PhD Interview: Questions, Answers & Explanation (by a scientist)

I break down common questions asked during PhD interviews and explain what professors are really trying to learn about candidates. I explain how to approach these questions and how to prepare for an interview. In the episode, I also cover what typical advisors seek in candidates, and what students should be careful about in interviews. This episode is especially relevant to STEM students aspiring to pursue a PhD.
