Own your PhD project: How to take charge of your research

Delft University of Technology PhD Event 18-11-2010

[@charlescheok4206]

Video published 2011. Presentation 2010. Still considered well presented after 9-10 years. Very motivated indeed by Dr IR. Niki Kringos. Doing a PhD after retirement is challenging. Googling Youtubing etc for pointers is available.. thank goodness for technology today.. Thank you Dr Niki. Completed 4 years bachelors part-time and currently in my 4th of 6 year Part-time PhD by research Program after 25 year break, your youtube video is a motivation.

[@DrDarvaishAhmed.]

What I learned during my phd experience is that to be HONEST with yourself, your lab mates and most importantly with your supervisor. PhD is a team work...

[@ljm0991]

as a 3rd year PhD student I think all these points are very relevant. I think I'll come back and watch this video a few more times just to keep all these ideas fresh in my mind!

[@HBKinky]

I'm disappointed with the amount of comments that are sexist and unrelated to the amazing, smart and insightful talk that she delivered.

[@joycenonhlanhlavilakati7161]

I find this very encouraging because it demystifies the PhD research by focusing on the issue of what is in it for the PhD candidate, .i.e. the added professional value this is for the candidate - not the examiners' signatures.

I wish I watched this video while still on my PhD...Until I owned my PhD, I was completely lost.

[@ImranKhan-dt2sr]

[@milanzlatkovikj463]

Great video. Very positive, motivating and also realistic. Very appreciated.

[@Biomeducated]

As a 2nd year PhD student/KZbinr in Biomedical Science (with 5 years biotech experience), many things sound soooooo familiar! Great delivery of her content, she is honest but still selling it! Fantastic video!

[@AquilaLiberum]

This was great, I've just started my PhD and am still going through a bit of an adjustment to being so in control of (and responsible for) everything. I like how the speaker was frank but funny and a lot of the things she talks about seem so obvious but when you start a PhD you might not think of them in so clear a way. It was a really motivational talk :)

[@Biomeducated]

You're absolutely right!

[@anotherlevel731]

Great celebrate your success in between.

[@solomontejineh289]

[@meteor2012able]

I am a Latino man. My doctoral advisor a woman with a sanctimonious and dominant personality. She was a horror. We did not get along at all. I could not tell her I feared her or how much I dreaded working with her. BTW, she was not really interested in my research top.

[@sibslawrence2335]

Sorry to hear. How did you manage to resolve this?

One tip I would add is don't let the first few month impostor syndrome get you down, its an exponential learning curve! (feel free to visit my channel for some tips XD). Great video and excellent tips!

[@musamusa990]

OMG its 2010

[@igrewold]

Beauty & da Scolah! ;]

[@samdash3216]

EEEEH

[@stevecatanio8532]

She's..

[@dipro001]

Love her aggression and feistiness! She is probably 10 years older than me, but she is such a turn on!

[@aphex303101]
