Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

Hi Leonie! Have you ever considered doing science communication vids? I mean, connecting your studies of bioneurology with your media skills to try to make bioscience topics digestible for the general public.

@carolcvargas1 3 года назад

it takes me like a week just to force myself to sit and start working on my dissertation, it baffles me how you just sit and work like it's the easiest thing :O

@wandguardnoodle 3 года назад

I experienced this too when I was working on mine! What helped me was trying not to think of it as 'working on my dissertation' but planning concrete manageable tasks and making outlines - which Leonie also did in this video. It's much easier to sit down when I have a task like 'write a section (3-4 paragraphs) on what happens as an impulse is transmitted through a synapse' or 'describe 3 examples of Thing X' rather than 'work on literature review'.

@julieannelovesbooks 3 года назад

@@wandguardnoodle this is exactly what I do! Instead of having this big task ‘write something for your dissertation today’ I sit down and figure out which steps are involved and then I break those up in the tiniest most manageable pieces. Something that might just take me 10-30minutes to do. Doing it like that makes me feel better than forcing me to sit there and do something for 5 hours straight.

Hey, as a neuroscience student I don't know how much you focus on the psychological aspect (since it's more biology oriented) in your studies. As a psychology student myself who is doing research on the links between depression and eating disorders it's good to know that different forms of depression develop because of different reasons, so maybe it would be interesting to look at data from a specific subset of mood diagnoses. Also something interesting I learned is that the way you think about stress can really affect the way your body (and mind if we're talking about depression) reacts to it. We see the same thing in cancer patients, where their mindset actually has a significant effect on their outcome. Again, I don't know what you already know and how much you've learned about psychology with the subject you study, so you probably know all this already, but if not, it's at least something interesting to think about.

@wandguardnoodle 3 года назад

1. I'm so glad you got a stand for your laptop! 2. I started my first 'adult' job in the middle of the pandemic and been working from home for several months now. I find really helpful to go for a walk after I finish work. It does a few things: helps separate work time and relaxation time (i.e. clears my head cache of work stuff lol), helps rest the eyes after looking at screen for several hours, and all the general good things that walking does (e.g. a bit of endorphins, movement, sun if available lol). 3. Don't feel bad if you have an "off" day, when you're not very productive. If you were at the lab/office, you'd do things like help your colleagues, brainstorm with them, do lab maintenance stuff, etc. Working from home there are none of those other things to do (in those cases I usually just go tidy my apartment or meal prep lol). I also find that doing a scientific brain-work intensive task often just requires to mull on it a while, like, have it in the back of your mind while you do other stuff. Thinking is literally part of the job, even if you don't have much to show for it in the moment.

I hear that getting glasses with a blue filter helps with headaches or just employ the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. You should also take breaks from continuous screen time, and you might consider keeping lubricating drops close to your workspace to refresh your eyes when they get dry.

I started an Internship in order to see if I liked the field, and decide wether or not to apply for a master program afterwards. Turns out, I´m a lot better at working than I am at studying and they offered me a proper job. Working from home however, is my personal hell. I wrote my bachelor thesis from home and already hated that. I need that phyisikal border in order to separate work from free time, otherwise I just stress out. Hate it.
