@@PhDCoffeeTime I begin my coursework in the Fall, but using the summer to churn out some research. I found your channel via your video on Zotero. So helpful!

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

@@meaganfoster8236 Pleased to hear my resources are available to you at the right moment of your studies! I would love to hear how my video might have an impact on the early stage of PhD, so I look forward to hearing more feedbacks as you progress with other videos in your coffee breaks!

Congratulations!!!! I recently found your channel and it has been very useful. I am doing my Ph.D. abroad far from my family and friends. and the first year has been quite hard (a new working environment, a new language, new everything!!!). Now I am doing better and your videos are helpful! Keep doing them!! Thanks

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

This awesome to hear! You're welcome, and I have been in your shoes of being an international researcher. Please consider sharing my videos with anyone who might need to learn these tips! It's going to help the channel reach more PhD students just like you! Feel free to leave any PhD related questions and I will try to address them in the comment or in a new video!

Feel free to post any questions here or share with me via other social media privately. My pleasure to help you feel supported in your PhD journey!

1K subs well deserved! You created a great library of videos so far, Vera. A real treasure trove for PhDs. Full on support for your mission!

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

Kevin, it means a lot to have met you since my SMART goal video! Thanks for being a huge support to my videos, and it was perfect timing when we've met this January!

[@annisafitriati9582]

Congratulations on your 1k subscribers Vera. I just found a video of this channel today but I end up watching more and more videos. Thank you for the meaningful sharing. You deserve to get 100k next year!

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

Annisa, so nice to hear that you are enjoying the videos on this platform. I hope it keeps you inspired during your PhD journey! Also, it would mean the world to me if you could share my videos with other PhDs who might need the tips I have shared here. That will help this tiny channel reach more students who share similar struggle in their PhD journeys.

Congrats !! Keep up with the videos !! I wish I have you in my lab ! ^-^

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

Thank you, it means a lot to hear that!

[@uncleben8935]

I really like your channel. First thing first, I speak your language, cantonese, which is also my mother tongue. I am now working as a college tutor in GZ, and about to start my doctoral program(pretty much the prerequisite for those who want to be a tutor in University, I think I am luck at the point when I got recruited by my workplace as a postgraduate. ) Long story short, there are a bunch of things I can learn from your channel, so keep up the good work by sharing some useful tips with us!

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

So nice to hear from you, a Cantonese speaker! I am glad my videos can reach you and it will mean a lot if you could share my videos to your other friends! All the best to your studies and please feel free to ask me any questions related to your postgraduate research!

[@cozyhobbies_]

Just found your channel I love it. I like your videos on things like motivation and how to read academic papers. I would like more motivation and productivity videos

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

So nice to hear that! Which year of PhD are you in? I do have a playlist on PhD project management (kzbin.info/aero/PLF6JfHXiwSZ7WJN2ysOHBrddIisF2aoB2). Optimize every day by watching ONE video per coffee break and taking ACTION to reflect your habits. See you around in the comment section!

[@cozyhobbies_]

@@PhDCoffeeTime thanks so much I have dome 2 years and about 2 more to go ! I had realy lost motivation and your videos have been the best so far thanks so much I look forward to watching everyday 😊

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

​@@cozyhobbies_ Second-year PhD is all about streamlining your skills and becoming efficient in running experiments/ communicating professionally to get constructive feedback. I have created this playlist especially for this stage of PhD. You may find a few helpful tips on certain technical areas of your research (kzbin.info/aero/PLF6JfHXiwSZ5gJ6tVSR8s6UNMLFIrTMKn). I am so happy to hear my channel is helpful to you, it is built to help motivated students like you who are willing to reflect upon their PhD on KZbin!

Hi Vera. Here is a suggestion while you are looking for your next job. Set up a mentoring programme/network online. Offer your services to PHD/Doctoral students on getting started with the research, reading drafts, feedback on the writing, presentation skills, viva defence.. I am a part time doctoral student in the UK and looking for a mentor. Just wish I had someone to provide feedback on the protocol, ethics application and data management practices.

[@PhDCoffeeTime]

Thanks for the question! I would recommend this Linkedin group for PhD career networking (www.linkedin.com/groups/8476427/). In fact, I have met many helpful network who has helped me a lot in job prep, I actually have landed a job this month. I don't have any plan to offer any paid services but I have created a privat discussion group where you are welcome to post any PhD related questions: facebook.com/groups/860570264454111 Hope these resources are helpful. Also, you are welcome to write to [e-mail] where I will try to take some time to offer free feedback to your technical questions whenever I find some free time.
