      My PhD thesis and then my thesis defense were the most challenging. I worked on that project for 4 years, my thesis was about 230 pages long. During the defense I had to explain my ideas and answer questions by experts in my topic for about 2 hours.

      Same as Anthony, though unfortunately mine isn’t done yet, I have to submit it by June 2021. Imagine a book that describes 4 years of work?!

      My PhD thesis as well. I hope to finish writing it by august 2020. It is extremely challenging.
      However my presentation for my PhD interview was a close second. I was desperately looking for so many PhD positions and was rejected several times. this PhD position was my last interview and I gave my everything into it. It was hard, and totally worth it 🙂
