In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I address the crucial factors to consider when choosing a thesis or dissertation advisor for graduate school. Drawing from my experience coaching graduate students, I emphasize the importance of communication styles, respect, kindness, and support beyond just research alignment. I break down the topic into two scenarios: for those applying to grad school and those needing to change advisors mid-program. I provide actionable advice on gathering information and assessing advisor fit to ensure a positive grad school experience.
