In this new late-night solo talk of the PhD Iceberg Explained Series, I speak about the issue of Writer's Block, a common feature that affects PhDs, overall.
But is Writer's Block really a cognitive and intellectual challenge to all of us or is it just NONSENSE?!
Stay tuned for this solo session as I share three impactful insights along with some solutions that PhDs must put into practice if they feel they have Writer's Block.

Students and graduates!
Dr Michael Gerharz, a German PhD in Computer Science, talks about the importance of effective communication and what makes a great public communicator.
Effective communication is a skill every PhD student must master, yet many struggle to make their complex research understandable to a lay audience. Dr Michael tackles this challenge head-on, drawing from personal experiences of explaining intricate research to family members without academic backgrounds to anecdotes about the reluctance of some academics and non-academics to simplify their language to practical advice on using plain language and digital tools.
To know more about Dr Michael Gerharz and his brilliant work on effective public communication, check out his website where you can find his articles, his blog "The Art of Communicating" and his new book The PATH to Strategic Impact: https://michaelgerharz.com/
