The PhD Insider

230,000+ researchers follow my PhD guidance on LinkedIn. 10,000+ subscribe to this newsletter. Here's why. The PhD system is broken. Whether you're a full-time researcher or a working professional juggling a career alongside your doctorate, universities don't teach you what actually matters: how to finish. Every Wednesday, I share one insider technique to help you complete your PhD on time and navigate the academic system with confidence. All in under 4 minutes. I'm a Professor who has examined 47+ PhD theses, supervised 30+ PhDs to completion, and secured ÂŁ9M+ in research funding. My followers call me their "virtual mentor" because I share the insider knowledge most supervisors never tell you. AI is transforming research. But the risks are real. I train universities on responsible AI use and I'll show you how to leverage these tools without compromising your integrity. Think of this newsletter as your weekly mentoring session. No fluff. No academic jargon. Just the strategies I use with my own mentees, delivered to your inbox every Wednesday.
