Idea for a video: I sometimes feel like your advise is a bit narrowed to your field (biology, I think?). It would be cool if some day you could invite academics from other fields and have them compare experiences ir something. Im particularl, I'm thinking of theoretical sciences, where there are no experiments, just a lot of math. You talk a lot about experiments, experiments going wrong, etc and as a computer science PhD student, I cannot always easily transfer that to my experiences.
Hey Andy , I am a regular person who follow and watch your videos most of your videos really help me but m not science background so sometimes please make general videos for who are different field e.g intentional relations or political science or economics 😊
I got tag teamed by the two PIs, they played good cop/bad cop with me. The guy was nice and wanted to know details about my previous work, while the woman jumped in aggressively every 5 minutes or so with the basic WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN THIS LAB. WHAT ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS. I needed a double shot of rum after but I got the job :D
I got asked a really tricky one earlier this year, it was something along the lines of: "Youre a promising candidate for this position, but that goes both ways- you'd be joining us at a top institution and university, so why should we wait (4 months) until you are available to start?" I really didnt know how to answer it without coming across as too overconfident...
@@lumbiyoDscientist My answer was something along the lines of 'I'd hope that my experience and skills are enough to convince you that even though I might be starting later, I'd be productive enough when I do start to be able to justify the wait'. I didn't end up getting the position though so take that with a grain of salt 😆
Not the warm fuzzies ☠️☠️ no but really thank you for this because I would have gone into the interview talking about my star sign and my love of cats if they asked me about myself.
Thanks Andy for posting this video. Such an apt time for me since I am finishing my PhD soon. I do have a question, do you think it is a turn off for the potential employer if one wants to potentially consider pregnancy during the post-doc period?
Andy, any experience doping ZnO with Al for transparent electrodes? Seems the conductivity of ZnO is a little too high for some high speed applications. half joking
During my REU I watched a postdoc interview. The PI would ask a question mute himself and put his hood on. Wild experience
😂😂😂😂 He probably thought he was the cool boy in the room
I love how you humanise those academic creeps - sitting there catching warm, fuzzy feelings down there. 😆

Enthusiastic...eeew, Happy, excited not words I associate with my PhD. 😅 I will need to try hard.
Hey Andy -great stuff as always. Please review the new GPT-o1!!!
with only 5 runs per day?
@@monsieurene3366 50 per week. It’s currently the most advanced multimodal LLM system in the world, limited use is to be expected due to high costs
Thank you! These are very helpful tips 🙏🏼

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!
Great video!

Please how did you answer this?

Don't mention it - it is none of their business! Best of luck with your family planning - how exciting for you.
@@DrAndyStapleton Thanks Andy! yea, I have been watching your post doc videos, I am feeling rather stress, about the post-phd situation.
🎉🎉🎉 good good good ❤❤
