    Can you please do a video about how neurodivergent people e.g. people with ADHD can survive a PhD as many qualities of a good PhD candidate can be contrary to our strengths but some neurodivergent people seem to survive the process, so please interview them and tell us the qualities they had that allowed them to survive the process despite their neurodivergence.

    1. Reading
    2. Doing (learning from mistakes )
    3. Analyse

    I'm not doing academic research per se but I was stuck in doing some research for work and this video was really helpful. Thank you!

    In my opinion:
    1) Work on data analysis separately and let results speak for themselves. After that come back to the writing. *Don't do both at the same time.*
    2) Even if you write very well, *if you don't have results YOU GOT NOTHING.*

    There was an article years ago in EDN about one of the most productive of electronic IC developers (Jim Williams IIRC, or maybe Bob Wildar), who would write up his articles, documentation and application notes even before the (expected) results were in so that when his new integrated circuit came out from the fabrication and was tested, he just needed to plug the graphs into the papers and publish (usually he was right).
    The idea of pre-writing the narrative can help in clarifying gaps in many ways, including 'lack of time later' !

      Yep, though this would only works with deductive research. You could do some pre-filing for inductive, but wouldn't be much different from the typical way people write their papers.

    • @philipoakley5498
      @philipoakley5498 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Heyu7her3 In some ways, doing that (pre-writing) forces you to face the consequences of the expectations, and perhaps a few of the alternatives.
      It is easy to fall into the trap of doing scrappy notes, and only after the 'results' try writing the polished summary (and potential analysis paralysis at both ends).
      Insights from others welcome!

      You still gotta be able explain what it is (area) and why it matters, even if you stall on your specific results and techniques, but rather focus on what your study has identified of the works of others (think of that as magician's misdirection;-).
      Only the practised magicians tell you how their trick works and still fool you. Just make sure your doing the magician's showman part, and work out who/what is the 'distracting assistant' ;-)

    As always, great video and I will make Suresh's words mine. This one is specifically great and is already in my favorite list.
    I dropped out of a Management PhD program and I intend to apply for others at the end of this year. As an international student I felt negative confidence about my English writing skills and I feel terrified of the thinking of having to write from the get go. But even though your advice to start writing before thinking I am writing is kind of obvious, your example of start writing parts of the study completely addressed my question of "How the hell do I do this??" in a effective manner.
    And the anxiety reference for breaking down big questions was PERFECT!!! 😂

    Can you please make a video about how the phd applications are evaluated during the initial admission process

    • @Heyu7her3
      @Heyu7her3 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think anyone would know the exact process unless they were one an admissions officer. But I would imagine it's similar to the evaluation process of masters and undergraduate admissions where interest/ research match, resumé/CV, grades, and test scores are harshly critiqued. They need to quickly triage the applications to get the 5% or so applicants that they invite to interview.
