Fauziyah 'Qash' Aris

Welcome to the PhD Nomad tribe! I’m Qash Aris, your fellow traveller from Malaysia, and this channel is my honest diary. It's the messy, beautiful, real-life journey of a postgrad student juggling research, and the relentless reality of Impostor Syndrome 😬. I started this because I promised myself: No PhD student should ever have to feel this broken and alone again! This channel is the official field diary for the DrPhDAI research project
