And my first 100 subs would always have a special place in my heart :) Well, if my video saves 1 hour from each my viewer's PhD program, my hard work in PhD/Postdoc would pay off. Hope you are doing well with your PhD, Kevin. It always put a big smile on my face to see your comments!
Thank you for another highly insightful video! I used to believe that I needed to read everything to be a good student, but your message encourages me that I can be selective in what I read and still excel. To answer your question, it’s good to address these same themes again and again. For your sake, you can keep referring to and providing links to your previous videos.
Hi Benjamin, It also has taken me a long time to realize that (since we are all outstanding students to begin a PhD). Indeed, you are the "CEO" of your own thesis, so it's a process to learn how you could make many sensible decisions. And it's better to make a bad decision than to be indecisive and to waste time! The word "decision" has a latin root that means "to cut off". de = ‘OFF’ + caedere = ‘CUT’ CUT + OFF = DECISION! It seems this shorter 5 min-video is quite well received, so I may do similar reminders in the future (actually it saves me time too!). Appreciate your feedback and assurance :) Vera
Hi Supriya, welcome to my channel. What is your biggest PhD struggle at this point of your studies? Feel free to comment on my videos, I read them all :) Check out this playlist for thesis writing tips if you enjoyed this one, *just one video per coffee is suggested* : ru-vid.com/group/PLF6JfHXiwSZ7aT8k-mNkSZweNy7wuFoxY
Glad it was helpful! I have a playlist on Thesis writing tips, do come back when you have a coffee break :) ru-vid.com/group/PLF6JfHXiwSZ7aT8k-mNkSZweNy7wuFoxY
My impression is that these tips, although very effective, lend more towards how to better manage journal articles read them quickly and effectively. My undergrad professor taught us an excellent method for reading many journals fast and efficiently. Perhaps journals have a different than Igneous Metamorphic Petrology (within the Geosciences) than other sciences? I will give Zotero a try though; I did learn something from your vid--that's the key right?!
Reading and managing what you have read are both essential to being a good researcher. The point is, you are always going to read MANY article to find the right one to carefully read. Besides Zotero, it's essential to rename the file according to project/chapter of PhD. Zotero is hugely valuable when you have more than 30 references (in my case thousands of them in postdoc!)
Thanks for the kind words, Nelson. Being an academic professor has been my goal for the past decade, so I have been passiontely thinking about these topics. I created this channel hoping all my past efforts would help the others on this channel. Feel free to leave your PhD questions on my videos, I read them all and they will influence my video ideas :)
Hi Paul, I am blessed that more audience are being patient with my content (watching to the end, putting a like..etc) and RU-vid is starting to promote my videos as a result. What a pleasure to meet you here, please feel free to comment whenever you have a question!
