Great video! I think kindness and openness of the scientists are quite important for science to develop. Which includes criticizing without being disrespectful, always be open to admitting one’s mistakes, and don’t take other people’s (negative) comments personally. I definitely think these overlap with “communication skills and the ability to take advice from supervisors” you’ve mentioned in the video! As an incoming phd student, I want to learn to do science, but also learn to be a good scientist. That is what I consider as “successful”! :)
Yes I agree. I have heard that PhDs are often neurotic which means they are self-doubting and self criticising which can lead to some negative outcomes I think but if you take that with some self-kindness and use negative comments as opportunities for improvement then you're on the right path!
Thanks for the video! I have been feeling a bit down about my work lately, and it has sadly affected my productivity. I think I have to go back to the purpose of my work and the "why".
There is absolutely no need to do PhD. People study to make money, and to earn well you don't need all these high level degrees. If you are interested in science, then you can be a great scientist without any PhD
@@sofiazhidkova9912 A PhD certainly is not necessary in a lot of professions, however there are certain professions in which you are literally nobody if you don't hold a PhD (mostly STEM subjects). You might be a great scientist without a PhD, however you are highly unlikely to find a job in your field of interest without the appropriate academic degrees and this is independent of whether you want to work in academia or in the industry.
This is an interesting topic of discussion. Arguably there is no *need* to go to college at all as you can still end up down most career paths or in a highly successful business without it. I think most people do a PhD because they want to push themselves with the most difficult level of academia that exists.

Good compliation. Thanks for your video.
Thank you !
loved this video! as a phd student with my own youtube channel you're really inspiring!!
That's awesome! Thanks you.

Yes I find returning to the motivation really helps, that's why I'm glad to have that as part of my Notion so I always have it handy!
Really amazing video!
I love the way you speak!
Thank you 😊
very informative. But the use of some infographics, or figures or some visuals would make the video more engageging.
Thanks for the suggestion

Ummm. No. Wrong.

I think this would be a good motivation to pursue research 👆
