Comment from : @dralibeshara

Dear Ciara, I am just finishing my MA thesis, and I already tried to implement you advice of keeping track of what I do via a research diary (I use your notion template), but I find it really hard to stay consistent How do you manage consistency with the research diary?
Comment from : @lydiaexplains

Thanks for the informative video, How do you understand any new concept? How do you understand the difficult mathematics associated with any concept/topic you encounter in a research article? How did you came up with your research question/problem for your PhD?
Comment from : @MuhammadKhalid-jw1gd

To follow and or obey a religion not of your very own design and construct (if to be religious) is a mental illness

Hey there, thank you so much for the advice!brI started my PhD in April and although it's something I've been planing on doing the last 5 years, I suddenly lost my motivation and the spark I should have because of the pandemic I'm actually trying to make a plan and start fresh this September and you actually helped a lot!

Comment from : @shobhitkshatriya1045

Hey ! thank You for your valuable content! This was packed with practical information!brCould You make another video that would explain more about points : br- "Track your changes in research, make a note " - What Do You mean by that? Could You give some examples? Could You show Your system of both planning the work, and tracking the current stage of research? br- "Organise the papers you read" - How are You doing it ? How do You store files, and annotate them? How does it look like when it comes to both digital, and non-digital papers/notes brbrThanks for All ! I just found Your channel, and I enjoy it very much!

Comment from : @penncollins4963

I started my PhD earlier this year and this is so helpful I love the fact that you do some things analog, I find things are clearer if you write them by hand Please share your mental and physical health plan! I have somethings in place but I would be interested in knowing other people strategies to avoid burnout

Hey girl! I just want to say that this video has been really helpful to me I’m considering applying to a PHD program next year and I was browsing looking for insights on what it’s like and what to do in your PHD The tips in the video about planning and organizing are great and I can start using some of those now Definitely subscribing and thanks for the help
Comment from : @jenniferalysee6880

i have so many questions thinking of getting a phd in my field but trying to wrap my head around the schedule i dont think i fully understand what it works like are you able to break it down for me? is there room for other things during the day like family, and maybe work outside school wondering if that is possible or if its full on classes and researchno idea what to expect
Comment from : @chimmalambo5023

Thank you for this video I am in the first year of my PhD ( actually 4th month) I really liked the concept of keeping a research diary ( which I have to figure out how to do it ) and keeping folders to store the list of reference articles I stopped the video for a moment when you said ' PhD is a marathon not a sprint' to give time for these words to etch in my mindOnce again,Thank you
Comment from : @deenarosejoseph973

Comment from : @yikenicolezhang

I've never used Latex before, but I use Mendeley Is there a huge advantage of using Latex over the Mendeley plugin for word? Does Latex let you do more stuff?

Comment from : @carlosoberano2693

Sorry,brbrThat question should have read; 'Can you please tell me what the URL is for the video that the presenter did on how to write an abstract?'
Comment from : @hubertjudge4896

Can you please tell me what the URL for the video that the presenter did on how to write an abstract?
Comment from : @hubertjudge4896

What I mean by that is that the steps may help you with your physical & mental health
Comment from : @hubertjudge4896

One thing that may help is to aim to do 10,000 steps a day

Hey, congrats on the video! I'm on my second year and now a bit lost with the paths my research is taking so that's how I found your channel But these are indeed great advices for the first year!
Comment from : @mellsiciliano5259

I am very devastated this week, I fail in my first year PhD, and I just found this channel made me regretting what I was do in the past T_T , I wanna start again in next year, study in France truly hard , pain, I was identify my research well, I have clearly topic and what must do, but if the SPV gives the value in the low level education and low motivation according him is the end your journey in your PhD Hope I find another way to finish my PhD with another PhD SPV, keep spirit and keep healthy mental
