Thanks for watching the video. Here is how to market yourself to professors for funded MS/PhD positions: ua-cam.com/video/giYQzVZv2yQ/v-deo.html . We'd appreciate your support by subscribing to our channel.
I have been following you for the past 3 days and I must say, I have learned a lot from you. I left academia a long time ago and I intend to go back to school for my PhD.
@@BestmanAcademy I asked them the deal breaker question and after some remarks she concluded me being a good fit. I am still waiting for the result. Wish me luck
Thank you so much for this video I have my interview next week for masters in pharmacology and Physiology. Pls when explaining the methods can I talk about how I grouped the animals and what was given to each group? I studied the effect of a plant extract on gentimicin induced nephrotoxicity on wister rats. Or can you tell me how best to explain my methods. Thank you so much!!
Sure, Mary. But don't dwell on it too much. You may talk about the study design in a sentence or 2. I'd typically approach this as if I'm writing an abstract. E.g "We induced wistar rats with gentamicin to induce nephrotoxicity and subsequently randomized the rats into 4 groups. Afterwards, we tested the dose-dependent effects of xyz methanolic plant extract on ameliorating nephritis via weekly intraperitoneal injection while using the vehicle as control." This gives a good idea of your study design. Then you can follow it with what you measured and where. "After 8 weeks of treatment, we measured abc and xyz in the kidney" of rats as primary markers for nephrotoxicity using HPLC and ELISA" That's your whole methods in 3 sentences. Then jump into the important results as described in the video. Good luck. I am rooting for you to excel!
Thank you for this insightful video. It is indeed very handy at this time. However, I am preparing for a short presentation of my research experience to the lab during my Ph.D. interview process, should I create a PowerPoint for it or just discuss it without a PowerPoint? Thank you.
Sorry I got to this late. If you haven't done the interview, I'd strongly suggest you prepare a short PowerPoint presentation organized along the lines of what we discussed in this video. Best of luck!
Good question! No, your experience doesn't have to be lab-based. Regardless of your field of research , organize your response according to the structure presented here. I understand I tend to use the word "lab" a lot due to my Biomed background.
Thank you for this useful tip, sir. I'd like to know how one could talk about the skills acquired during their research experience. And also, which skills are the most important during research. Thank you
Hello Emmanuel. Apart from hard skills specific to your field, you may also find soft skills very useful during this discussion. I talk a little bit about some soft skills here ua-cam.com/video/V0KL97O4PKg/v-deo.html We also have a post on soft skills needed in academia on our social media accounts. instagram.com/bestman_academy/
You may try to get some volunteering experience in a research group. Depending on the field, you may be able to get into a Master's program with little to no research experience.
@@BestmanAcademy thank you sir. Sir, if you want to begin talking about your research experience. How would you start? What I mean is, how would you start the introductory paragraph in your statement of purpose. I know how to craft research experiences but I don't know the opening words to discuss about it. Could you help me?

Please after a prospective supervisor has shown interest in supervising you
Who is supposed to schedule for the zoom interview...thank you
The prospective supervisor, if they feel that it is necessary.
Thank you for this insightful video. It is indeed very handy at this time. However, I am preparing for a short presentation of my research experience to the lab during my Ph.D. interview process, should I create a PowerPoint for it or just discuss it without a PowerPoint?

Good evening, please can I also link this approach when I am presenting my expertise and vision for a project during my PhD interview process?
Yes you can. This other video on how to express research proposals may be of help as well.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video.
Please, must all research experience be laboratory-based especially for those in Engineering?
Good question!
No, your experience doesn't have to be lab-based. Regardless of your field of research , organize your response according to the structure presented here. I understand I tend to use the word "lab" a lot due to my Biomed background.
@@BestmanAcademy Thanks
Any advice on students without publications?
Please sir where can I get more info in regards to college application in USA
Hey Evans,
At what level; undergrad or graduate?
Thank you for this useful tip, sir.
I'd like to know how one could talk about the skills acquired during their research experience. And also, which skills are the most important during research. Thank you

What if u have no research background 🤔
You may try to get some volunteering experience in a research group. Depending on the field, you may be able to get into a Master's program with little to no research experience.
What do you mean by implication of the research when you're trying to end your research discussion? Can you give an example please
I mean the potential importance, usefulness, or significance of the research on society.
@@BestmanAcademy thank you sir. Sir, if you want to begin talking about your research experience. How would you start?
