How can I get the PhD
Comment from : @abdallahmohamed8278

The most important thing in your PhD program is to make sure that you have a good and supportive advisor Once you miss this, you are doomed and also, do not try to manage or endure it once you are in, switch advisor if you can before it is too late

10-15 minutes thesis defense 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣brThe minimum is an hour
Comment from : @BlackSakura33

"You can do anything, but not everything" I really like that, and its so truebrI also want to echo how important your PhD Advisor / Supervisor (we call them advisors in the US) is to your success I have an amazing one, and i would have probably given up on my PhD if it weren't for them I have talked to other people who have terrible advisors and it makes their lives so much harder Don't be afraid to switch advisors to a professor you have a good relationship with It can 10x your success in the program and just make your happier I also really like point #13, that non-PhDs never relate to what you are doing I found it hard to talk about my progress with people who aren't familiar with the process Its a unique experience to be in a PhD and really most people won't be able to relate Also I wanted to share my excitement when I got something published, but the research papers I was reading and writing were too complex into my research topic for most of my friends and family to understand or even just appreciate the accomplishment

One of the most daunting things in the PhD is the imposter syndrome, especially at the early stages of the PhD
Comment from : @kabashialtahir8263

I’m just less than a month into my PhD I have been reading and rereading and even being overwhelmed and confused about the things I truly gotta do It’s all crazy, I have spoken with my supervisor and how much I want her to set a bit of deadlines for me she truly agreed I think I’m feeling a bit better nowbrThanks for the video too

Hi, thank you for sharing What do you mean by "organizing tour Code"? I also have another question I started to do literature reviews of articles and I don't find a better way to organize by just opening a new Word document and creating a folder organized by the last name of the authors I need to remember what the article is about and sometimes I can't find the review I think you were using some software called Mandeley? Can you or someone recommend a better way using also keywords? I am in humanities Thanks

This video couldn't have come at a better time I am currently preparing to apply for PhD programmes and even the process is so daunting, let alone the actual experience
Comment from : @zainabyounes2464

Could you do a video on your research journal, especially as someone working with code?
Comment from : @cathrinebaungaard

Thank you so much 💞 keep going 🙏🤩
Comment from : @nooral-huda

The big one for me is your supervisors matters! Their experience, their contacts, their interest in your research, and time I quit my phd during lock down for lots of reasons but I think the biggest was lack of support
Comment from : @5minutesofyourtime

the imposter syndrome is so real! it always feels like the other students in the program know more than you and it's almost debilitating! I am still working on it myself
