The Ph.D. Process offers the essential guidance that students in the biological and physical sciences need to get the most out of their years in graduate school. Drawing upon the insights of numerous current and former graduate students, this book presents a rich portrayal of the intellectual and emotional challenges inherent in becoming a scientist, and offers the informed, practical advice a "best friend" would give about each stage of the graduate school experience.

What steps can I take now to make myself more "employable" when I get my degree? What goes on at the oral defense?

Headlined sections within each chapter make it easy to took up any subject, while dozens of quotes describing personal experiences in graduate programs from people in diverse scientific fields contribute invaluabLe real-life expertise. Special attention is also given to the needs of international students.
