    My name is Jessica and I’m a research scientist researching emerging contaminants in environmental samples. I previously carried out a PhD at the University of Aberdeen in the field of marine natural products chemistry. I started my RUclips channel to document my journey in research and to offer my advice to other students. Thanks for stopping by!

    Congratulations Dr! I’ve got my Viva on Monday and I’m stressing! I also started a new job and worried about the corrections and the time i might be given!
    It was reassuring seeing you go through this as well. Thank you for sharing :)

      Thanks so much! Best of luck with your viva today, I’m sure it’ll go super well :-) please let me know how it went! There are a few months to get the corrections done, I was in a rush because I wanted to graduate in summer but it didn’t work out that way in the end as my dad needed surgery so I will graduate finally at the end of the month! Good luck again :)

      @@drjessicagomezb I did. it was an amazing video. its usually a struggle switching fields. i felt somewhat out of place at my work when i just started. I am doing my research in inorganic synthetic chemistry and work in research in Radiation protection. there is a small area of intersection but as you said, its the skills that are relevant for work. look forward to more.

      Thank you!! Yes it’s been very challenging for me also, I feel like a beginner again or like a first year PhD student again 😅 but yes, it’s more about the skills you learn and using the skill of teaching yourself things too!! Which we often become very good at during a PhD 🤣

    I would like to hear of the other side of the research is there any presentation to be made to the company that sponsored you the decommissioning one? Is there any opportunity for patent work from your research? Perhaps you can take us through the Post Doctoral journey and how you transitioned into getting the current job? Also a bit of perspective of the research that you are doing now?

    Hey ! Dr. Jessica , can you tell me one thing, Is there any experiment to write a thesis paper? What different experiments are required for the different research publications that are done after the PhD thesis? 😊❤

    • @drjessicagomezb
      @drjessicagomezb  Год назад

      Hi Sourav, I’m not sure what you mean! Usually a paper is based on a series of experiments that you have already conducted and the results are good so you write a paper to share them with the wider scientific community

    Hi Dr.jessica mam, I am the new viewer of your channel, i want to become a scientist in the field of chemistry, I completed my 12th grade last year, now i joined in the college for bsc chemistry.. What are the ways to do PhD , and become a research scientist..?

    • @drjessicagomezb
      @drjessicagomezb  Год назад

      Hello! During your bsc it would be good to get some research experience by doing a summer placement or internship in a research lab at the university or within industry. Maybe your bsc will offer mini research projects also as part of the course which will be valuable for applying for a PhD later on. At some universities they will accept student directly after completing a BSc but other universities might require a masters degree. Good luck!c
