Ebook Announcement | Chasing Space Dreams: Lessons From My Path in Astrophysics
Happy Friday!
In-between the Kosmosest newsletters, I wanted to let you know that my first ebook is now available (at this link)!
The aim of this ebook is to make the journey of becoming an astrophysicist more accessible (especially for aspiring scientists) through personal recollections, lessons learned, and practical tips. At the same time, it's an informational read for anyone interested in space with plenty of astronomy facts woven into the story.
How to become an astrophysicist? What do physics studies and space research actually involve? Can those who don’t like math succeed in the field? If you’re interested to find answers to these questions, this ebook can act as a handy guide to you. It involves the experiences and lessons learned from each phase of an early-career astrophysicist’s path, including:
Nurturing an interest in space in high school
Physics Bachelor’s degree and internships
Space Sciences Master’s degree, studying abroad
Research experience at the European Space Agency, their opportunities, tips for applying
Applying to PhD positions
