ECR Skills for Geochemists: Things I wish I knew when I started my PhD…

In our lunchtime seminars on ECR Skills for Geochemists, we aim to provide geochemistry-focused training and advice to PhD students and other Early Career Researchers (ECRs). 

Our next session will be on “Things I wish I knew when I started my PhD…” on Tuesday 26^th November at 12 noon (GMT). 

Attendance is free but you’ll need to register using the google form here.

The session will comprise a panel discussion and Q+A, with a range of panellists from different areas of geochemistry providing their tips and advice on completing a PhD. The panellists are Xianyi Liu (Utrecht), Arianna Olivelli (Imperial), Laura Spencer (Cardiff), and Ross Whiteford (Royal Holloway).

This session will be suitable for all PhD students, but particularly for those who are starting out or in their first few years. Panellists will answer your questions and share tips and advice on how to manage your project, your supervisors, and complete a successful PhD!

When you register, you’ll also have the chance to submit your own questions for the panel! Hope many of you can join us, and in the meantime if you have any questions please contact David Wilson (david.j.wilson@ucl.ac.uk).
