It's a season of lab rotations for PhD students!! Students - Go to every lab with a broad, open outlook, interact & learn. Think about which topic drives the passion in you, see which lab environment you would fit best into! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

There are many factors to carefully ponder upon before you choose & make your decision. Think it through as grad school forms the basis & foundation of your career in science be it academia, industry, other allied careers!

You spend a significant amount of time of the peak of your career in grad school in the lab hence choosing the right lab & the research that you are most passionate and driven about becomes highly important!

Everyone has a different style of working - see what suits you the best and where you'd gel in the most! Having a friendly, supportive lab atmosphere really helps you navigate the path! A supportive, understanding supervisor is a cherry on the cake.

Do not settle or compromise on the lab & work that does not interest you - this is especially imp as the years you would go on to spend in the lab turn out to be a drag! Other thoughts, anxieties start making way into your minds making things difficult.

It's good to spell out your career goals and discuss them with your supervisor openly during your PhD journey. This helps you plan, organize and work towards your goals in a timely manner with inputs and help from your supervisor. #careers #STEM

Journey of a #PhD is a process in which you gradually mature as a scientist, learn new concepts, critically think, contribute new ideas, learn teamwork, leadership qualities & function independently. And all this can only happen if you LOVE what you do!
