[Andrew Akbashev @Andrew_Akbashev]

A common misconception:
‘To get a PhD, I need to be really smart.’

Nope. You just have to be genuinely curious.

I often hear students say they're afraid of a PhD because they feel 'not good enough' for it.

My experience is:

- You don’t need extraordinary skills to earn a PhD
- You don’t need to be a ‘walking encyclopedia’
- You don’t need to be a genius

❗ All you need is curiosity.

The curiosity that brings joy in exploring intricate technical details.

- Hard work is a by-product of curiosity.
- Exploration of literature is a by-product of curiosity.
- Your own vision for the field is also a by-product of curiosity!

The problem is that:

- There are advisors who likes ‘active doers', not ‘curious thinkers'
- There are bad & boring projects that misalign with natural curiosity
- There is a lack of mentorship that fails to nurture curiosity

Of course, all students are different:
Some PhD students are fast thinkers, others are fast learners or deep thinkers. Some require re-learning. Others need proper mentorship in their first year.

❗But there is NO fundamental flaws that should prevent 99% of students from getting a PhD.

PhD is just a degree.

You are ready for it if you feel curious.

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.
