Professor you are absurdly brilliant! I am a Brazilian PhD student in mechanical engineering at the university of Miskolc ( Hungary)! I rarely give comments on RUclips but you deserve all my compliments for such competent videos which I have been following since August 2019! Congratulations! You don't have any idea how you help me with your videos... thanks, thanks thanks! You are a star ⭐
I've been doing my Masters and applying for PhDs during this period, watching your videos has massively helped with my productivity, motivation and frame of mind. Thank you so much Tara, you're a gem! :)
Thank you for sharing! Learning from my experience, the abusers are shaping the victims behaviours into another abuser. It’s the most common types of victims who have problems in recovery from the PTSD. The other types of the victims survive but they live in their threatened memorial as an injured rabbit. Those victims have strong self-efficacy who survive and transform themselves into the heroes. They’re caring and sharing and ambition to survive others. @Tara, You’re the hero 👍🏻💪🏻
Brilliant Brabazon, as always. Thank you for your professionalism, humor and sharpness. I'm on my sabbatical year and was extremely passive initially but now woken up....
I am in my second year of PhD program and my research involves sequential explanatory mixed methods approach where the first part is quantitative followed by qualitative. I was supposed to collect data from the university students by visiting each college in rural areas where internet is not available.. Hence made 1500 questionnaires in the form of hard copies and had kept ready. But this pandemic made all plans boom. Since the result of this first stage follows second stage, I cannot start second stage directly. Everyday is challenge since I am loosing time. Somehow I have managed to collect 450 samples from first, second, third circle friends, families and acquaintances from that place. I am just tired and most of the times I think whether I will finish this program and will go on hibernation after too much worrying. This video is awesome. Thanks for inspiring... Will go back to track.. will look for other alternatives. Thank you.
@@TaraBrabazonLegacyContent and an even bigger hug in return!!! You have me thinking on much lately. Many of us have existed within the same basic mindset for years - or even much of our lives - if something isn't broken - don't fix it. Well, if we are to get REAL - we can see just how much has been broken - delusions kept people feeling safe and content within their teeny bubbles (whilst atrocities were occurring in every area of the globe)... GOODBYE to the pre-COVID status quo - a new era dawns... Take us with you Tara, xxx
Great video, with some excellent points to go away and really think about. Some thoughts; People use the example of Newton because he is a giant amongst giants, one of the greatest scientists in history. Also, the bubonic plague killed somewhere around 10-30% of the population of England. Thus the example is far more likely to be used than that of Marie Curie, given that Marie is truly a giant, but Newton was one of those few who stand out as a giant relative to the other giants, and because the plague was so much deadlier than both of the world wars. Newtons achievments stand above nobel prizes (he died long before nobel prizes even existed, which is also worth noting), as being some of the most influenctial in the history of science. With that said, Leibniz should be considered as an equal genius to Newton, and derived much of the same material via a differen description and at almost the same time. In fact, when Leibniz wrote to Newton, Newton rushed to publication in order to ensure that he recieved the credit for being the inventor of calculus. Marie Curie was an amazing scientist and her life with Pierre Curie is a real life example of an adventurous love story of exploration cut short by tragedy. Her accomplishment of achieving a nobel prize in two sciences is truly outstanding, although it's worth noting that Pierre would most certainly have won the second nobel prize also if not for having been ran over and killed by a horse drawn cart. Also, why does nobody ever mention Emmy Noether in these contexts? She carried out work that is arguably more important to science than that of Marie Curie. There's more than just one female physicist (or, technically in this case, mathematician)!
Thanks for your wonderful reply BBoD. You are fab. I'm always wary of cross- historical comparisons. We end up sounding like an episode of Saturday Night Live. Yep that album in 74 was great, but the post-prog rock stage was epic :). Very few were educated during Newton's height. And there is a fair amount of controversy about his contribution, as you know. Marie Curie had to manage something Newton never experienced: sexism and xenophobia. As you know, she had difficulty enrolling in her doctorate because universities still excluded women from the programme, and being Polish in France at that time, was powerfully challenging. Also - as you've suggested here - Marie Curie's achievements get meshed and blurred with her husbands, even though Pierre joined her lab when the radiation research proved productive. Men rarely have to manage the mantra of "she was good, but her husband helped her a lot." :) That's why cross-historical comparisons are always dodgy :) I think thought that MC does offer a profound example - particularly post PC - that in tough times, with substandard conditions, and confronting a suite of social injustices - powerful work can be done. As you've said, comparing Newton as 'a giant' with the productivity of a PhD student during Covid - doesn't quite work. Thank you for your wonderful words and support. You are fab! txxx
Hi, Tara that quote about productivity of women and men, I am interested in the generalisation. Did the study compare White women with African Americans or with African men or with Asian men (in all its varied classifications) or was it conducted using white men as the general measuring unit ? Thanks for your vlogs
Great to hear from you, Benedict. I'll go back to my notes, but from memory - race was not a variable that was measured. It was binarized gender :) And your point is a great one - wow we need more complexity in this discussion. Thank you for your incredible support, Benedict. And I'll go back and just check my notes now in case I reified the argument ... txxx
Might have to disagree with you on keeping going when things are horrendous. If I had carried on with my Degree I woul have put my health in a detrimental place when I had just come through the worst of my breakdown. The sheer relief when My Dad contacted the OU to inform them I was not well enough to continue and would they take my details off their system and contact him when they had.
Hi Rachel - decisions are always good decisions - whatever the outcome. I think the challenge we have Rachel is that the workplace and life is consistenty dreadful, unpleasant, difficult or horrendous. Health must always be the priority. But the problem is - people have to pay their bills and be in work. So we are frequently choosing between two or three or ten dreadful options. Survival is the profound challenge for so many. Therefore - how we keep moving - hopefully forward - in dreadful times? That's the rub. All my hopes and best wishes to you xxx
Thank you. I Love watching your Vlogs as I always get something from them , specially your 10 tips for resilience. That was great and I turn to it regularly. All The Best to you and Your PHD folk. I admire them I really do.

Ha! I am from Hungary and I am a PhD student in the USA. How is Miskolc?
I feel the same!
You are the motivator we all need. Thank you!

Tara, you are a gift. I could listen to your clarity and encouragement all day. Thank you.
WOW! Thank you Dean. Thank you so much. Incredible......best wishes from South Africa.

I am super happy to listen to Prof.Tara Barbazon. So inspiring.

Loving this productivity advice! #RisingToBe #AsWeRise #Riser #KeepRising #ImARiser
Thanks for motivating me today not to quit on myself.
Robert Hooke..love it. Thanks for the bright spot in my day.
Great vlog as usual, just brilliant ☀️
TB - You are leading 'change'!
Thank you superstar - you are so wonderful. Biggest hug xxx
