Being a PhD student: Experiences and ChallengesFaegheh Hasibi
These slides provide some guidance to the prospective PhD students. The content reflects my personal experiences together with useful feedbacks I received from my colleagues/friends.
Making your research and teaching more efficient, transparent and impactfulJay Van Bavel
Science is hard and keeping up with the latest changes in technology and research practices can feel overwhelming. This workshop is designed to increase your productivity by making your research and teaching more efficient, transparent, and impactful. This will introduce you to a wide variety of strategies and technologies that you can employ in your work.
Where do good ideas come from? From having lots of lots of ideas, of course!
Here's a few pointers to jolt your brain so good, original thoughts start flowing out...
This presentation is a summary of the book "Six Thinking Hats" by Edward De Bono. In this method, each “hat” has its own, easy-to-remember color – white, red, black, yellow, green, or blue – that represents a certain type of thinking.

A short presentation explaining the basic differences between personal and academic research - used as the basis for a workshop and as an introduction to academic research for final year undergraduates.
If you have read my recommendations, you would see a common thread of an out-of-the-box thinker. To understand how I manage matching people and opportunities...this tells you how I am hardwired.
El presente documento constituye un resumen de la actividad desarrollada por el Programa TF Innova en el período comprendido entre mayo de 2008 y agosto de 2014.
El Plan Director del Programa TF Innova establece los objetivos y líneas de actuación del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife en el ámbito de la innovación empresarial y de soporte a la Investigación y Desarrollo (I+D) que se realiza en la isla.
Presentación del Proyecto MadeinLocal.com, ganador del Concurso Tenerife Emprende I+D+i como mejor proyecto de creación de empresas de base tecnológica (EBT) o intensivas en conocimiento. MadeinLocal.com es la red social para la vida local. Los consumidores pueden compartir sus recomendaciones sobre los comerciantes (restaurantes, bares, alojamiento y eventos) con su entorno, construyendo así una guía colaborativa para disfrutar al máximo de la vida local. MadeinLocal.com es un start-up cuya finalidad es unir en un mercado virtual a comerciantes y consumidores. ¡Desde TF Innova recomedamos este vídeo!
Presentación del Programa TFInnova y de los diversos Ejes y Medidas que lo sustentan en su objetivo de poner en marcha una estrategia de innovación orientada desde las actuaciones del Cabildo que fortalezca el sistema local de innovación y lo integre en los programas regionales y nacionales. Se presenta la Red AEDL+i como un proyecto pionero, el PCTT como infraestructura de I+D+i fundamental para generar una cultura innovadora en la isla de Tenerife y el apoyo del Cabildo en materia de Clusters.

4. A Life in Science Has Its Many Rewards
A. Anticipation of Experimental Results
B. Some New Challenges Each Day
C. Excitement Involved in the Outcomes
D. Sharing Ideas with Students and
Others
E. Feeling That You Are Contributing
5. What Will You Do With Your Life ?
Will you live to do a job, or do a job to live ?
6. Consider some long term
goals in science
• Teaching others
• Seeing the world
• Having a livelihood
• Leaving a legacy
• Making a difference
7. The Circle of Survival In Science
Pay Heed to It
Idea
*PR activities Preliminary Results
*Publication *Proposal /Plan
Results
*requiring help of others
9. Advice Point-Look around for something that is absolutely
new and work on it.
1. Nothing is known about it
2. It is related to a major problem
3. It has broad significance
4. It can be approached by you
10. The Birth of An Idea
(Identify the Problem)
1. By study and desire
2. By imagination
3. By contemplation
4. By association with other systems
5. Put the problem in your mind
and let it incubate !
13. Advice Point: When making an important /critical observation try
finding and using an independent experimental method that
corroborates your 1st observation. The data should match.
14. Scientific publication
1. Only about 1 person, on the average, will read your scientific
paper.
2. About 100 will read a review article.
3. Thousands will read a popular science article.
4. Therefore continue to build a body of knowledge that will make
you the expert in a field.
5. Is there a problem with this as it relates to life while at the
same time having good experience in science?
15. Doing Science Has Become a Group Effort
Doing Science in This Century Versus the Last
Examine the number of authors per paper in 1920 in Science
Examine the number of authors per paper in 2005 in Science
16. Form your own group of collaborators
Remember you will not be asked to collaborate
until you can offer something that others may
not have. Build a skill set and competence !!
17. Advice Point- Look for and find your own niche - then
build on it in a concerted and strong manner, being
patient and observant.
19. Advice Point –read
books on the
history of science,
science philosophy
and works of those
who have done
science.
20. Classes in Science: What can I say? There is something
perverse about our educational system that stifles the
imagination and creativity. Science is not facts or vocabulary it
is a process and method to make new discoveries. It is
important to think, to wonder and to be fascinated with all
things around us. Try to maintain a sense of fascination with
science.
21. General Behavior
1. Making comparisons – don’t do it !
2. Telling falsehoods- don’t do it !
3. Making failing promises- don’t do it !
4. Being egotistical- don’t do it !
5. Have realistic expectations- do it !
6. Be mannerly- do it!
23. Advice Point-don’t spend too much time in the library or at the
computer. Information overload can make you feel
insignificant and unable to anything that is new or useful.
24. Advice Point: Seek help from sagacious, experienced,
respected and knowledgeable peers
25. Advice Point- Remember some trails that you take and things
that you discover in science can literally belong to you (shared
with your institution and co-inventors). Intellectual property-
know about it. Here are some hints on how to proceed.
26. Keep you eyes open for things and processes that may have
potential usefulness to society. The patenting process is
recommended in order to gain ownership.
A.Filing a provisional patent
B.Company interest should be obtained
C.Filing a full patent
27. Advice Point- Put time into others things –family, hobbies, outdoor
activities, sports, keep a balance of perspective and don’t spend
too much time on one thing!! Eventually you may become non-
productive or be considered –odd!!
28. Advice Point- Develop a set of skills and
techniques and cherish them and expand on
them your entire life. They are the crux of
your ability to do experiments and make
conclusions.
37. Advice Point- Administration seems always to be calling, beware of its
insidious nature. It always seems that if it were you in that position you
could do the job better. It takes you out of science in most cases.
38. Advice Point: If your paper, grant proposal or patent
is declined-DO NOT take it personally. Take what is
good about the advice offered and make the
document better. Likewise be a good, kind and firm
reviewer!!
39. Despair: Don’t do it more than two minutes! If the positive result
doesn’t happen and you feel as if a frog has just slept in your mouth,
things will get better. Remember you still have your brain, your
hands and your heart. Get on with life-your greatest gift!
40. BEWARE: The person whose toes you trample today
maybe connected to the face or other bodily part you
have to kiss tomorrow.
41. On to New Ground- the Post Doc- Choose Wisely and
Consider the Following:
1. Ability to be mentored
2. Direction that you will be given
3. The employer and the situation
4. Funding level and ability to network
42. Most likely you will not end up at Yale. There will be some rough
roads at lesser developed colleges, universities and other
organizations. Accept the challenge. Make something where little
or nothing existed before.
43. Some Science Related Activities
(if you do well and become the expert)
• 1.Travel to scientific meetings abroad
• 2. Advice is sought by foreign govts
• 3. Advice is requested by USA agencies
• 4. Panels and grant reviews
