If this is your first time on How to PhD:
A big welcome to you! 💛
Returning readers, much love and thank you so much for your support!!! 💗
I am Oindree. I finished my PhD in particle astrophysics from Ohio State University in August 2018.
Doing a PhD can be very isolating.
How to PhD exists to let you know that you are not alone!
My goal is to provide community, support, and actionable steps to help PhD students succeed in their programs.
Together, we can overcome the challenges of academia!

Posts addressing your questions
I regularly dedicate a full post to address a specific question that someone asked.
Here’s a post in response to a question a college student asked:
How much do graduate students get paid as stipend?
And, a post after a question a grad student asked:
How much crying is normal?
Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask your question!
