Academia is a popular career choice for Ph.D. students. While our graduate studies at Johns Hopkins will prepare us to tackle the research side of an academic job, the reality is that professors are expected to teach, yet training to become skilled educators is minimal at best. Recently, a shift in that paradigm could be […]
