this makes some of the stress go away. I'm not a phd student, 2nd year in undergrad that just switched to cs, and I have been thinking of doing a phd later on and started worrying about getting research experience in undergrad. I go to a relatively small university and there aren't many opportunities for stuff like research assistant or whatnot. I think I'm gonna have to just wing it and hope grad-school admissions will show me some mercy
Yes, I would try to get in contact with university professors at your smaller university, as maybe they would have some good connections that can help you further. I think the most important at this stage is to try research out for a couple of weeks, such that you do not commit to a full time PhD and end up not liking it. Good luck with your studies! 🧠
Best of wishes to you Charlotte. I wish your manuscript will be accepted soon. You demonstrated an easy-going character, in this video, showing some helpful strategies, which acts as a relief to your viewers who also pursue their phds. 🎯
Thank you for your video; you provided many useful tips. I agree with you that perfection is an obstacle to writing and improving your work. For some reason, it is very common that when you study your bachelor's degree, professors expect assignments with zero mistakes. I think this doesn't respect the natural process of learning. I would also like to add that it is always very challenging for us, non-native English speakers, to write a paper, so we need new strategies for our learning process.
Thank you so much...I've been struggling so much with finishing my PhD thesis, mostly because I felt I wasn't ready to advance to the writing stage...your tips helped me realise that - contrary to what my inner editor keeps trying to rell me - I am indeed ready to get started!!!
PhD can be enjoyable, that's what I have grasped from your video. Such a great video. 1st year PhD student. Thank you for all the great information 🙏❤ Couldn't agree more with the last Stephen King quote. 🎉
I love your videos! You give me hope that greatness isn't degree-related, it's innate to us as humans, and achieved through hard work. If you are ever in the Perth region, hmu.
Where do you publish your research papers? How do you maintain relevance? How do you deal with new known technologies and or old unknown technologies? Do you monetize and or get money for your research papers? Who pays you for your research papers?
I am a 4th year PhD student. To people who are getting frustrated after watching this video: To produce results and 1 figure a day, your research has to reach to a certain level. And even if you worked very hard, sometimes you may generate one publishable quality figure in 1 month, but that is completely fine, if you are in the right track.
At the beginning of this video (and for a few seconds), it shown Charlotte used a white board behind her computer to jolt down ideas & figures. Is this a common practice to write down key temporary ideas or using a note pad is more systematic & efficient. Currently writing my first paper. What is the most efficient way to assemble key ideas from different papers I am reading (so that I won't forget where the ideas came from & cite the source properly in my paper). I don't use Notion or equivalent. Still relying on assembling info & data, with active links, in word/excel documents.
what is most popular advanced topic in computational neuroscience in these days. I finished my PhD 20 years ago and want to do research in this field again
Computational neuroscience has evolved a lot in the past 20 years! Some popular advanced topics these days include simulating brain data through neural networks, using machine learning for prediction of mental states, etc. It's an exciting time to get back into research!
How the heck do you go about coding a model of hippocampus neurons? Like how do you code a model of the physical structure that somehow encodes memories? I don't need a perfect answer I just want an idea of where to start, or atleast some related information.
How do u find new papers in your area? Do you just search on pubmed for specific key word every week? Or do you have a massive backlog on papers in general? I also told myself back in my PhDs years I want to read 1 paper a day, but honestly sometimes i spend 6+ hours in the lab. Since I am a postdoc its a little bit easier but for sure not every week.
My many source is actually twitter, as I follow a lot of scientists there and they usually tweet about their and related work. Furthermore, going to conferences etc. helps to see what the general trends are in the field. And finally when Im working on a topic I do a deep dive into the existing literature :). Good luck with your studies!
Thanks so much for your video. I'm currently writing my paper and I found I can't find proper references because I didn't take notes before☹, even though I have read lots of papers. What should I do now if I want to write the paper on a weekend?
Hello thank you for the video, actually i had a question about the figures, which tool do you use ? What about the colors for those figures how do you choose that because i read many papers where there are similar figures as you but yours seems more readable.
@CharlotteFraza thank you for your response 🙏 I have one last question could you recommend me a book of statistics where I could find which statical tests (Anova one way two way , chi test , alpha adjustment....) i should and in which conditions and thank you so much in advance .
Ok great.. Now how to do all of this while having ADHD😂 ? No I am serious, how to do it? All of the work I have done so far is in just 1 or 2 hours for which people take days or even months... I ask this specifically also because you are studying the brain... 🧠

same, i am sophomore too, but have you tried to ask your prof? i feel hopeless at the start but then you'll maybe get to know what the best you'd do

Thanks a bunch for all those tips and recommendations! 👏😄
I'm a civil engineer from Spain, trying to make his first steps into the urbanism academia
Thanks, helped alot, just started with my first paper..
I am a first year PhD student, cancer biology.
Great video! Looking forward to seeing more videos like this one.

Wow! Thanks for the video!
Exactly what I needed. 😃
Thank you for the tips! 1st year PhD as I need it just at the right time :))
Glad it was helpful!
I love your videos! You give me hope that greatness isn't degree-related, it's innate to us as humans, and achieved through hard work. If you are ever in the Perth region, hmu.
Perfect timing! Im writing my thesis during this holiday break!
Hahaha, yes I'm also writing during this holiday, hope you also have time to take enough breaks!
great video. Really love it
Thank you so much for this video. ❤

Hello thank you for the video, actually i had a question about the figures, which tool do you use ? What about the colors for those figures how do you choose that because i read many papers where there are similar figures as you but yours seems more readable.
I mostly use python packages, such as nilearn or seaborn, to make the figures :)

Hi...ma'am...good information...keep it up....which discipline do you do the research in?
Computational Neuroscience :)
#TXTM ❤
Is it Delphi in your window?
Humanities and social science need to write almost 6 pp. a day for complete a paper in a week. And read for 3 months before that jaja
