Resources for Students

I have come across a number of resources for helping students navigate graduate school, academia, research, and career planning. These are especially helpful for students looking to understand typically unwritten customs and procedures. This page is by no means comprehensive but I do update it when I find new goodies!

(Caveat: these resources resonate with my own experiences in USA and Canada, but may not generalize to experiences in other countries.)
