A Doctorate in One Video - Oxford Planetary Scientist

Описание: Seventy-five videos, five years on YouTube, one completed PhD, one published novel, and you can watch the whole thing in twelve minutes.

I began my doctorate at the University of Oxford in 2016 and turned on the camera in 2017; seventy-five videos since have documented my journey from Miss to Doctor, from Earth to Mars, from writer to author, and from dark hair to, in 2022, definitely greying!

My name is Lucy Kissick, I have a PhD in Martian geology, I’m a scientist in the nuclear industry, I’m the author of the science fiction novel Plutoshine, and thank you for watching five years of The PhDiaries. It’s been grand.
