A PhD Is Not Enough A Guide to Survival in Science

Peter J. Feibelman
My scientific career almost never happened. I emerged from graduate school with a PhD and excellent tech-nical skills but with little understanding of how to sur-vive in science. In this, I was not unusual. Survival skills are rarely part of the graduate curriculum. Many pro-fessional scientists believe that “good” students find their way on their own, while the remainder cannot be helped. This justifies neglect and, perhaps not inciden-tally, reduces work load. There may be some sense to the Darwinian selection process implicit in “benign ne-glect,” but on the whole, failing to teach science sur-vival results in wasting a great deal of student talent and time, and not infrequently makes a mess of stu-dents’ lives.
