thank you. wonderful information.
Thank you so much for this video I have my interview next week for masters in pharmacology and Physiology. Pls when explaining the methods can I talk about how I grouped the animals and what was given to each group? I studied the effect of a plant extract on gentimicin induced nephrotoxicity on wister rats. Or can you tell me how best to explain my methods. Thank you so much!!

Sure, Mary. But don't dwell on it too much. You may talk about the study design in a sentence or 2. I'd typically approach this as if I'm writing an abstract. E.g "We induced wistar rats with gentamicin to induce nephrotoxicity and subsequently randomized the rats into 4 groups. Afterwards, we tested the dose-dependent effects of xyz methanolic plant extract on ameliorating nephritis via weekly intraperitoneal injection while using the vehicle as control." This gives a good idea of your study design. Then you can follow it with what you measured and where. "After 8 weeks of treatment, we measured abc and xyz in the kidney" of rats as primary markers for nephrotoxicity using HPLC and ELISA" That's your whole methods in 3 sentences. Then jump into the important results as described in the video. Good luck. I am rooting for you to excel!
Thank you for this vital information, Sir.

Hello Emmanuel. Apart from hard skills specific to your field, you may also find soft skills very useful during this discussion. I talk a little bit about some soft skills here kzread.info/dash/bejne/iGR_rptwf5e2e8o.html We also have a post on soft skills needed in academia on our social media accounts. instagram.com/bestman_academy/
Thank you for this insightful video. It is indeed very handy at this time. However, I am preparing for a short presentation of my research experience to the lab during my Ph.D. interview process, should I create a PowerPoint for it or just discuss it without a PowerPoint? Thank you.

Good question! No, your experience doesn't have to be lab-based. Regardless of your field of research , organize your response according to the structure presented here. I understand I tend to use the word "lab" a lot due to my Biomed background.

You may try to get some volunteering experience in a research group. Depending on the field, you may be able to get into a Master's program with little to no research experience.
