Need advice on entering Academia with a stutter Hi everybody, I'm planning to take up my masters and eventually a PhD in Computer Science, but there are a ton of presentations for those degrees. Its especially nerve-wracking when you have to deliver your dissertation. I'm already terrified of my undergrad final year dissertation due next year. I literally dream of embarrassing myself in front of a hall full of distinguished professors and peers. If anyone here is pursuing / has pursued higher education (Masters, PhD), would you share your experience and maybe a few words of advice?
