While the Grad Life blog is billed as a supplement to “the graduate student experience at McGill,” there is plenty of material here that extends far beyond the boundaries of one world class Canadian university. Take the post, “What is a post-doc for (and how to succeed in getting one?)” for example. Any of the tens of thousands of students slogging through a PhD (not to mention their loved ones) would do well to contemplate Dr. Pai’s five key points addressed in this thoughtful entry. For the most part, contributions come from grad students themselves, hailing from a variety of programs and disciplines such as Mechanical Engineering, Biochemistry, and Music Education. The site can be browsed at leisure, or by Categories such as employment, grad school experience, or tricks, tips, recommendations, and ideas.
