Thanks for the advice! Really interesting to hear that 2 to 3 publications is the standard for master's students over there! My experience in Europe has been different, you are lucky to get one!
@@FancyScientist I guess that's how I interpreted it at 3.15 when it says "two to three is more typical". I am writing my thesis right now and hopefully I can get one at the very least!
@@markdamaniac6041 Get as many as you can that make sense for your study. For my PhD, I got 3. That is definitely normal because we have 3-4 chapters. Masters do have 2-3 chapters, but I think 1 or 2 is more typical. If you can get 2, go for it!
I commented that I turned 17 two years ago. My phone auto corrected and meant to say that two days ago. I e been studying wildlife biology since I was 4.
tell me what are the effects in the food chain if there is an abundance of food at the bottom ??? (the mice plague) Australia. will this not cause a wave upward into the chain increasing the population of other forms of life that live off the ones at the bottom??? Would make an interesting study and we are witnessing it happen in real time so it can be studied with empirical evidence.
It's best if you can figure out what you want to do so you can really narrow in on that to become competitive. Here's a video I did on that. If you need help send me a message at stephanie@fancyscientist.com th-cam.com/video/nG8vfFPItks/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this advice! I need to build up my internship resume so I can get enough scholarships, I'm having serious trouble finding a professor that fits my niche, while also having a spot open/funding
I did not know you can jump straight to phd. How does it work to go directly to phd after a bachelor's degree? Thank you for all the info it really helps me and I am sure a lot of other people too!
Yes you can depending on the university and program. For example, at my university, the Biology department allowed you to do straight to PhD while the Fisheries and Wildlife department didn't. It works just like a regular PhD program. You apply and you go through all of the same steps as those who got their Master's first.
I'm debating whether to try and become a conservation officer or to follow the academia route. I will be completing my Bachelor's in a couple months and am lined up to start my Master's degree shortly after. Do you think a Master's degree would make me less competitive for a conservation officer position? Thanks!
Hi Trevor, I really don't know, but those are two very different career routes. Are you on Twitter? I suggest asking it as a question with the hashtag #sciencetwitter. Can you call someone at your state fish and game department? They would be better suited to answer.
Yes, definitely. Once you get to a Ph.D., you start to overqualify yourself. For fieldwork, I recommend a bachelor's only or a MS. I go into more detail about this in my book out next month: stephanieschuttler.com/book-on-wildlife-biology-careers/
Hello. My name is Liam. I’ve been studying wildlife biology for 13 years. I just turned 17 two years ago. I thank you so much for making this video.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it useful. That's awesome you've loved wildlife that long!
Thanks for the advice! Really interesting to hear that 2 to 3 publications is the standard for master's students over there! My experience in Europe has been different, you are lucky to get one!
You’re welcome! Did I say that for masters? That sounds high. I would say most masters students can get 1-2 publications from their thesis.

@@FancyScientist Thank you! I'll try my best!

Me as well friend
I can definitely see the value of the second network. Something to consider as I move forward, Thanks for doing this.
No problem! Yeah, it's something I thought about in retrospect. Networking is SO important in this field.
Thank you for the advice!!
Welcome!
What a fantastic, and helpful idea for a video!! 👌 👌 😁 Great work!
Thank you! I am so happy you liked it.
What are the scope after Msc in wildlife sciences ?

I like both wildlife and marine biology 🤔

I want to do this course but i am from nepal

Stephanie , is m.sc degree enough for field work?
Yes, definitely. Once you get to a Ph.D., you start to overqualify yourself. For fieldwork, I recommend a bachelor's only or a MS. I go into more detail about this in my book out next month: stephanieschuttler.com/book-on-wildlife-biology-careers/
@@FancyScientist thanks ❤
Can I have your insta or E. Mail to ask about master degree in wildlife ... I hope for your reply
THANK YOU !
I have completed my bachelor's in botany
