Thanks

Thanks! I definitely feel more prepared to take on a postdoc!

Hello, how can you envision a collapse of Academy because new PhD's wanted to massively go to industry???, How likely is this scenario?, Thanks!

I’ve watched a lot of PhD advices videos on youtube and you are by far the best advice around. Please don’t stop making videos

Thanks for all of your words! I really appreciate what you said!

I had Obama in mind and guess what you immediately you mentioned his name as a great speaker. Great video!

is it really okay at the beginning after the title page, talk about myself? e.g., where I came from, what i'm good at (e.g., language, music (outside of work), etc? I want to say I was born and grew up in xx country and I came to the US for phd..

thank you. i start to look for a postdoc position now. Your videos are very helpful for me!

Should I explain or add one or two ppts from the professor's work ? Or only focus on my PhD thesis?

Don’t do a postdoc. For that matter, don’t do a PhD. It is a total racket as somebody who has a PhD and postdoc myself but has gotten out of academia. I just cannot advocate that anybody in good conscience should pursue this route.

This seems a little specific to lab based sciences.

I'm going to be PhD grad in material sciences but hold just one first author and 1 co authored paper. How much do you think will this affect my application for an industry? Thank you

This is an excellent video I am presently pursuing a postdoc in the US and my contract for the visa renewal is going to end in 4 months and I don't want to continue in the same lab there are many reasons for slow publication, PI is toxic in short things aren't working fine shall I try another lab and will it be a negative impression for the lab that I am applying. Also I moved before from one lab (out of my field) to this lab, there I was for a year

would bve nice to show in on a powerpoint slides to see how it is goes for instance.,

I like all your video a lot

helpful thanks

How to convince the other PI why you wanna switch ?? Should you tell directly? Or make some different excuses that will not harm PI's image and your as well?? Im a PhD fellow, been 3 months only and my PI says on the result of my first experiment .. what are these image? Are these worth to publish?? Like its a new field for me and i am doing my best and i am getting result in my learning experiment...but he only finds the wrongs in it why it is over developed, why there is no cells , there is no progress and all...even though i can see progress in my work... How should i deal with it...

What's the criteria to select postdoc candidates for interview stage? I have a phD from an Egyptian university and have publications as well ? Am i have a chance to join postdoc in American or European university ?

Hi: guys. How difficult to get postdoc opportunity in North America? I just completed my PhD in bioinformatics. Thanks in advance!

Money?

Great video! ✨✨✨✨✨

Thank you so much

Thank you for sharing your insights. This is a nice video.

Yes. It happened to me and my wife during my PhD. Now I had finished my PhD at home (I had to re start) and I can’t find jobs here so I’m thinking going overseas again for a postdoctoral position … this is crazy I don’t know what to do.

Hi, nice to see you here on youtube

Can you please suggest how to get a postdoc position at Harvard and its affiliated institutes?

Thank you so much. Much needed this today. You mentioned the publication, should it be necessarily 1st author paper??. It's 7 months after I joined, and I got a paper as 3rd author, is it okay???.

Remember that doesn't apply to most of PhDs. He is talking about ideal world. Most PhDs get no help whatsoever.

Everyone responded to your emails? For me it has been 95% radio silence, maybe 5% "no" responses, none interested. Computational biology, 12 decent publications, top 100 PhD, but nothing yet for 8 months.

Supreme excellence in attaining highest academia position (a professor) consists in breaking the enemy's university academia system without doing any actual scientific work.

TIL my PhD was actually a postdoc.

PI = principal investigator = manages a research grant

Do: 1. Ask a lot of questions 2. Meet new people outside your lab, broaden horizon 3. Shadow 4.Read a lot 5. Find extra 1 to 1 time with PI.

Can you tell us about how to write a how to structure a concise postdoc research proposal of a one page length?

Thank you for your thoughtful advice

There are a lot of industry postdoc positions that allow to easily go back to academia. Genentech is a great example of this

I keep getting rejections by selected universities in which I saw unpleasant behaviors, every fridays. I was thinking if it could be a form of harassment as it demonstrates a pattern of behavior?

My biggest regret in life.

Funny. I do 2 usually but as an email not as a covletter. Still got nothing. A girl had a copycat of my cv just fewer qualifications and got the position as internal applicant and younger so less experience too. I didn't understand it. Some just hire younger for the sake of hiring. I have worked with great younger people or older so I don't get it and also bad of either. I don't think age determines how good you will be. Some are just looking to date 😂 in that case I'm glad I didn't get hired.

Thank you for sharing this video 👍

Sir, Very good information but I , believe the role of Creative Mentor is crucial in guiding, P D, student in respects. In experience by adopting, A, B , C , D , analysis, formula guided by my mentor, Dr. P. S.

Thank you for your amazing content! A PI said to me something like: "I currently do not have funding for a Postdoc position but would be happy to support you finding funds." What should I do?

I couldn't thank you enough for your great video!

Simple: Do look out for other career paths. Don't plan on staying for more than 5 years, max.

Thankyou so much 💓 they are really great points

Thank you for the great video!

Some will only leave academia feet first and dead.

Hi! I have just landed on your channel! I loved your video where you talk about transitioning from academia to industry. I would love to know more about your experience both as a postdoc but also as a postdoc transitioning to industry. Can I ask you an email or something? Thank you so much for your time! And amazing helpful videos!

Its really hard not to be intimidated by the PI and stay suffering, dont do that it will not get better
