Stop sending tons of emails to Profs.

Most go straight to the bin.

There's a better way to approach profs for PhD & postdoc positions

Here's a 5-step strategy I wish someone had shared with me when I was contacting profs:👇

I spoke with yet another scammer today. I don't know why I do this, but here we go.

It all started with a few annoying Whatsapp messages trying to scam me. But we ended up wishing each other good luck 😂

What appears to be blatant use of AI to help write a research paper.

What's more troubling is the it just looks like the peer review process rubber stramped it and it wasn't read before publishing.

I hope there's more to the story, but it's troubling when my YT videos get more peer review than actual research papers.

Note: I found the article online and verified this is the exact text:

"Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:"

[Andrew Akbashev @Andrew_Akbashev]

Yes, as a PI, you can publish more papers by pushing your students/postdocs really hard.

But NO, those extra papers will not improve your life.

▫️

They will only make everyone unhappier:

- Your team members will feel burned out and depressed.

- Journal editors will get another manuscript that no one is willing to review.

- The poor reviewers will have to review a manuscript they don’t care about.

- Fewer researchers will want to stay updated on your research as the quality and depth of the papers decline.

- Finally, YOUR well-being will suffer, as health issues and stress could outweigh any benefits gained from your 'extra push’.

▫️

Instead of pushing your students (and yourself) into becoming paper generators, try this:

- Focus on the quality and depth of research

- Let your students lead their projects, be curious and more passionatve for science

- Publish less so that your readers become more interested to read EACH of your papers

▫️

Robert Solow, the Nobel laureate in economics, once said:

"I estimate that if I had neglected the students, I could have written 25 percent more scientific papers. The choice was easy to make and I do not regret it."

▫️

By neglecting your students, you neglect the community and science.

And yourself.

@Andrew_Akbashev Much needed tweet, Thanks.
That pressure of constantly being super productive during your Ph.D. journey doesn't work well (atleast for me). Some days are most productive, others aren't but overall it's a fun road to walk along.

"Every time you ask your parents to spend money on things that are not necessary, they have less for what is necessary."

A beautiful lesson by @karthikrangappa on the value of money from the 2nd episode of @ZerodhaVarsity Junior. This lesson isn't just for kids but for adults as well.

For everyone with kids, this is a fantastic family watch this weekend.

HiNa’s latest comments on #sodium ion #batteries

1. Since 2023, industry has started to cool down, moving from hype into reality;

2. Now, the performance of SIB products not as good as many claimed, price not as low as hoped, scaling-up not as quick as expected. #battchat

[Ankit Dev Singh @wanderwithdev]

@Andrew_Akbashev Completely agree - as i approach final phase of my PhD i can relate how important these points are.
