b"Even academic and professional paths that look straighforward from afar and in hindsight were built on highs and lows, opportunities, obstacles, time-outs. Today's conversation illustrates this perfectly and shows how these irregularities are part of what makes the journey interesting.

\\nThis episode\\u2019s pearls of wisdom:
\\n
\\n\\u201cWhen I became a professor, it was the beginning of a transition where we were being more honest with the students about the fact that most of them would not go into academic careers. And what we're trying to defend today is the idea that the PhD is just an excellent training for any career. That being in a lab and having a research project, and all the ups and downs of a PD is just a fantastic training for anything afterwards.\\u201d
\\n
\\n\\u201cI think there is a transition in many science-related careers. If you were the science correspondent of a national newspaper 20 years ago, you didn't need a PhD. Today, you need a PhD. If you were a patent lawyer, even in the life sciences, 20 years ago you didn't need a PhD. Today, you do. So there are many professions where today, if you want to do those successfully and compete you need to have a PhD, whether it is patent law, whether it is science communication, and I could go on and on.\\u201d
