Life of a Scientist- A Typical Day 

To be honest, some days it really goes that way. One person drops in to ask something about a protocol, next your PI wants to ask a question about your meeting abstract, then you need to calculate how much reagent you need for tomorrow, then you received a notification about an interesting paper, then your waiting for a blood sample to process but don't hear anything from the university hospital until 5 in the evening, you had a 'lunch' meeting which took 2 hours instead of 1 because the projector wouldn't start up right and some wise postdoc from another department asked a series of really intriguing questions (even though you almost dozed off). Before you know it it's 7 pm an you're not even home yet, and you wonder how productive you've been today. Some days, yes, some are really like that in the scientist's life. BUT there's much fun and joy as well you know ;)

@@Biomeducated I looks like so much fun :) I hope I can become a scientist

Thank you, I'm so glad! Good luck on getting into the lab!

Good luck!

@@HaveYouEverWondered Thank You!

That's great, well done you!

Forget it .. life of an indian phD students sucks :P

Graduation dhang ka hona chahiye

Aur usme india wale mahir hai

Proud to be india

Yep, it's hard work. But that's why you need a good social life balance!

@@HaveYouEverWondered I don’t need one of those, just caffeine. I don’t actually know I just did it for the memes.

Cursory Chemistry thx for your effort!

I’ll have a look, I’ve always been interested in a career of chemistry x

Of course! It's all about how you manage your time :)

Haha. Just realized that I have bad time management skills. Oof.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi, thanks so much! I'm glad it's helped. During my PhD I was quite flexible (the perks of academia). I would generally work for 8 hours a day, although in my final year I was frequently working 10+ hrs or coming in at 12am and 6am for time points. My weekends dissipated in final year too :( I can for sure make a video about that and my research. Keep an eye out for it in the next month or so. Good luck with your PhD :)

Hi! Thank you so much for the advice! And I will definitely watch out for your upcoming video :)

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Yes my also..😊😊😊😊😊

You wrote this 4 years ago 😐weird

That's great to hear, well done you and good luck with your startup!

@@HaveYouEverWondered Thank you ♥️

I graduated with my PhD from Loughborough University. Because I had an industrial sponsor my salary was pretty good. But it depends on the programme/funding you get

nah, you have to put up with people, sorry lol

Thanks for the comment. I feel i'm quite lucky in a way because all of my research projects so far have had a direct route to impact so you can see how they would help people (when the research is finished). For example my PhD project would directly help the pharmaceutical industry make effective drugs for kidney disease cheaper and quicker, thereby helping people in a shorter time frame. And It's actually being developed further which is pretty cool. That's the great thing about research, you can focus on different things so it rarely gets repetitive. Biomedical Science is a great course to take as well as there's so much variety in it. Good luck!

Every daily routine helps everyone.Lab work can be inse and repeat.Its how u look at it.It can be boring and repetitive and some people dont like to do that with the rest of their life.The only way to truly know if u like it is by going through internship first. You wont like it i think.But youll moreso tolerate ir

Fantastic!

@@HaveYouEverWondered yup!

In the UK we generally don't have metal detectors at universities. Even if that's the case as long as people are aware of pacemakers/ metal implants there's ways around it :)

@@HaveYouEverWondered Thank you for replying!

I have do some other experiments on different species which are not found yet and it's kingdom but I don't know right direction to explain my views .I don't know any body how work in this field.so please if you help me how can I choose write direction

@@AdityaSharma-jw3ct ok according to me that's great if you are researching on your own this shows that you are interested in the particular subject so, what you can do is you can start your own blog and just write about your ideas and explain them easily to the audience and more better suggestion would be that you should write your own research paper and you should try to publish it. Try on researchgate website. Check this website you might get some idea. All the best! Keep going. Cheers #science community.

Hi I am from India too I want to ask u one question how much do u earn per month as microbiologists I just passed my 12th and wanted to go on medical site but got less mark in neet to decided to do microbiology

It's a containment level 2 biological lab!

Curiosity is key, it opens up a world of knowledge 👍

@@HaveYouEverWondered curiosity killed the cat

@@tommyd.3927 Oh damn..you just poured buckets of cold water to others

My friend wears a hijab and did a lab based PhD. Hijabs are allowed in many labs and she wasn't treated any differently to the other researchers :)

It's good to keep an eye out for PhD's in that field and then applying (websites like findaphd are quite good). If you have background lab experience that will definitely help! And if there's someone you particularly want to work with, you can send them an email with your CV

Get a pHD.

you don't want to

same! tho how you said deadly deseases sounds so evil xD might wanna change said to make it sound atleast a bit more normal lol

This was filmed at the Centre for Biological Engineering at Loughborough University. I now work at the University of Edinburgh

Haha thanks! I don't own a meseum yet

Introvert huh... Being a scientist is best for introverts though

yes

Ashutosh Saigal Yes. It must be somewhere around -700... Just joking.

No, you just need to find what you really love. Try many different paths, if you are lucky, one or more will really peek your interest.

Not at all.

No! Everybody is a genius. Just find your best work

Why don't you make a vaccine in your home with your own money then? I hope you wouldn't use the scientist's discovered vaccine as well and wouldn't visit a doctor if you get sick.
