Lara and Luisa Solms Although an alarming number of PhD students are struggling with psychological problems, universities are generally failing to respond. This situation prompted sisters Lara and Luisa Solms, both PhD students in Work and Organisational Psychology at the University of Amsterdam, to create a podcast series that focuses explicitly on the challenges PhD students face. In February this year, Lara and Luisa competed for the 2021 NWO Synergy Award, a social impact award for PhD students in the social sciences and humanities.

The podcast series is in English, will have a minimum of six episodes and is aimed at PhD students at universities in the Netherlands and beyond. Luisa Solms tells us more.
