About me!

Hi, I’m Nafisa! A PhD student in Population Health Sciences at Newcastle University. Through this blog, I want to share my notes and reflections on studying a PhD, what it is like being a research student in academia and tips & advice that I pick up along my journey. More so, this is a reminder to myself of the importance of self reflection and improvement. It is a way for me to share what helps me in my journey and hopefully can help some of you who are interested in academia too! So follow me for regular insights into the world of a PhD student!
