Researcher Life: Managing A Stormy Journey

9. March 2018 Divya Researcher Life

If you read the blog on The Metaphor, you know that sailing the PhD boat can be difficult for a number of reasons. You may notice a hole in your boat that needs fixing (or else you will drown). There may be a storm you did not foresee. You may[…]

Researcher Ramblings : The Metaphor

26. January 2018 Divya Researcher Ramblings

A PhD Candidate is like an explorer at sea…in the 1500s! You may have a passion for adventure, but you are pretty much stuck with a compass and the stars for guidance! For those of you outside academia, let me paint a picture of what our journey on the turbulent[…]

Researcher Life : Getting out of the Tunnel

31. December 2017 Divya Researcher Life, work-life balance

Its the ‘resolutions’ time of year! The first two years of my PhD were pretty challenging; full of technical roadblocks and the toils that come with setting up a lab and research design from scratch. As a result, I was mainly just reading work related things and towards the end[…]

Researcher Ramblings: Of Role-Models and Women Researchers.

15. October 2017 Divya Researcher Ramblings

For a while now, I have been thinking about gender issues, a bit differently than I did before. I could attribute this to a lot of life events, but the part I’m going to focus on started with the release of Wonder woman. I saw the poster and thought ‘wow,[…]

Researcher Life: You are growing

7. August 2017 Divya Researcher Life

These days, every time I talk to someone who just started their PhD, I am reminded of the long way I have come. As it goes with seeing someone at a stage you were a few years back, I’ve started reflecting on how I have grown in the 3 years[…]

Researcher Ramblings: The Joy of Dimensionality

31. July 2017 Divya Researcher Ramblings

Mental health has come a long, long way in a very short time. The way we diagnose and judge is constantly changing. For instance, it wasn’t long ago that diagnosis was made by checking the shape of the skull. And it was also not too long ago that the only[…]

Researcher life: Bear in mind

24. July 2017 Divya Researcher Life, work-life balance

So first, an update for my readers – After a long absence from my blog, for which I send across my heart-felt apologies, I have decided to post more often, and even post shorter articles when I’m on the go. I hope you still like this form of more uninhibited[…]
