After Your PhD has joined a vibrant community of thinkers, writers, and organizations sharing valuable insights across disciplines. With so many great voices on the platform, After Your PhD put together a curated list of the best Substacks to follow.
What is Substack?
Substack is a mix of different things like social media, blogging, and email newsletters. Unlike traditional social media, Substack offers an environment where you can engage deeply with content through newsletters, audio, and subscriber-only posts—making it a powerful tool for building meaningful intellectual connections.
