As an academic journey, pursuing a PhD is fraught with challenges and uncertainties, often leaving students feeling isolated and overwhelmed.
The focus of the video is on developing a mindset and approach conducive to thriving in a demanding academic environment. It emphasizes the importance of resilience, adaptability, and the strategic pursuit of knowledge. Key topics include how to effectively manage relationships with supervisors, the value of consistent progress tracking through visual tools like graphs and tables, and the crucial habit of regularly soliciting and incorporating feedback.
Particular attention is given to the often overlooked soft skills that are vital for PhD success. This video explores the psychological aspects of PhD studies, such as dealing with impostor syndrome and the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
By the end of the video, you should have a clearer understanding of what it takes to excel in a PhD program and how to leverage your own strengths and resources to become part of the elite 0.1% of successful doctoral candidates.

The first thing to avoid is social media
you are your biggest enemy
100% True
How did you see this video then?
@@ambrosekola4011 the message is clear
This man’s shirt game goes crazy, I love it!
It was golden when the commercial hit right in the middle of you saying: "don't get side tra..." ^^
3:35 Brings a painful memory😢. I was isolated and didn't speak to people for months.
Words very fitly spoken!! Thank you so much for this! ❤
EXCELLENT VIDEO, ANDY !!!
Thanks, Andy!
Beginning my doctoral journey in August. Thank you for these videos.
Thank u very much!
I don’t think I could stay in my program anymore, not by choice. I ran into points 2-4. Very good advice. I finally came to understand these points. I was too young and inexperienced when I started. Sidetracking, isolation, freaking out for having little data, couldn’t tell until a lot later that my initial experiment was meant to not work. I lacked the social support network with people who have the knowledge of the area of study and know how to navigate the situation. I pushed so hard and got very little.
Even now, though I know what to do for things that has happened, I am not confident that I’ll be able to know how to take on the challenges to come, like the writing. I didn’t know what I was getting into. I think I would have been a bit better if I had your video as an orientation.
Great video
0:25 I still use positive and negative controls for routine tasks such as genotyping. You just never know when your bands invert.
Dude, you are my hero. One video during my lunch break, and I am killing it.
Love that shirt!
I am proud of you Andy! What a video! This 8:58 long video can save people from suffering immeasurable for years
I have learnt lots from you. You have lots of material! The thing is that I have a different type of learning, by necessity. And as Scientific Writing is a big area, I wanted to know if it's possible to schedule a 1-on-1 30 minutes session to better orient into the next actionable steps.
I already watched like 6 of your videos, and have quite the set-up. I have many theories validated, but if I only had someone by my side it would be better. But just as you said, that's the creative part. So its okay to write like that
Thank you so much for posting these. I always come away feeling a little inspired and (re)motivated. It’s like a reminder to manage the business of my PhD journey, not just focus on the research. (Always focus on the research haha)
Good advice: “Embrace the uncertainty [and] don’t wait”, “don’t be resistant to feedback”.
Italian PhD Candidate here, thank you very much for your advices! They are really helping me going through my research journey!
Same here!
You speak good English
Holy cow!! A non-AI video!
Lol... ... you missed the key point, that AI when it grows up, will help you beat the crap out of your lazy supervisor : )))))))
Don‘t chase failure…. Sage advice
During my DBA, my supervisor is superb in providing me very objectives feedback, it help me to zero in & solve problem that I never think is feasible. For my PhD I have the luxury of 4 supervisors, each of them is superb - their diverse backgrounds help me to nail the research proposal within 4 months. Be humble and willing to unlearn and relearn.
I always plan assuming failure so if crap hits the fan i can move on to the other options. Alos the lack of a significant result is still a result.
Only exception is health and safety if you are not trained in something ask any avaliable lab manager to train you up to make sure you caj do the thing safely. Dont try equipment you know nothing about if you where not trained. It could result in an deadly mistake or an exoensive one. But with that its take the darn initiative and ask for the training. (I working my PHD in disease mycology with diseases that can kill me or another person if i screw up lol cant be infected but the toxins they produce are deadly if breathed in or ingested in large enough quantities so i take that stuff with great caution but still move forward)
Hey Andy, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
Hello Andy, how would you handle the situation where supervisors steal student's idea's for their own private benefit (i.e. starting a company, or use the idea for their own company)?
I think not side tracking is a bad advice. I understand it is a good advice to finish your phd but to do good science you should side track all the time. This is a difference between a good scientist and someone who does good science. A good scientist will easily get their phd but their output is more likely to be a derivative of a derivative of an idea
Amazing t shirt
Want to do but can't due to family problem
