In the ever-evolving field of bioinformatics, one key question that always is floating around, to PhD or not to PhD. Decades ago, a PhD was the only route into bioinformatics, but as online and on-the-job learning takes off, is there still a need for one in 2024? In this video I discuss the problem with the system, the positives of PhDs and the Negatives. Hope you enjoy and find useful!
ps. there's SO MUCH MORE I can discuss on this topic, lots more positives and negatives that I haven't mentioned, let me know if you want more of this!
