First of grad school has begun! It’s still a bit unbelievable that I’m in a doctoral program, something I’ve been wanting for YEARS (imposter syndrome... is that you?). 

It’s a small school and we actually have had the opportunity to meet with the cohorts that are ahead of us. It’s reassuring to hear them say that, even though it’s hard work, they’re still happy with the route they’ve chosen.

Even better, all of the professors seem genuinely happy to be at the school to teach with us. Too often you hear that professors are only teaching to do their research but that does not seem the case here.

I am happy.

But a bit scared!

Harvard student balancing two doctoral programs and newborn twins

A Harvard graduate student is enrolled in two doctoral programs and raising newborn twins.

Talia Gillis has such a calm, friendly presence you’d never guess that she’s undertaking two doctoral programs while pregnant with twins and running around after a toddler at home.

“Did I underestimate the amount of work it would take?” she asked rhetorically. “Yes, probably. But it has been fantastic.”

Gillis recognizes that she’s an outlier. “It’s not very common for women to have kids in the economics graduate program, and two is odd, but three is kind of crazy,” she said in early February. “It took a long time to reconcile my self-concern as a graduate student and the fact that I was going to have twins, but a lot of people have been very supportive.”

Born in London, Gillis moved with her family to Australia when she was an infant, and then to Israel when she was around 8. It was at Israel’s Hebrew University that she first studied law and economics as an undergraduate, before moving to Oxford for a graduate law degree. She then came to Harvard six years ago to get an S.J.D. in law and economics, deciding soon after to add a Ph.D. in business economics with a focus on household finance and behavioral economics.

“With behavioral economics, it takes one to know one,” she explained with a laugh, adding that “introspection about how I was running my finances and spending money really had an initial appeal for going into behavioral economics and household finance.”

Share your PhD experiences.

Dear internet,

I am currently in my masters degree. After graduating, I’d like to pursue a PhD. Please share your own PhD experiences with me (either as a reply or reblog to this post, or in my tumblr inbox - anon or not). 

Question in particular that I am interested in (no need to answer all!):

- your subject area/research topic - country of your PhD institution (and would you recommend it?) - (expected) duration of your PhD - reasons you do a PhD - what you like most about the experience - obstacles and problems you have encountered - estimated hours per week that you dedicate to your research - estimated amount of free time you are able to take for yourself - how stressful you find the experience

I’m looking forward to really interesting reports. Answer whatever you feel comfortable with - I won’t publish any of the asks you submit to me, though I will possibly reply to you via chat if you add to the message that that’s alright with you.

Thank you kindly!
