Why I did a PhD at Cambridge University

[@aliabdaal]

Good stuff

Ali!!!😃

[@khaledramadan7922]

Ali do you recommend doing master or phd in Cambridge or any UK university or in Germany with respect to pharmacy Which one is better?

[@jasonsheby889]

You guys live in the same house naa! why not say this in person, lol?!!

[@piccolaradge8333]

It’s about tricking the KZbin algorithm and since we want her channel to grow, we shouldn’t judge that

[@simranjeetkmann]

this was so calming to watch ngl

[@SheenGurrib]

Haha yaay 😊

[@michelleheegaard]

LOVE the style of you doing something with your hands while talking about an unrelated topic. It's a nice format

[@fawzee_em]

Viewer from Mauritius here, those laid out videos are slowly becoming my favourite ones, even if it means discussing about the simplest of things to the most complex ones. Keep shining, Sheen! 👏🏼

[@sachinbhoora5106]

This is so cool. Most people would just stare at a camera and talk to it. This is a really interesting way of doing an informative video. Also, it’s super productive and great use of time 😆

[@SheenGurrib]

Im glad you liked it!

[@Dr.anisatariq]

Great summary! Your last point is so important too. Having the right supervisors and lab group is incredibly important as they will help push and support you towards your goals! It's amazing you had two female supervisors, it's often rare to have this, especially in STEM fields.

[@SheenGurrib]

Absolutely 😊

[@aliaslm1066]

why is this very calming AND motivating at the same time

[@MyMindMe-ec3tm]

I like how confident you are and you do both things really great

[@ayseisk7496]

Im so happy that your content is not just podasts (even though i love them) It is great to hear your thoughts on different subjects as well ☺️

[@SheenGurrib]

Yay ☺️

[@samuelbrown9665]

This was excellent Sheen, there is not enough quality PhD content on KZbin.

[@trishalagopikrishna5819]

Love this video. Super informative. Waiting for your video on how to pick supervisors and the subject of interest.

[@Akta]

I love that you're gift wrapping in this, felt like I was just hanging with a friend. I found your reasons so interesting/things I wouldn't have ever thought about like being good at project management

[@abreshmi1]

I never knew much about phds before but I’ve always been curious, so this video was perfect and so therapeutic to watch you wrap presents beautifully

[@SheenGurrib]

Haha thank you!

[@ayeshasiddika8680]

You're so lovely! Please share more about your university journey. You are such an inspirational person for me❤️

This felt quite therapeutic to watch, loved the video :)

[@jashra1]

The most important highlight to remember is that " all of us succeed together." Loved the video and basically the chat which never felt- like a screen to human experience 🤩🤩

[@SheenGurrib]

Yay ❤️

[@kelvinsparky3745]

I know this sounds weird but I think either it's a coincidence your video appeared right next to Ali's or the algorithm knows you're roommates. Also great content certainly worth a sub.

[@jacobsed8432]

I always wondered what you do from Ali’s videos 😂 PhD in back pain that’s actually so awesome!!!!

[@tedlovejesus]

It’s sheen’s channel, don’t mention Ali if unnecessary 🤔

[@everythingphdrelated7799]

loved the content. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have just started my PhD as well and was really worried but you have put my mind to ease.

Yaaay good luck!

[@aaleenzafar599]

Would love if you could go more into your education before PhD, and how to get into a PhD program

[@zahoosen321]

My only complaint is that this wasn't long enough. Loved this video!

Aww thank you!!

[@tuluhanbozkurt3225]

I'm so envious of you being able to multitask like that; my limbs stop functioning when i try to sound smart or let alone tell a story. Btw it's been nice to learn more about you!

[@cohesian]

Man, I didnt get this experience and belongingness doing my master’s; my classmates were nasty and were always on a witch hunt of trying to prove the other person wrong during presentations etc especially if they don’t like them. And some of our supervisors didn’t even care about our research project. Great to hear u had a great experience and this amazing camaraderie during ur PHD but my master’s experience was horrendous coupled with doing it during covid, I just need a break after graduation. The toxicity and the workload caused me to burnout.

[@volebien]

Just watched Ali Abdaal video about websites and he promoted your website a bit. Got curious, checked it out and boom i saw you are from Mauritius. I'am from that island too :D, good to see mauritian progressing in the digital world and being influenced and monitored by Ali is just pure gold, sinon to ena ene accent anglais net ar toi, to coze creole xD?

[@SheenGurrib]

Haha biensur mo koz creole aussi

[@mehneikarahman411]

I literally love your accent. I would love to adapt your accent and the way you talk 😍

[@lolaz.3485]

Been wondering whether I should do PhD or not and this is insightful tho. I was told that I shouldn’t further my studies by a few people mainly because of the workloads etc and money as well. What irks me mainly is how I was told by a lecturer who taught me a class that I should stop and well somehow this video gives me a bit of a pressure to do something more of something I’m invested in.

[@ernarc23]

I really found this helpful. Also, you are a very tidy wrapper!

[@katiewilkinson5593]

Your wrapping skills are lovely Sheen and this was definitely insightful. I'm still finishing my Bachelor's, there are so many options😅🙌

[@akritimistry615]

Hey, welcome to KZbin! I've been watching Ali's channel for a while now and that's how I came to know about you. I must say, you started with a bang! I'm graduating high school in a month. And I'm really excited for college, Oxford has always been my dream uni (unfortunately I couldn't get into it) but hopefully some day, I will. I also want to do a PhD someday. This video is great. Lately I've been thinking of starting my own KZbin channel, will you please let me interview you when I do?

[@SheenGurrib]

Thank you, good luck with the channel let me know :)

[@akritimistry615]

@@SheenGurrib thanks for taking out your time to read my comment and wishing me luck. I haven't started my KZbin channel yet, I will in a few months. I'd love it, if you'd my first guest. Can I get you email so I can contact you?

I love this format (:

[@usersettings5134]

Hello Sheen, I just watched a video from the german KZbinr Niklas Steenfat, where he talked about all this Traditions Cambridge University has. Since you've been at Cambridge too, could you maybe tell us about your life there, and what the differences are to other Univeritys. For example he told us about the Partys and something like that. Would be very interesting to hear about your life at Cambridge.

[@SheenGurrib]

Next videos, thats the plan!

[@randomniche1345]

As someone who did bachelors and now starting masters in neuroscience, I always wanted to do med and I am planning on doing it after my masters. But lord do you make a PhD sound so appealing to a point where now I am questioning whether I should do it instead of med school
