David Mendes da Silva
Scientific and Medical Translator, Public Speaker, and Consultant in Montreal, Québec, Canada
👋 Hi, I’m David Mendes – science communicator, podcast host, and PhD career strategist based in Montréal, Canada.
I’m the creator and host of Beyond the Thesis with Papa PhD – the bilingual podcast that helps graduate researchers navigate life after academia. Since 2019, I’ve interviewed 300+ guests from around the world, exploring how PhDs build meaningful careers in and beyond the ivory tower.
With a background in cell biology and over a decade of experience in medical and scientific translation, I now focus on helping PhDs turn their expertise into powerful professional narratives. Whether through my podcast, my talks, or through my Skool community, my mission is to empower researchers to tell their story in a clear and memorable way and take confident steps toward their dream careers.
