“Lormina has been incredibly helpful in providing insights on transitioning from academia to industry. […] Through interviews with individuals from a wide range of academic backgrounds and roles across different sectors, I discovered just how diverse career paths can be after a PhD. I even learned about roles I hadn’t known existed, or thought were possible, for someone with a purely academic background.
It also offered me meaningful guidance for navigating my own career journey. It made me realize the invaluable transferable skills I had gained through my PhD and postdoc, which are often underestimated and not emphasized enough.
As an event organizer for BSNL promoting career development beyond academia, I was once looking for an entrepreneur with a PhD in life sciences, and Lormina directly helped me connect with the right person. If you're looking to connect with someone in a specific role or field, I highly recommend exploring Lormina; meaning that you can also use Lormina to start building your own professional network!”

“One of the main challenges [that I am facing] is the highly competitive job market, where many applicants often apply for the same role […]. This makes it important to find ways to stand out and tailor each application carefully. Reading the interviews has been very valuable, because I could connect with these people and reach out to them quite easily on platforms like LinkedIn. I even invited some of them to a recent symposium where I was a co-organizer. It also reassured me to see that others have faced similar challenges, which made me feel more supported in this transition. I appreciate that the questions asked in the interviews are exactly the ones I would be curious to pose myself. The website is simple, clear, and easy to navigate, and the way people’s stories are presented makes the resource feel both practical and complete.”
