I am grateful to Duygu Coskatuna for an amazing conversation about graduate student life and careers. [Check that interview out here!] Grad school offers many opportunities that you just don't see much of when you leave academia. I encourage all grad students to seize these chances to learn more and do more. You never know where they will lead you. If there is something interesting to you, learn more about it or participate in it. The boundaries we draw for ourselves in academic life can really restrain our potential to do something unique." Yes, I am open to being contacted by Princeton Graduate Students for an informational interview!
