Ashwin V. MohananA reflection on a post Ph.D. mindset.Looking back, it took me at least 3 years, if not 6 years for my <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ImpostorSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ImpostorSyndrome</a> to fade away. Tonight I was reading my own <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PhD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhD</a> thesis (dated 2019) and I was thoroughly impressed by the depth and the quality of the writing.On the other hand, I clearly recall during the months closest to my PhD defense, where I was nearly convinced that what I had done was a "piece of cake" that any grad student could have done themselves. How I was wrong.To all PhD students out there, don't let the impostor in you to discourage you. Give yourself a pat in the back and believe in your peers and friends when they say you have done well! 🥇
