The Balance Between Scientific Excellence and Academic Service: A Conversation with Professor Simone Wies

In this fourth episode of PhDreams, we are joined by our guest, Professor Simone Wies from Goethe University Frankfurt. We discuss academic services, the "third mission" of academics alongside research and teaching. We talk about the various levels of services, explore which requests to accept or decline, and demonstrate how academic service and scientific excellence can coexist. Additionally, we answer a listener's question about the pros and cons of personal websites for young scholars. Tune in to learn from Simone's great advice how to make services work best for you!
