☝️Soft skills are essential for #PhD success from application to #thesis defense.
Job ads often prioritize hard skills, but #SoftSkills like #CriticalThinking, #teamwork, #projectManagement are as important!

It was #InternationalMentoringDay on Friday and we want to celebrate our mentors and mentees 🤩

#Mentorship isn't one-directional - it is a dynamic exchange where both mentor and mentee evolve together!

As organizers - we are also constantly learning from the amazing Sci.STEPS community 💙

Are you doing a #PhD and asking: "Should I continue or leave?" - you are not alone💙
It's a unique and demanding journey: to move forward, you need to pause and reflect deeply - even if that means considering to quit.

🌟 if you're thinking about becoming a #mentor but unsure: Your unique experiences can guide and #inspire others!

💙 It might be intimidating to label oneself a "mentor", but mentoring is about sharing your journey, not having all the answers, and you can help at any stage of your #ScientificCareer
