Drawing upon the insights of numerous current and former graduate students, this book presents a rich portrayal of the intellectual\u003cbr\u003eand emotional challenges inherent in becoming a scientist, and offers the informed, practical advice a best friend would give about each stage of the graduate school experience. What are the best strategies for applying to a graduate program? How are classes conducted? How should I choose an\u003cbr\u003eadvisor and a research project? What steps can I take now to make myself more employable when I get my degree? What goes on at the oral defense? Through a balanced, thorough examination of issues ranging from lab etiquette to research stress, the authors--each a Ph.D. in the sciences--provide the\u003cbr\u003evital information that will allow students to make informed decisions all along the way to the degree. Headlined sections within each chapter make it fast and easy to look up any subject, while dozens of quotes describing personal experiences in graduate programs from people in diverse scientific\u003cbr\u003efields contribute invaluable real-life expertise. Special attention is also given to the needs of international students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRead in advance, this book prepares students for each step of the graduate school experience that awaits them.
