All I have to say is that this essay worked for me ;)
I wrote this essay a few years ago with general background and advice for anyone applying to start a PhD in Biology - medium.com/@caseywdunn/... . If that is you, now is the time to start the process (reading literature, reaching out to possible advisors, ...) ahead of fall deadlines.
