Reimagining the PhD | Nadia Jaber | TEDxSBU

[@Junaid6646]

My favourite line: The career opportunity for a Ph. D in the non-academic world is limitless. I am saving this talk to my sd card.

[@alpantanjung1449]

she smiles all the time during her presentation. I wish I could attend her presentation. 2 to 3 hrs is not boring. beautiful. smart n intellectual lady. a lady with a PhD academic title is superb n highly prestigiious. Congrats.

[@Sancho931118]

This is an amazing video. I am doing my masters degree and I am asking myself the very same questions you asked yourself. this video has brought an immense amount of insight. Thank you very much for sharing your story!!!!!

[@DrSal-ov2nb]

This is true. Mid PhD crisis is the major phase when feel lack of motivation and questioning own self what am I doing with my career and life? .

[@dr.abdulquader8532]

Thanks, Nadia Jaber for your beautiful and inspirational speech about the Ph.D. study. As a new Ph.D. student, I think during Ph.D. research people need lots of motivation and driving force since it is a 3 to 5 years long journey where many things you may find that distract your focus and concentration even you might think of quitting from doing Ph.D. So I assume that it would be great if you could keep in touch with someone did Ph.D. and other faculty members.

[@SubhashiJayasekara]

Woooooooooow. Thank you so much. I am finishing my Masters tomorrow and this encourages me to continue working on my passion... Good job Nadia. Wish you good luck with your work as well.

[@helenabreha2641]

OMG thank you for this amazing presentation, I'm not a Ph.D. student but confused about my path in a medical field, this was inspiring.

[@hayajbee6679]

Thank you so much, Nadia, I'm almost done with my master, and was thinking about PhD, but hesitant at the same time because I don't see my self in academic fields, your lecture has really opened my eyes.

[@samaras.4024]

Loved this TEDx Talk! Our stories are so similar. SBU is also my alma mater. I, too, am a PhD who realized early on that the academic path was not for me. I am now working in my dream job in industry. Contrary to what you may hear in your university, academic positions are NOT the only way to go. If it is what you prefer, great, but there are options out there. I also love the career ladder idea. You go girl!

[@malinkata1984]

Hi Nadia! Your talk was amazing and it describes precisely what I have been thinking lately. I finished my PhD in Molecular Medline a few months ago and I'm aware of all possibilities which are now open for me. I also don't want to follow the academic career track, it is just not for me. My passion is communicating science. This I discovered during my PhD. At the same time I rediscovered my other passion - singing. To be fair until now I have always went with the flow, but the PhD made me realize I can shape my life the way I want it. This realization for me is very liberating and at the same time really scary. I guess I need to take a few steps further and try to see if will be able to find a job in science communications. Thank you again for the inspirational talk and showing me I'm on the right path. :) Good luck. :)

[@CraigHocker]

Even those of us who have written successful grants really don't like doing grant writing, it's not what gets us up in the morning. Having gotten a Ph.D. in the pre-internet age, it's probably hard to imagine how little information and support of this kind there was then. I'm glad that it's better. It's needed because it's only gotten more brutal.

[@hongpingzhang2849]

Oh my! I'm not the only one who hates calling strangers but has no problem with public speaking! I used to think it was because English is not my first language.

[@ohmaekka48]

Just what I needed RIGHT NOW!!! A PERSPECTIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@MegaKasi1]

The way you thought is the same way as I am thinking now, and now I am gonna start my Phd In sha Allah. Thank you

[@nellagroen2039]

Thank you!!! I am a 4th-year PhD student and all you have said is something I have experienced one time or another during my training. This is what my fellow students call 'Impostor syndrome'. You look around and think "There had to be some clerical error, no way am I supposed to be here. When will they realize their mistake?" I also thought tenure was the way to go, but soon realized that wasn't for me. I wouldn't be happy or satisfied doing that for the rest of my life. I even felt ashamed to think about quiting, since this was my dream since I was a little girl. You however made me realize that it is okay to want something outside the world of academia, since that world is not for everyone. I realize now that I need to be proactive this year and work towards my dream career. Thank you, you have no idea how much I needed this.

[@UseHERnam3]

Career development and the acquisition of soft skills are so important during the PhD and it's the university's responsibility to arrange that. UCL have a dedicated doctoral school that runs hundreds of courses. How to marker your PhD to non-academics, public speaking, journal writing, programming for busy PhD students, how to network ... the list goes on and on. Every PhD student at UCL have to take 20 credits worth of these soft skills courses each year. Demand it from your universities people! Great talk btw!

[@CultureAndLove]

Her honesty is refreshing. Thank you to those sharing this video and talk.

[@MARTINAEFEYINI]

Very inspiration talk - I love seeing Women in STEM doing great things!

[@mohamedbourmad6455]

Every one has fallen in love with Nadia and her speech. Thank you for you insight, I felt that I will trylly consider a PhD after finishing my master even do I am not the research nerd who sets indoor.

[@keithford8019]

This is a great video! As I begin my Ph. D. journey, I find this inspirational speech to be very encouraging. Thank you Dr. Jaber for your work and contributions.

[@lynx777]

Cute speech, sweet honesty, a great perspective on being honest with herself and weighing in an educated way what she was willing to commit to and her rejection of institutionalism.

[@marianachrispim7213]

Excellent and inspiring talk! I feel the same and in my last year of PhD I decided to do a career planning course which I really found helpful to know myself better. I think it should be offered to all graduate students, it is essential to reflect about what you really want and to be better prepared and motivated.

[@icee934]

It's just a mindset with public speaking or anything I believe. I used to be really bad in English and shy away from public speaking activities. My passion to advocate for people with mental health challenges has changed all that. I am now always doing facilitation, and training in front of huge crowds; most of the time to people who are professionals in their fields.

[@MM-mn1uv]

When I tell people I am doing a PhD they more or less react with - omg why/ I couldn’t do that/so you want to be an academic? I feel like there is a stigma around further education. There is no set path for anything or anyone - a PhD can be and should be used for any type of personal or professional development!

[@siddheshzadey3159]

a really helpful talk for a confused grad student!!

[@mpoimakhetha9345]

This is exactly what I needed to hear, I'm starting a Medical science Phd in a month's time, I know I don't want a lab environment either, I enjoy talking, conference presentation and engaging with normal people. I've had the privilege of being thrown to the deep as a student leader in my Masters, but as the only PhD student in my department, I am probably going to drown and eventually hate science. the Masters depression was real, and now PhD...but this strategy sounds great, thank you

[@birajsharma9618]

this TED talk was probably the most three dimensional and insightful of the presentations. Great stuff by the speaker!!

[@starbury64]

Awesome presentation. This goes to show that any degree from college has a purpose in society, but it all depends on the student receiving the education and putting it to good use.

[@brayan9645]

Inspirational. This is exactly why I would love to go into a PhD program.

[@salirezakm]

I am planning on getting a Ph.D. but I was absolutely terrified of the idea that I will be stuck in academia ... Thank you, Nadia, for showing that there are other ways as career options

[@ibrahimidris8499]

Why do you need to be stuck in Academia? It is your choice.

[@drbarney1000]

If you are in graduate school listen to her and DO NOT DROP OUT just because you hate the academic world. Even if you can only get a job as a janitor after earning your doctorate your degree will give you more dignity and self-respect than you can imagine.

[@richiebwalya9639]

I have enjoyed listening to this pep talk. I had 3 questions that have been echoed by the talk: what are my skills?my interests?my values? as i start my PhD. I think Nadia has helped me think through in terms of career development and some things i will probably do after the PhD. Thanks a lot.

[@MrWasim80]

Thank you very much. I am inspired by your vision of doing PhD.

This was so critical For me to hear, thanks!

[@franja1608]

Great talk! I will graduate from my PhD in about two weeks, and I really struggle discovering what to do next. I also think an academic path is not for me... You should make a Ladder mobile app with questionnaires and discussion board.

[@Tammy8823]

Franja Prosenc congratulations on your accomplishment! I too want to pursue a ph.d, but I'm not interested in continuing in academia. I think it's soul crushing. Good luck finding your path.

[@franja1608]

As Nadia says in the video, academia is not the only path for PhDs. If you're curious and really wish to pursue a PhD, don't let this stop you. Most R&D in industry also requires PhDs, especially for more responsible positions (e.g. lab managers, senior scientists).

[@mouradazehaf2018]

Franja Prosenc va pas

[@ibrahimidris8499]

Franja Prosenc You don't need to struggle. Just follow your own advice to Nadia, and make the Ladder Mobile App yourself. It could be quite lucrative

[@lillylife341]

As a last year phd student procrastinating this is absolutely nerve wrecking :)

[@stevej1287]

This is why I stopped with my Masters. I want to do so much more and, honestly, a Masters will get you as far as a PhD outside of the academe.

[@qinglongshao7050]

+Steve J it`s really hard to say. Sometimes PhDs give you more, for example, doing phd in another country, improve your scientific writing ability, and more important, the consequent logic.

[@zodmorality]

So glad I got to see this :)

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Already achieved BA Econ, MBA Finance and JD, for the longest time I have wanted to obtain a PhD in Economics in global economics focusing on inequality and wealth redistribution solutions. However, PhD in Economics programs are not part time and require fulltime campus presence and are also heavily mathematical. Many programs insist on having to start from scratch and do a GRE. They ignore my previous GMAT and LSAT scores. Frustrating.

[@zahrashahabinezhad]

[@DinoA87]

Interesting talk Nadia. Out of box.

[@wambui4590]

The purpose of pursuing a PhD is not to find a job, it's basically for self actualization as advanced by Abraham Maslow's Needs' theory. Social animals desire power and recognition. Employment therefore cannot serve as the epitome of fulfillment. Being employed can make you poor; therefore we pursue PhD studies to be job creators, innovators, idea generators and/or to participate in millennial evolution. There is indeed a correlation between consultancy and doctoral studies.

Great & inspiring talk. Thanx Nidia.

[@StyleGoalsHarmony_]

Thank you so much for this encouragement.

[@dbreardon]

She has a good point in that people....BS, MS and PhD's need to open their eyes to opportunities outside of the tradition jobs associate with ones specific major or degree. Universities don't do a great job, regardless of your degree, identifying and passing on information to student on career opportunities outside of the tradition pathway, IMO. On the other hand, did she need to get a PhD to do the job that she wants to do? Nonetheless, it may help her later on to move up the ladder more quickly. As an FYI, SUNY-Stony Brook turned me down for their PhD program in microbiology in 1987....boo! So I went to UT-Houston and did my PhD at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and became a cancer researcher :) So no hard feelings besides the ...booo! :)

You think that you would have back up career goals before you go into a PhD other than tenured professor... Any professor will tell you that faculty positions are scarce

[@nadiaholden1903]

+Hereford Johnson that wasn't my experience at all, actually. Nearly all of the professors I knew were dumb-founded when I told them I wasn't continuing on with a post-doc. When the older generation of professors came out of graduate school, they were "handing out tenure positions." Now the situation is different, and only newer professors can tell you how difficult it really is.

[@herryfrd2740]

Nadia Jaber I agree with you now, I've actually decided to pursue a PhD and I see where you're coming from

[@ronmayne107]

+Nadia Jaber I agree. When I got my Ph.D. in 1996, I was told that there were few Ph.Ds and jobs were plentiful. That wasn't the case. The "older" professors who were supposed to be retiring, didn't.

[@CraigHocker]

I remembering attending a career symposium in the mid-1990's where we were told to look to the person in front, behind, and on your left and right. Only one of you could expect to get a traditional tenure track job. The others will be doing something else. That's 1 out of 5. Of course that was not a discussion with professors I ever had and of course one thinks I will be that one.

[@Dragon195ana]

That was a great talk! 😍

[@CharlesBrown-xq5ug]

Civilization may have progressed enough to conquer the second law of thermodynamics. Civilization needs to strive for this goal with synergistic interdisciplinary teams.The outcome would be perpetually changeable never gained or lost energy. There would be no loss of energy as it changed form. For example the total quantity of thermal energy in an equal pair of two thermal energy reserves with ideal insulation would remain the same regardless of how heat is distributed between the two and how often the distribution of heat between the two is changed. In one case one reserve could contain ice water while the other reserve contained hot water; in another case both reserves could contain tepid water. The redistribution of heat between members of pairs with the same total thermal energy would be free. Diversity, time, and energy are different atributes. Reversing disorder doesn't need time reversal just as using reverse gear in a car ɓacks it out without time reversal. The second law of thermodynamics had a distinct begining with Sir Isaac Newton's correct professional scientific observation that the heat of a fire in a fireplace always flows towards the cold room beyond. Victorian England became enchanted with steam engines and their cheap,reliable, and easy to position physical power. Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius, Lord Kelven, and, one source adds, Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, formulated the Second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy using evidence from steam engine development. These men considered with acceptance [A+] Inefficiently harnessing the flow of heat from hot to cold or [B+] Using force to Inefficiently pump heat from cold to hot. They considered with rejection [A-] Waiting for random fluctuation to cause a large difference in temperature or pressure. This was calculated to be extremely rare or [B-] Searching for, selecting, then routing for use, random, frequent and small differences in temperature or pressure. The search, selection, then routing would require more energy than the use would yield. These accepted options, lead to the consequence that the universe will end in stagnant heat death. This became support for a theological trend of the time that placed God as the initiator of a degenerating universe. Please consider that God could also be supreme over an energy abundant civilization that can absorb heat and convert it into electricity without energy gain or loss in a sustained universe. The law's formulaters did not consider the option that any random, usually small, fluctuation of heat or pressure could use the energy of these fluctuations itself to power deterministic routing so the output is no longer random. Then the net power of many small fluctuations from many replicant parts can be aggregated into a large difference in temperature, pressure, or electricity's amperes and volts Heat exists as the randomly directed kinetic energy of gas molecules or mobile electrons. In gasses this is known as Brownian motion. In electronic systems this is carefully labeled Johnson Nyquist thermal electrical noise for AI readability. Hypothetically, diode depletion regions are practical sites for enabling mobile electrons energized into motion by thermal electrical noise to deterministically alter the electrical resistance of the depletion region according to the moment by moment direction they are carrying electricity. The thermal electrical noise is hypothetically beyond the exposed lattice charge / diffusion equlibrium thickness of the depletion region. Consistantly oriented diodes in parallel hypothetically are successful electrical Maxwell's Demons or Smoluchowski's Trapdoors. The energy needed to shift the depletion region's deterministic role is paid as a burden on the moving electrons. There would therefore be usable net rectified power from each and every diode connected together into a consistantly oriented parallel group. The group would aggregate the net power of its members. Any diode efficiency at all produces some energy conversion from ambient heat, more efficiency yields higher performance. A diode array that is switched off has no energy conversion and no performance. The power from a single diode is poorly expressed. Several or more diodes in parallel are needed to overcome the effect of a load resistor's own thermal noise. A plurality of billions of high frequency capable diodes is needed for practical power aggregation. For reference, there are a billion (10^9) 1000 square nanometer cells per square millimeter. Modern nanofabrication can make simple identical diodes surrounded by insulation smaller than this in a slab as thick as the diodes are long. The diodes are connected at their two ends to two conductive layers. Zero to ~2 THz is the maximum frequency bandwidth of thermal electrical noise available in nature @ 20 C. THz=10^12 Hz. This is beyond the range of most diodes. Practicality requires this extreme bandwidth. The diodes are preferably in same orientation parallel at the primary level. Many primary level groups of diodes should be in series for practical voltage. Ever since the supposedly universal second law of thermodynamics was formulated, education has mass produced and spread the conventional wisdom throughout society that the second law of thermodynamics is absolute. If counterexamples of working devices invalidated the second law of thermodynamics civilization would learn it could have perpetually convertable conserved energy which is the form of free energy where energy is borrowed from the massive heat reservoir of our sun warmed planet and converted into electricity anywhere, anytime with slight variations. Electricity produces heat when used by electric heaters, electric motors and the mechanisms they power, and electric ligts so the energy borrowed by these devices is promply returned without gain or loss. There is also the reverse effect where refrigeration produces electricity equivalent to the cooling, This effect is scientifically elegant. Cell phones wouldn't die or need power cords or batteries or become hot. They would cool when transmitting radio signal power. The phones could also be data relays and there could also be data relays without phone features with and without long haul links so the telecommunication network would be improved. Computers and integrated circuits would have their cooling and electrical needs supplied autonomously and simultaniously. Electronic minting would be free. Integrated circuits wouldn't need power pinouts. Robots would have extreme mobility. Frozen food storage would be reliable and free or value positive. Storehouses, homes, and markets would have independent power to preserve and pŕepare food. Vehicles wouldn't need fuel or fueling stops. Elevators would be very reliable with independent power. Shielding and separation would provide EMP resistance. Water and sewage pumps could be installed anywhere along their pipes. Nomads could raise their material supports item by item carefully and groups of people could modify their settlements with great technical flexibility. Many devices would be very quiet, which is good for coexisting with nature and does not disturb people. Zone refining would involve little net power. Reducing Bauxite to Aluminum, Rutile to Titanium, and Magnetite to Iron, would have a net cooling effect. With enough clean cheap power, minerals could be finely pulverized, and H2O, CO2, and other substance levels in the biosphere could be modified. There should be a unitary agency to look after our global planetary concerns. This could be a material revolution with spiritual ramifications. Everyone should contribute individual talents and fruits of different experiances and cultures to advance a cooperative, diverse, harmonious and unified civilization. It is possible to apply technlology wrong but social force should oppose this. I filed for a patent, us 3890161A, Diode Array, in 1973. It was granted in 1975. It became public domain technology in 1992. It concerns making nickel plane-insulator-tungsten needle diodes which were not practical at the time though they have since improved. the patent wasn't developed because I backed down from commercial exclusitivity. A better way for me would have been a public incorruptable archive that would secure attrbution for the original works of creators. Uncorrupted copies would be released on request. No further action would be taken by this institution. Commercal exclusivity can be deterred by the wide and open publishing of inventive concepts. Open sharing promotes mass knowlege and wisdom. Many financially and procedurally independent teams that pool developmental knowlege, and may be funded by many separate noncontrolling crowd sourced grants should convene themselves to develop proof-of-concept and initial-recipe-exploring prototypes to develop devices which coproduce the release of electrical energy and an equivalent absorbtion of stagnant ambient thermal energy. Diode arrays are not the only possible device of this sort. They are the easiest to explain here. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by AI that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the wealthy if people simply can be more generous if consumer commodities are inexpensive. Vigorous, inovative teams are a great way to develop this.

Anyone who went through or is going through the grueling process of a PhD training will tell you that they have thought about quitting their PhD studies MANY MANY times. It appears that the speaker is misguided. The PhD is the highest research degree. If one does not want to have a career in creating knowledge, they should not go through the painful process of getting a PhD. Nobody said that the only outcome of a PhD is to be a professor. She should not encourage people to doubt/change their goals for just being challenged in graduate studies. Doing so will make you want to quit more because people want to chose the path of the least resistance. Instead, one should look to role models and regain motivation. The hardest part of a PhD is to tough it through and finish it. Once it is done, the world is open to you. You can pursue many opportunities not available to others.

[@nadiaholden1903]

Yes, I was misguided into the belief that the only outcome of a PhD is to be a professor - because many professor/mentors who were guiding me led me to believe this. I think most everyone goes into a PhD with a deep desire to create knowledge, I know I did. I wasn't challenged in graduate school because the coursework was hard, or the research was all-consuming; I was challenged because of the culture of the academia. The point of this talk is just what you said, to encourage students to find role models and regain motivation to pursue whatever opportunity they decide.

[@pauliusnarkevicius9959]

a) Does after Working for Number of Years You don't get PhD by default? b) Does this is regular Rule when PhD has to be given only when there are number of different University academics around there?

It sounds so nice and shallow when she tells about how she discovered her dream job [on being a good public speaker] "I was like yeah I am" [on being a good writer, going to conferences and being in the middle of research] "She was like, yeah I do" ... she actually has a PhD right?
