My derby wife Logistic Aggression Hanna Wallach, a Computer Science professor at UMass Amherst, published this guide on how to be a successful graduate student. It’s written for computer science students, but most of the advice applies to anyone. I think it’s a great compilation of many things that I either learned formally or informally during my PhD.
