In this episode of the Doctoral Dialogue podcast, Helen Glew and Josh Mead from the University of Westminster discuss Kiu Sum's PhD journey in nutrition.
Kiu, a third-year PhD student, explores how medical doctors can be healthier to better serve patients. She accidentally fell into nutrition, finding passion in its interdisciplinary aspects, including policy and psychology.
Kiu values teaching undergraduates, noting their growth and her own development. She highlights the importance of research culture, collaboration, and peer support, especially combating imposter syndrome. Kiu recommends professional organisations, social media, and openness to opportunities for PhD students.
The Doctoral Researcher Development Program (DRDP) at Westminster offers tailored workshops for professional development.
