Random Sample podcasts in 2023
Industry PhDs
I did two more podcasts in 2023 for the Random Sample. One podcast was on industry PhDs. Industry PhDs give a lot more options for the PhD candidates in terms of jobs. And they get to see how the industry views research as well.
For this podcast I chatted to 3 OPTIMA PhD students at Melbourne University – Hritika Gupta, Harry McArthur and Nico Andres Thio. The podcast is available at https://www.therandomsample.com.au/podcast/industry-phds/.

As usual Tim Macuga was doing a lot of work in the background.
