A must for a new /old /confused /frustrated PhD student or anyone considring a PhD as a career Preston I wanted to read this book since I had problems with my previous lab. This book provides very good advice on how to progress on a PhD program . Some of the advice given here looks common sense and some are learned over time.

This second edition contains a variety of new material, including additional chapters on how to communicate better with your supervisor, dealing with difficult people, how to find a mentor, and new chapters on your next career step, once you have your coveted doctoral degree in hand..
