ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Your PhD might be preparing you for a career that barely exists anymore. Only 15% of STEM PhD graduates actually become professors, yet most programs still train students like it's 1975. In this episode, Alex Romano breaks down Krisztina Holly's game-changing approach to fixing graduate education by teaching real-world innovation skills that actually matter.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
• Why universities with innovation-focused PhD tracks see 40% higher job placement rates
• The specific collaboration skills that matter when research projects now involve 50-200 scientists
• How open access publishing exploded 400% in a decade (and what PhD students still don't know about it)
• The practical roadmap both students and institutions can use to bridge the academia-industry gap
👤 Perfect for: lifelong learners and anyone passionate about personal growth, especially if you're wondering how higher education needs to evolve for the modern world.
