Doing a PhD and Mental Health

I wrote some notes about the process of doing a PhD, the importance of frustration, the roles of the supervisor and the student in different stages. You can find them below. Don't take this too seriously. Very little or none of this may apply to you.

You can also download the notes here.

I have also given talks about topics surrounding mental health and postgraduate studies:

• Talk at IFISC 2022 (no video, sorry)

• Panel discussion at Conference of Complex Systems (CCS), Palma, 2022, organised by Young Researchers of the Complex Systems Society

• Online talk organised by NetPLACE, 2022 (video)

• Talk at University of Bath, UK, 2023 (no video)

• Talk and panel discussion at NetSci conference Vienna, 2023, organised by NetPLACE
