Welcome to my channel! I'm a PhD student in Physics at Cambridge University and I'm passionate about science communication.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a scientist? Or what neuroscientists, biologists, or material scientists actually get up to each day? Or even what science actually is, and how it works in the REAL world?
If so, SUBSCRIBE to my channel, and let me know in the comments exactly what sort of science or which types of scientists you would like to see more of!

20 PhD students reveal what a PhD is REALLY like
มุมมอง 245Kปีที่แล้ว
I condensed twenty, 20-min interviews into a 10-min video that explains what a PhD is really like to do! I asked about workloads, social life, best parts vs worst, challenges and whether they might do it again. Hopefully this video can be useful to anyone interested in doing a PhD, or just generally who's curious about what the heck a PhD really is!! The guest (stars) do (or did) a big range of...
PhD Students Talk About How To Maintain Mental Health
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Nearly every PhD student - including myself - has struggled with mental health at some point. The work can be isolating, the academic pressure can be intense, and you're faced with difficult problems that can take years to solve. Here, I ask a bunch of current and ex-PhD students what they do to maintain their mental health. They talk about actual strategies that they found helped them, ranging...
How to get into a PhD at Cambridge (or any top university)
มุมมอง 33K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I give you all the tips and strategies you need to get into a PhD at the world's top universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, MIT etc... This advice is based off my own experience where I started off at my local state high-school in New Zealand and then got 3 full scholarships to do a PhD in Physics at Cambridge. Although I mostly focus on PhD admissions, most of the advice i...

In this video I'm joined by the amazing Dr Hannah Stern, who shows me the ins and outs of her research into Quantum Communication (new super secure form of communication) with the help of PhD students Simone and Gu. Dr Hannah is a real-life Quantum Physicist, and got her PhD in Physics at Cambridge University and is now a Junior Research Fellow at Cambridge. Really excited to share my first vid...
Inside Materials Science PhD Research at Cambridge University: The Ultimate Level of Microscopy
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Here my friend Jordi shows me around the massive electron microscopes he uses for his PhD research in Materials Sciences at University of Cambridge! These so-called 'transmission electron microscopes' or 'TEM' are basically the ultimate level of microscopy that is physically possible, and can be used to image materials down to the level of individual atoms which is pretty insane. Also Jordi is ...
Behind the Scences: Biology Research at Cambridge University (Includes Genetic Engineering) (!!)

It's not clickbait if you can back it up. Yes, there are babies, and yes, we do make them glow. No but really, this is some real-life biology research from my friend Margherita Battistara who is a PhD student in developmental biology at the University of Cambridge. She uses various genetic techniques to make insect embryos glow so that the early-stage development of those embryos can be visuali...

Can a single male quantum physicist penetrate two slits at the same time?
I’m currently working full time - hoping to pursue a PhD in the same field I work in, within the same department - has anyone had this experience where they do a PhD where they work? - I work in a university as a research assistant within a research institute, my current line manager has offered to be my supervisor when I do eventually pursue a PhD🥰 feels soo positive and exciting.
Currently I'm struggling on my research field. It's totally new for me. I have just stepped into my PhD journey and it's two months. I need to show my progress weekly to the supervisor. Seems he is not satisfied about my works so far. This video made my day. Thank you so much !!
Great video… a positive spin on the PHD process. Completed my PHD in experimental physics 45 years ago. What I heard these great young people sharing their experience brought back a lot of memories. While it was very difficult overall what I learned intellectually, what I learned about myself, and the people I met were well worth the pain.
Love it
excellent soundtracking 🙆
I have ocd😅
If anyone knows anyone working in quantum labs seeking new experiments send them to this channel please "Breaking Physics (beyond the SMOPP)." Experiments are what will ultimately end the crisis in physics and cosmology. When trying to get particle physicists to understand the wave equation is describing a wave detected at single points not a particle, it's like talking to high tech flat Earthers, they say energy is a particle but has a wave function which isn't actually a wave! it's like particle physicists seeing people in a boat and saying "Oh look those people are moving mysteriously across the water" then we say "no but they're in a boat" to which they say "no there's no boat that's just a boat function that gives the illusion of a boat, we build nuclear bombs, computers to give corporations more control over everything and everyone, we control all physics taught in Universities and peer review journals, we have built ai which is now controlling drones killing people with no human 2nd opinion, most importantly we have the money. So trust us, don't dispute us, we are smarter than you there is no boat, the Universe has no fixed laws at the quantum level, it's not that we can't explain them using the particle model, it's just the Universe is random and bizarre and those people move mysteriously across the water in a boat function, anyone who says otherwise is just a nut job, even if they have the Math that supports it, so don't look." the reality in summary is that If u try to predict where a tornado will go depending on its speed and direction you can only predict with a similar level of certainty where it will be detected at a future time. In quantum physics they are waves of tiny spherical vortexes not particles. Moving inside a lattice made of Planck sized elastic tubes/strings. That's how EMR moves, along quamtum wires. Vortex vacuum, suction is what holds everything together and gravity is how the lattice is warped by the amount of vortexes lumped in any area, thereby defining the path of energy. The Theory of Everything has been around for 5 years with 2 math proofs to Goldbachs conjecture and proof a 2nd loop is impossible in the Collatz Conjecture but the Big bang particle industry have kept it suppressed time and time again, with hysterical particle physicists unable to bear to look or listen to any evidence that for a split second says they are wrong, who keep taking down this guys channel, and refusing to acknowledge his math proofs it's looking more like more horrors and doom every day for humanity, the TOE and experiments to prove it are on channel "Breaking physics (beyond the SMOPP)" most experiments and the 2 math proofs are in 1 minute shorts with this guy managing to make them look simple. There is no collapse there is only a change of focus on the wave, what changes the focus is the real mystery but this channel has experiments to test for what it is.
Brother I'm from India and i have completed Master of Science in Physics. I'm interested to physics subjects , my next thing is get a PhD admission for aboard universities like USA, so your your video is important for me . I'm subscribe your channel and I'm very happy with your information, friend next videos is how is process for admission to abroad students .
I’m doing a PhD + full time job with two young kids. Just finished 1st yr, past my upgrade interview yesterday. I’m on track to finish in the 2.5yrs. I wish I had 8hrs a day to focus on this and go to conferences. Mine is a completely different experience to these guys.
I am a post graduate in economics department in India. Do i have any chance of phd in cambridge. Is there a PhD in Economics in Cambridge?please say
One girl said “I would do another phd” 😂
Thanks you for that!

Thanks for the presentation. A mentor is very important. This program will also help the students.
The more I talk with people the more opposite reaction I get. So far, most people say that it was lonely. I, for one, can only recommend the PhD if one knows that they will need it for their work (e.g. chip design, RF, DSP) or they know that they can get a well-paying permanent position in academia. Also, If I could do it again, I definitely would not. There are other ways one could do research and development outside of academia.
Hannah is just like Leonard from TBBT

I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
When you finally get your PhD’s. be prepared to be one of two things. A beggar for money in the form of grants. Or. Unemployed.
For a solid minute I could not help but think that they are actors. 😂 They look too jolly being PhD scholars. Now I want to go and do my PhD from the same place.😮
Yeah same though 😂😂😂
Hi Alexander, I am Aaditya and I come from India, recently I have gotten accepted at UCL for my masters in Physics and aspire to do my PhD in Physics at Cambridge, can you provide me your email to further discuss some information about what exactly I should do during my masters to build up better chances for PhD at Cambridge
Nice
Can I get admission in PhD for history subject please tel me in Cambridge University or Harvard and Oxford University
Now i realized it is depending where actually you doinh your phd. If you dont have a support group and facilities needed and expertise help, phd will be very very hard.
Jeez man…i chose the wrong PhD. 6:00 -7:00 am starts & 9-10pm finishes ~ 30 years ago.
Everywhere if science exist, an Indian will be found for sure 🤣
Incredible, thank you for your service!
Was the PhD worth it? 💯Definitely <3
Very helpful thank you.
Hi. I am Mohsin from Punjab Pakistan. Currently, I`m in 3rd semester of MS Physics. i want to join it,can u help me?
Is a masters in research a must have to get a phd in Cambridge (concretely in psychology)?
The New Zealand accent is cute
When they say they work 12-20 hours. Just know that they mean most times, the number of hours they had to stay in the school environment not necessarily the time of productive work.
Great video dude. Quick question. I'm thinking of studying physics with the OU. Would you say 26 is too old to start studying and then pursue a career in the field? Thanks man.
Phd people have no soical life experience
No ones going to talk about the perfectly imitated kill Bill's intro?
"What is a PhD is REALLY like (at Cambridge and in the life sciences)"
Im sure their degree is parallel to their beauty
im a 13yr old and i know this is that normal
