The Ph.D. Process

A Student's Guide to Graduate School in the Sciences

What People are Saying About The PhD Process

Editorial and Reader Reviews

"When I was finishing my Ph.D. in 1993, there was almost nothing written about how to survive and thrive in graduate school. Today, there are a handfull of excellent guides and handbooks—full of the sort of advice that saves time, reduces anxiety, and helps students get where they want to go. I am pleased to report that the latest entrant to this group of books is outstanding. The Ph.D. Process is the most comprehensive guide to date about graduate school in the sciences."

Science's Next Wave, Peter Fiske, November 26, 1999
