In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I talk with Dr. Gertrude Nonterah, founder of Bold PhD Consulting, about career design for PhDs and the challenges and opportunities for PhDs considering careers outside academia. Dr. Gertrude shares her own journey from academia to science communications and offers practical advice on career development, networking, and leveraging your PhD skills for non-academic roles. We emphasize the importance of intentional career planning, visibility, and creating multiple opportunities for yourself in an uncertain job market.
