I had the pleasure of working on a new banner, a series of spot illustrations, and even a new logo for this year’s What Can You Be With A PhD? conference.
This project spoke to me at a very personal level. I finished my PhD in neuroscience at the age of 28 and I had never seriously considered any path outside of academia. It took me many years (and a lot of luck) to build a career in illustration. I could have used an event like this!
I wish we had more open and honest conversations about career options for PhDs. I know this is a time of job applications, frustration, and uncertainty. Good luck everyone
