A successful workshop is not only about the trainer but also about the participants, who play an equal role in conducting the session; you were definitely a part of a group of wonderful participants, who were very enthusiastic to complete assignments, interact, and make the sessions worthwhile for me as well. Look forward to seeing you at our future sessions!

Thank you for the wonderful testimonial Saranya Elangovan. It was our pleasure to host you in the session

When we think about research writing, we tend to focus on the technical aspects of the different forms of documents. What we overlook are the language aspects, which play an equal if not higher role in presenting our ideas with clarity and authority.

This session would be in the form of a one-day workshop that will cover the common language errors in academic, research, or formal writing, with sufficient examples and short quizzes to test your understanding. In addition, it will teach you some new sentence constructs for writing concisely and accurately. There will also be a one-hour assignment session in between that would allow you to apply the concepts independently to ascertain clarity and provide an opportunity to clarify doubts and discuss ambiguities.

**Joining a Ph.D. is not the end of the journey.**

8. Shortage of job opportunities

**Some tips to overcome them**

1. Choose the field, institute, lab, and supervisor(s) carefully
2. Consider having a side hustle (freelance)
3. Not completing/ delaying a Ph.D. is not the end of life
