New to graduate school? Pay attention to those core courses

By the end of your first semester in graduate school, you may find yourself drowning in all sorts of emotional episodes if care is not taken. Often, the excitement and challenges that come with conducting research can be overwhelming. If you’re fortunate enough to have been offered a graduate research assistantship, the dual responsibilities of being a student and researcher can be tricky at first. It is imperative that new students balance that fine line until they become established.  Read more

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Ask the expert, Blog, Career paths, Careers articles, Competition, CV, Diversity, In the news, Industry, Mobility, People Management, Perspectives

Ageism "as bad as racism"

The figure for women is 18% and rising, and one in ten people aged over 70 are still working. And employers have an unconscious age bias.  Read more
