Managing Your Imposter Experience During and Beyond Your Degree with Marc Reid

This week, on the first Papa PhD episode of 2023, I am bringing you an incredibly insightful conversation about the impostor phenomenon in academia and beyond with Marc Reid, PhD, author of You Are Not a Fraud - A Scientist's Guide to the Imposter Phenomenon.
Imposter feelings are ubiquitous in graduate school and throughout your career, especially after pivots into a new position or a new space.
Marc has put a lot of thought into this question and was generous enough to come on the show to share his experience dealing with imposter feelings and what drove him to write a book on the subject.
A great way to start the year for me and, I hope, for you, too.
