The Science Survival Academy

The Science Survival Academy exists to help researchers, doctoral students, academic writers, and independent thinkers survive and improve the practice of science by teaching them how to think more clearly, write more earnestly, and work more deliberately.

Founded by John Garger, the Academy started by supporting individual scholars with editing and coaching and has since grown into a critical, cross-disciplinary community producing books, lectures, videos, and courses about the people, practices, and institutions that shape scientific inquiry.

On this channel, you’ll find content dedicated to unpacking the hidden logic of research, demystifying the dissertation, examining writing, rhetoric, and communication as core scientific practices, and challenging assumptions, biases, and methodologies that distort knowledge production.
