My wife got a PhD by age 28 with over 20 science publications, didn’t stress at all during the time really.
She traveled the world during that time and we live a pretty chill life. Met lots of friends during that time too. Don’t purely listen to anecdotes.
- behnamoh 2y agoFrom the number of published articles, it seems your wife was in STEM? Engineering Ph.D.s publish a lot of papers but they contribute little to each, because there are often tens of co-authors. Not to downplay your wife's achievement, but pointing out #papers is not that informative.
- bosch_mind 2y agoFirst author publications. She’s an Ivy grad. Obviously I am biased, but she isn’t really slacking mate.
- n4r9 2y agoCome on! 20 publications in STEM by age 28 is massively impressive regardless of field. Admittedly it's not the US, but I've found one study that suggests a publication rate of 0.52 article equivalents per year for women PhD students in engineering and technology: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751157715000218 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S175115771...
