Thanks, Shane, for this article. It's very thorough and offers a overview that I also believe is valid for any other field of study.
I'll pass your wisdom on to my daughter, who's just started this September her first academic year in the Science program at the university of Maastricht.
I wish you all the best with your brilliant plans! 🍀

Ps: I’ve also shared it on LinkedIn. I hope you agree because it will be helpful for many students.
