I’m a current PhD sntdeut interested in a career outside of academia. I recently started investigating science writing as a potential career path and have come to realize that there’s a lot of career options for a PhD outside of academia and industry that I was unaware of. The question as to how this kind of information can be integrated into PhD training is a good one. A seminar series featuring people from a diverse range of science careers is one possible avenue. Also, it would be helpful if courses from other departments were cross-listed, for example science policy or environmental writing courses.
