    Your channel is amazing, I will start a PhD in molecular dynamics to study VGLUT, but I would like to study more topics related to computational neuroscience as well, and your channel is like a guide that walks us through, thanks a lot!

    I'm glad I was able to search for your video today! I'm a psychology transfer student with a very mixed background, and in the future I plan to develop another new field: neuroscience (but I'm not sure if this path is right for me). After seeing your video, I was very excited and realised that maybe my dream could come true! Of course, I will modify it to suit my situation, but I really appreciate your help! Looking forward to watching your next video.

    Hey Charlotte, could you offer insight into study groups or student networks where people can drop in and have a discussion on what they're studying/working on??

    Hi, thank you very much for your videos! I'm curious what were the backgrounds of your classmates in your master's? Were there any non usual ones, as opposed to physics/maths/biology/etc.?

    Heyooo! Any tips for someone with a background in chemistry planning on going into neuroscience/computational neuroscience? What areas will chemistry expertise better apply to or prove an advantage? You hear a lot about physics, maths, CS, biology and psychology students going into neuroscience but as always the chemists don't get much love :').

      Truetrue! 100% it is used in the research on neurotransmitters, drug developments and for example neurotoxicology, but these are not really my fields ;)

    Would it ever be possible to have a chat with you about being a PhD student? I've just started my second year and it's all so overwhelming...last year I suffered from not getting any results and it's hard to admit but it really broke me down to the point where I was thinking about really bad things. It would be a gift to receive guidance, I am kind of alone in this process.

    Hi! I’ve been very intrigued with the idea of working as a computational neuroscience researcher. I am a young adult and just started college. I’m working towards my associate of science right now, but I’m not sure where to go next. I have little to no extensive background in these fields (other than simply being better at math and science in high school). I want to contribute to figuring out how the brain created consciousness.
    I want to start working towards this goal in my free time as well. My main idea is picking up some programming at home. I’ve also been trying really hard to get a job that’ll provide me some skills and experience useful for this kind of future. I haven’t had luck though. I feel pretty directionless, and I struggle with self discipline, but this is something I really want. What can I do?

    Hi, I really appreciate your amazing videos! They introduced me to the fascinating world of computational neuroscience and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m currently a bachelor’s student majoring in linguistics and computer science (though my GPA is not very impressive) and I’m curious about the cognitive aspects of language. I wonder if you could recommend any schools or programs that focus on the neuroscience of language with a strong computational component. Thank you so much! I don’t have any background in neuroscience, so I hope you can suggest some programs that are open to students from other disciplines and suit my interests. I don’t mind where they are located (I’m from Asia, so I’ll have to travel far anyway).
    Thank you!

    Hi Charlotte,
    I wanted to share a bit more about my background and seek your advice. I’m originally from Brazil, now living in Argentina for the past 8 months. I have a degree in Information Systems and worked as a UX Designer for several years, but recently I’ve shifted my focus to Python development.
    I’m now looking to transition into Neuroinformatics, building on my technical skills while pursuing a meaningful career. Do you think pursuing a master’s in Neuroscience is the best route, or would going back to college for a related degree first be more beneficial? Do you recommend any college? I can move to another country, but I would have to pursue a scholarship.
    I’d love to hear your thoughts and any advice you might have for someone starting this journey.
    Best,
    Daniel

    I laugh because I have so many of the same books as you. I have gotten to the point where I am able to identify subject(s) the author(s) did not specialize in. And I code to recreate the figures in books now. I'm not in a phd program, but I should probably get into one since I'm obsessed with this field and the brain.

      Yes, on this website I talk a bit more about this: www.charfraza.com/. But for the channel I want to keep it relatively light and accessible. But maybe for the end of this year Ill make a video on the top 20 papers of this year that I read :)!

    I am currently graduating from NTUA school of Applied Mathematics [5-years programm / integrated Masters / my thesis is on Deep Learning ] and I am interested in Computational Neuroscience. Do you have any recommendations on how to start a project involving the Brain & Deep Learning [Signal and Image Analysis]? I would really appreciate any kaggle notebook....
    Additionally, is there any PhD programm you could recommend for me?

    I am already coming from a interdisciplinary field which is biomedical engineering and as a fresh graduate trying to get into another interdisciplinary feild, I find it so overwhelming. What do you recommend for a person like me, how can I pick 2/3 things and focus on them while already being all over the place?? Personally I don't mind being a jack of all trades but it leaves me lost most of the time. Also do you recommend any institution for graduate studies?

      I would find a professor or lab that you like to work with and track their science career and see if you can make similar decisions as they did, to get to where they are. Best of luck!

    Hi Charlotte, do you use SQL in your PhD as well? I've been thinking about starting a PhD in computational neuroscience / data science but want to somehow incorporate learning better SQL skills into the picture.
