  How to make research labs more creative. A shout-out to the MSc-course that I taught, where this is one of the topics that was discussed. Please let me know in the comments if I forgot something that works, and I hope you find this video useful, irrespective of if you are a PI, postdoc, PhD student, student or staff member.

  Thank you for the video! I have an interview in 2 days and I'll try to implement your advice as well as I can. One question I have thought about is "do you usually (or have plans to) collaborate with other groups from the institute?" I'm an astrophysicist and multimessenger astronomy/astrophysics is very in vogue now.

  As usual, a pleasure to hear your useful advices. I think another area of research where one can be(come) quite creative is in the writing. For example when you're editing your draft to make it more concise and engaging, re-phrasing/re-structuring text. Stephen Heard has wonderful writings about that. Thanks

  Thanks! People just use R to produce the graphics. But there are tools people have used to help in the paper screening, you might want to check out a recent paper by James Orr in Ecology Letters if you are interested. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/ele.14463

  This is very helpful thank you for making these videos. In regards to talking about fit with the institution, what do these slides tend to look like? Are they mainly bullets? And how fleshed out should potential collaborations be?

• 
  @mrillig18 күн бұрын

  Thanks. Yes, these can just be bullet points; or if you have a graphical representation of where your research is headed, you can also add this in there (the names of collaborators). I wouldn't put a fleshed out collaborative program in there, but I would think about these if this comes up. Nothing is more lame than putting someone on a slide as a collaborator, and then drawing a blank when that person asks a follow-up. So: make sure this has substance! :)

  Thanks for bringing a positive and helpful contribution to KZread academic content. It seems many people who post academic videos on youtube are fueled by anger over bad experiences or try to offer cheat-codes and hacks rather than just provide honest, solid advice for doing good work and succeeding. Highly Recommended!

  Thanks! Really helpful! I got a question, what do you think of if I got 2 rejections from the first journal? First rejection: When 3 reviewers comment back. Second rejection: When I went through and answered each comment, the editor sent a second round of reviewing process (another 1.5 months), but the editor still rejected it currently. In the editor's email, he still welcomes to resubmit, like resubmission of a thoroughly revised manuscript may be considered. I am confusing, is it good for resubmit it again or change to another journal? What are you going to do this?

• 
  @mrillig24 күн бұрын

  It's impossible for me to make useful comments on individual cases. At any point, if reviewer comments seem unreasonable, we just go to another journal. If you want to stay with this journal, you can keep submitting there until it is either accepted or rejected for good. It is unusual to encourage resubmission after rejection twice (in my field), but I guess it can happen...good luck with your paper.

  Hi, your videos are very helpful. I have a query: If someone has to choose between a top 10 QS-ranked university with challenging work outside their PhD field and a 100-200 ranked university with work that fits their expertise, which should they go for? How important is the university's ranking for future postdoctoral opportunities?

• 
  @mrillig27 күн бұрын

  Hi, thanks. It depends on what you want to do with your postdoc. Do you want to apply the things you learned during your PhD to a new field, or do you want to go deeper in the field you've already worked on. This is something that you need to answer for yourself. Top-ranked universities can offer better career prospects (it's what I chose back then), but it needs to fit with your plan and your abilities.

  Synthesizing the ever-growing academic literature is an important skill in academia and science in general. Most will know about narrative reviews and meta-analysis; but perhaps systematic mapping is a less well-known option. In this video, I explain the difference among these three approaches, how a systematic mapping is done, and what you can do with the results. Have you heard of this? Have you tried this out? Please let me know in the comments! 😀

  My postdoctoral interview was rather short. I asked and his response: ‘I only fund foreign postdocs. If you want to join the lab do some research and put together a two to three page proposal for an individual postdoctoral grant along with you CV and a short summary of your thesis research’. A week later my hear my advisor given a reference over the phone and 10 minutes later about setting up time to start flushing out a grant. I learned a lot about how to think about science and why it is a good idea to have a firm understanding of the concepts of evolutionary biology.
