude Nonterah. My experience going through graduate school was mostly of graduate students being fully funded and working exclusively on their PhD, at least until the time came to write their thesis. But this is not the reality for everyone and in all domains of research. In my conversation with Gertrude, she shared about her journey so far, about her side-hustles during graduate school, abouth her life balance and time management life hacks, and about how she juggles her professional, personal, and family life, today. Download "Tools for Your PhD Journey" ! Dr. Gertrude (Gee) Nonterah is a biomedical scientist, college instructor, science communicator and author. Gee is the Host of The Create and Prosper Podcast where she interviews experts and shares tips on how to make money as a writer and author. Gee also started The Bold Biomed, a YouTube channel that provides tips on the PhD life, career and productivity for students in the biomedical sciences. When she is not doing any of these things, Gee enjoys a good spy movie. Thank you, Gertrude!

Or buy me a coffee :) Gertrude’s pearls of wisdom: “Family and work is usually not the only two facets of life. You have so much more, you know? I would say – find two hours in your day or if all you have is an hour, find an hour of your day, and during that time, focus. I always used to tell people that every business that you can think about – the coffee shop in your local city or your local town has working hours, right? They usually have working hours posted. So set working hours for yourself. It's hard – personally I don't think I'm the most disciplined person, but I learned to work for 1 hour sprints and to focus on my work, so I shut off all social media, I'm not checking YouTube or anything. I just focused on my work, because I knew what I wanted. So, knowing what you want and setting aside time to do it is so critical.” “Like David said, there's a hidden job market. There's an estimated 70% of jobs in the hidden job market. That means that they actually go to people's referrals, rather than getting posted publicly. So you don't want to just rely on publicly posted jobs. You can also access jobs that are never, ever posted by knowing people. You don't have to be everybody's best friend, but nowing the people is really helpful.” “I think the biggest question for a lot of people, even at the undergraduate level, is "I'm getting this biology degree, I'm getting this PhD, but, really, I don't want to work in a lab, or I don't want to teach. I want something that pays well. Because, you know, notoriously, academia doesn't pay well. It's so funny that that's the path that everybody thinks they need to pursue, yet it doesn't pay so well... But, you know, if you have a calling for it, then that's fine.” This episode’s resources:

S4 Ep 43The Stuff You Don’t Plan For (But Should) With Jacob Kendall
Jacob Kendall was trained as an academic and was on the tenure track, when a lot changed. He underwent a second heart surgery, started a couple of businesses, left his job, got married, his father got very sick (and eventually died), he moved twice, started another grad program, and had his first child. Needless to say, this is a lot of change in little time.In this Beyond the Thesis interview, we'll be talking about the lessons Jacob has learned along the way and about his reflections on being ready for expected as well as unexpected inflection points in our lives.Here are five take-home messages from my conversation with Jacob:Pursue career paths that align with your passion, even if they deviate from traditional academic trajectories.Be proactive in planning for life events and transitions that may impact your personal and professional life, such as health issues or caregiving responsibilities.Embrace change and take risks for personal growth and making a positive impact.Seek advice and support from those who have gone through similar transitions, such as utilizing professional networks and platforms like LinkedIn.Remember that careers are not static destinations but a part of life's journey, and it's important to regularly reassess and make choices that align with personal fulfillment and well-being.Don't miss out on this great interview!

I consider it a gold nugget from the vault and I hope you will enjoy it as I do. Happy listening!
