I enjoyed your video so much, laughing my head off, you have such an amazing sense of humour. As a lecturer I have seen so many people doing this and they are not even a tenured Professor.
I sat through a couple of these. You're on point. Maybe add the use of archaic technology; one of my professors was still using an overhead projector and 20 year ol sheets
Our best professor used a real ancient slide projector for the picture. And a chalk board for bullet points. He developed everything from his brain. No PPT needed.
I'm dying, it's spot on 😂 especially the awkward setting up if the laptop and frantically rushing through slides. Someone has to teach these guys that they can hide slides in advance in their monumental presentations. Also how all the PhDs and postdocs are just a blip in their career. Reminds me of my old boss at the end of his career. We had a big symposium and he was thanking his mentors, his colleagues and family, as well as administrators and funding agencies. No, we were not considered colleagues. The people who actually did the work to build his career were never mentioned in the 1+ hour talk.
Hi, Ajarn Andy, Ajarn is the way that Thai student use to address the lecturer in high education level. Just want to tell you that 😂 because it is cute to me😅. Thank you Ajarn for many good tips tools and tricks to make my MA path easier.
Tenure should be banned: Change my mind. (Noup, your research isn't as fundamental as you think it is. A long term contract - 10, 15 years, or any appropriate value backed by data is sufficient. Contract renewals are welcome so long as the feedback on your file looks alright. 5 complaints by 1 PhD student, 1 relates to sex misdemeanor allegation, and you're still here? Noup. You should be out. )
@@pufopc8749 I don't necessarily agree. That would invite people who care more about pursuing research on a pre-determined, sufficiently large enough, amount of time, rather than folks who are in it because than achieving a position of power per se.
@@drakkhein you gotta throw academics a bone, its in crisis now. So maybe you can get rid of tenure but something has to be done about corporatization of the university. People who want positions of power usually do not become academics. You can make 5x more money in industry with a good stem phd than becoming a tenured proff. If you wanna power-trip on people you will become police commisioner or vice-chancellor or ceo or something that allows you to say u are number 1 top dog and everyone is mah slave.
tenured full profs know that peers are only in the first 3 rows. The presentation is for no one. tenured profs learn from each other during the office visits not the seminars. Top profs don't even read papers they go directly to the source (their prof buddy) if they need the state of the art of the field if it is not their own area of expertise. The end. From a full prof. I haven't read a paper in 10 years. I just go and ask the expert down the hall or pick up the phone. over the course of 5-8 years of being a prof in a top 15 school (department) in the USA you will have everyone of note sit in your office during a seminar visit. over those same 5-8 years you have also given talks at probably 30-40 of the best departments around the USA as well. You know everyone and they know you. The seminars are for grad students and maybe recruitment and ego. The profs really don't care but got to ask a few questions at the end of the seminar to show the research was not over their heads and they are smart too. LOOOL.
Lol that summarised pretty much all the presentations I got from senior researchers, either PIs, assistent professors and professors. But also any tenured researcher that's older than 50😂
Please! If you are presenting, TAKE THE MICROPHONE some people watching will be Deaf/HoH/Deafblind and cannot, in fact, hear you at the back, or the front for that matter 🤦
People with normal hearing would certainly benefit from having the volume boosted to an audible level. It's not clear to me how a microphone would help a deaf person.
This guy amuses me. He has no idea what he is talking about. All his PhD advice is awful. This guy is a youtuber. sad. hustling for clicks. If you want to be a prof at an R1 in chemistry then get a PhD from a top 10 department in the USA and a postdoc in a top 5. better to be top 5 for both. preferably work with a member of the national academy of sciences. A person who has already placed multiple people grad students and / or postdocs from the lab in R1 institutions. Very simple. If you don't have that kind of CV then you are not going to make it to prof level. Some are ok with it and looking for industry jobs. Prof world is winner takes all. Research competition is the ultimate cut throat capitalism run by bleeding heart liberal professors. You have to be top 10% in your undergrad class. Then top 5% in your grad class and number 1 or 2 in your profs lab. Then top 1-2% for postdoc. Add it all up. it is scary. Prof is the only occupation where you get top 1% education to make top 40% money. Most people are interested in getting a mediocre 50% bachelors to get top 1% salary.

I am a tenured professor invited by my buddies to give a talk at a conference. - Excellent advice :)
I have been to such presentations so many times! This is frighteningly real.
The "legibility is over rated" made me fell out my chair 😂😂😂 04:31
This humour is spot on. I wish that these professors had the self awareness.
They do. They just don't care about the people there. They've never cared about anyone..hence how they got tenured
Have you considered a career in stand up, because what you just said in this video is so relatable to a vast majority of audience. Thumbs up.

😂 Accurate! But you forgot the in-talk advertisements for other talks from your group.
Haha right! Or "go see poster 106...

I once had a lecturer take 2 hours to cover 10 slides.
Ive literally done their lectures with 14 slides in 10 minutes before.
The audience is distracted focused on their presentation of yesterday or of tomorrow . The only info they need is if you are better than them
You never fail to crack me up. Thank you for reminding us not to take life so seriously!
As a tenured (full) professor, I adore your videos. Most professors are dumb, unforfunately. 😂
Dude, learn to spell. And this guy is a generalizing idiot.
gotta get the full in there
The 3 most important things for a succesful presentation: Timing, timing, timing. I know it and fail every time.
That's why we need chair
This video got me laughing at every point. It's so true.
Hi, Ajarn Andy,
Ajarn is the way that Thai student use to address the lecturer in high education level. Just want to tell you that 😂 because it is cute to me😅. Thank you Ajarn for many good tips tools and tricks to make my MA path easier.
Amazing video Andy !
they need to do a sequel to that tv show Community. but this time set at state university.
Well said mate 👏
This is so perfect! 😂
The ruining people's lives bit was extremely validating
You roasted them mate!
Hahaha this was spot on. Love it 😂
Holy shit this was spiritually relatable on so many levels!
Thanks Andy 😄❤
You're welcome 😊
It's too real Roy, it's too real!
I'm not planning on becoming a tenured professor but this still confirms my decision not to buy a MacBook, was the right one. This was hilarious btw!
Tenure profs are some of the most competent and accomplished in their fields of exploiting others and kissing all the right asses.
I swear I’ve seen this exact presentation in real life
Lol!! This is so accurate 😂
You are brilliant 😂
Perfect
It's my dream to be so important that I can present like this.
made my day 😊😊
Perfect 😂😅
This really made me laugh! :)

no one ever would put in the effort to become a professor if that was the case.

U sound like the kind of guy he is talking about in the video.
What a crock of patooty dung
I was wondering what the dumbest thing I'd hear or read today would be. Thanks for getting that out of the way early.
@@scmabcd such ignorance.
