I’m a PhD student in a physics program and the only advice I can really give is to just be confident in yourself. Your stutter makes you unique and gives you unique insight into your work, and accepti...

It's the planning which causes a lot of our stuttering. Fluent people aren't thinking about how they are going to say this or that. Need to get back to the present moment. You may still stutter, but p...
