Totally agreed, struggled with imposter syndrome for almost 1.5 years. Everything you mentioned was so relatable and felt assuring too. Thank you so much, looking forward to the forthcoming issues😇

This is incredibly powerful of you Apurva to acknowledge your imposter syndrome, face it and overcome it...going through this is not an easy struggle at all.

Accurate, straight to the point, and absolutely relatable. I'll take your advice (and this post as a sign) to communicate better with my supervisor. Thank you.

Never feel sorry for taking a little break, I hope it helped. A great part of the doctorate is managing the life around it. All the best!
