system, so I put together a short video with some tricks for mitigating some of those pain points. Hope it helps? π§ͺ

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

For over 40 years, we have driven research in efforts to find a cure for PKD. Now, a 57% cut to CDMRP funding threatens that progress. Urge Congress to protect this critical funding, PKD research depends on it! Take action now:

Unlike the people taking a chainsaw to institutions, the people working at these institutions are real patriots, who have worked their entire careers to keep the US at the forefront of science, to protect against threats, natural and man-made, to ensure a high quality of life for all Americans.
