Still thinking about the #USCBeyondPhD conference which took place two days ago? So are we.

“If you want to bridge both worlds (academia and industry) you need to show the other world that you can understand both sides.” - Chloe Bird #USCBeyondPhD

How do you balance personal and professional life? “It’s about work life integration - integrating them together.” - Raymond Stevens #USCBeyondPhD

Mentoring is more of a network than just one person who controls everything. #USCBeyondPhD

What skills did you gain from your doctoral degree that helped you in your first job? Grit which gave me an entrepreneurial spirit. I learned about breadth and depth. It’s a character building process - learned about flexibility. #USCBeyondPhD
