What is your PhD like?

Hi guys!

Posting out of curiosity to know how PhD look like in different fields. I'm in the material science field, so everything goes around novel ideas that can solve industry issues, new experimental findings and getting the work published. But I wonder what drives other fields research! Like philosophy, history, art and more.. what is the standard overview of your PhD?

I'm very curious about this since I have no friends pursing grad school in fields outside of science.

I hope you all have a great week! You got this!
