Event PROMO: The "Philosophy in PhD" PodiNar series - Part II

Event PROMO! Event PROMO! Event PROMO!

The Green Living Chats podcast presents the "Philosophy in PhD" PodiNar series.

In this second program of the podinar series, we hope to achieve two main objectives:

Discuss the value of learning to summarize big ideas: According to Arckam's razor, Truth Is Simple. Therefore, the ability of any graduate student to present their opinions or findings in concise and coherent words reflects how well they have thought about them and understand them. Here we discuss the 3minutes thesis module.
Developing interdisciplinary research collaborations: Ideas do not reside in one mind or field. Therefore, to adequately tackle problems in society, reasons must come together. But what is the value of this? What does it look like?

Attendees will benefit from developing a 3-mins thesis presentation and cultivating interdisciplinary research collaborations.

All graduate students are invited.
