– What skills should I acquire during my PhD?
– How to be successful in a PhD?
– What if it doesn’t work out?
– Challenges predominantly faced by women
– The two body problem
– Work life balance
and illustrated her own career on the basis of practical examples dealing with options, choices, changes, applications procedures and more.
