Thanks for watching! For the curious, here’s the lyrics to the song at the end, btw:
What can you do with a neuro degree
What can you do with a neuro degree
What can you do with a neuro degree after you graduate
Will I get a job oh
Will I get a job oh
Will I get a job or will I be unemployed
Maybe it’s the best to go to grad school
Maybe you could teach kids STEM, that sounds cool
Maybe you could just delay and then you’ll learn when you graduate
Will I get a job oh
Will I get a job oh
Will I get a job or will I be unemployed
Maybe there’s a job in science writing
Maybe I should go and do consulting
Maybe this whole process feels insulting after I graduate
Will I get a job oh
Will I get a job oh
Will I get a job or will I be unemployed
Can there be an MP3 of this song?
@@Hannah-ip6js We'll work on it! For now, here it is on SoundCloud. soundcloud.com/alie-astrocyte/what-can-you-do-with-a-neuro-degree-a-drunken-sailor-parody
How can I apply for MD PhD and also what is the eligibility for the same?
Neuro Transmissions Thank you for all this information I’m a single father who’s disabled and my daughter is turning 11 soon so I’ve been thinking about going to college now that she’s a bit more self reliant I’m very curious if this is the field I would need to get into to apply tech with brain functions like I’ve seen people make prosthetics that are moved via brain signals. Just to be clear I’m not physically disabled but this field of work has amazed me for a long time and believe combining all Are amazing tech to react to brain signals like what Elon musk has started working on to integrate are brains with A.I. If you have even the slightest idea of the route I should take it would be very much appreciated. I just don’t know where to begin. Ty and keep up the great work and Gratz on completing your schooling!
Neuro Transmissions on my way☄️💥
I was in psychology but changed to behavioural neuroscience and people always ask me what kind of job I can get with that and I'm just like idk I just like studying neurons lol so thank you for this
Nice! How are the studies going? Anything you're particularly interested in?
@@neurotransmissions they're going well. Getting all of my introductory science courses out of the way. I really like neurons themselves but also very interested in oligodendrocytes and how they interact with neurons in order for you to learn and form new connections.
@@kellypaton2626 Woooo! Glia! Sounds like you've got a bright future ahead of you. It sounds like you're early on, so there's a lot of exploring left to do, but enjoy it!
@@neurotransmissions thank you! That means a lot! I love your channel
Me too, just regular neuroscience though. People ask me all the time what I'll do with it. I say "I don't know, research." Its the only academic field I really love so its worth it either way.
I work in a very niche neuroscience specialty: surgical neurophysiology. We monitor and map the nervous system during surgical procedures where nervous or Neuro vascular structures are at risk. There is a high demand for skilled clinicians in this career field. You work surgeons hours, and it does require a 1 year on the job training, with accompanying board exam after but being an integral part of the surgical team is highly rewarding. Thanks for the great content
what requirements did you need and what courses did you enrol in as I am considering taking on this path
@@sashaparis9755 generally a BS or MS in Neuroscience followed by a 1 year fellowship in the surgical neurophysiology. This year is a mix of didactic learning and hands on case experience so after the year (minimum 150 monitored cases) you can sit for the board exam (the CNIM).
This is so interesting! My teen wants to do neuro major and were worried about job prospects as well.
Hi sir, can you kindly tell me where you did this 1yr fellowship and which state are you practicing?
Hi, can you please tell us how much can you earn in that job?
damn i can’t major in shit without having to partake in a 100 year job hunt
Mayim Bialik got her PhD in Neuroscience at UCLA in 2007. In 2010 she got a ‘small’ part on The Big Bang Theory and, well, the rest is history. So keep an acting career open as a possibility ;-)
Heck yeah! I'm still waiting for that small part in the next Star Wars. 😝
She was the lead on Blossom before she got her degree...
She was a child actress though...
She has a pretty interesting life ngl.
Omg that is my plan I have never seen someone else do that
I can't thank you enough for making this video. I am a psych major who aspires to become a cognitive neuroscientist. It's all pretty new to me so I really appreciate this video. I love that you had real people talk about their careers.
Very inspiring, thank you ! wish you all the best Alie.
No matter what you do, you're gonna crush it Alie! Best of luck on the job hunt bud!
Thanks Corporis! You're a great motivator :)
Wow... I had no idea that that wasn’t the typical career path anymore. Time to rethink my plans! Thank you for the info
as a recent grad (bs) and now technician this video gives me so much hope and ideas!! thank you
Omg! This video just came across my feed and I’m in awe.. Congratulations! Excellent job and very helpful information. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Alie for this video and for the invitation! It is curious, in France, the academic path for the neurosciences is somewhat different. For example, a research technician can not apply for a PhD without having done a master's degree. For the others career opportunities, I think it's pretty much the same thing.
I will share this video with my French neuroscientists colleagues! 😉
This was so thorough and helpful, thank you so much!
This video was so fun and informative! Thank you for putting this together! I am working on my research study applications and one component was to discuss other career paths that Bio-psychologists compliment and are influenced by. Your video was very helpful and helped me better understand what career paths are affected by Bio-psychology and Neuroscience! Thank you for your hard work, and good luck to you on your journey!
Thanks for making this video! I'm a 2nd year PhD student and starting to think about what I want to do afterwards. It's great to know there are so many possibilities!
How wonderful! You've still got a few years to really figure it out, but never too early to start dreaming. What are you studying right now?
Your video actually helped me. Thanks a LOT!
Thank you for this! it really helped me clear my head on what route i want to take!
A very needed video ~ Thank you!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
That ending got me :D thanks for the video!
Thank you for your guidance!
What a great video. Your friends gave me a lot of ideas!
A lot of people go straight into a PhD after undergrad. If you work in a lab during undergrad you wont need to be a lab tech or get a masters in order to get research experience.
Any tips on working in a lab during undergrad?
@@waltervonterror1181 You found out any tips?? I'm currently in my second year and eager to do this but have no idea
@@waltervonterror1181 do your own faculty research and start getting in contact with them. Don’t be afraid to start out as a volunteer RA. I started as one and now I’m a paid project manager. I’m a fourth year Neuro student now. Hope this helped!
As a person looking into Master Program's in Neuroscience, this video was insightful, thank you so much! Personally, I've always disliked the PhD route b/c I detested the thought of teaching. However, one of your friends in the video mentioned what they're pursuing with their Neuroscience background and it's exactly what I'm interested in. They're in the pursuit of a PhD focusing on learning and memory. I was hoping to find a Master's Program primarily around this, specifically how Depression and Anxiety can effect Memory loss.
SAME
Thanks for putting the type of degree in the corner when you're talking about what jobs you can get (it helps me remember what level of education you need for that)
amazing video, exactly what i was looking for. I LOVED every part of it, the examples are AMAZING!!! Thank you!!!!
About to round out my bachelor’s and apply for my next step. Thank you so much for this helpful video! It honestly makes me so excited for my future in neuroscience :)
Very informational, thank you so much!
This is SO helpful!
This is a wonderful video! I’m heading off to do an undergraduate degree in neuroscience this September and it’s amazing to see how many directions it may take me :) keep up the great work!
So awesome. You're just at the start, which is exciting! Any particular area that interests you more? Best of luck in your studies!
Neuro Transmissions, I’m really interested in pain networks and industry or applying neuroscience to marketing. My course offers a year in industry so hopefully I can figure out how to achieve that!
What did you end up doing?
Great and practical information. Thanks❤
Awesome video! Thx!!
Thanks for watching, Rick!
Very informative video!!
Hey, there! I loved your video!
I am an English teacher and I intend to take a post graduation in neurocience so I can help my students to burst their learning process. I could notice that Thiago, one of the speakers of your video is brazilian. So proud to have a brazilian fellow in your list!!!
Go, Thiago!!!
I'm not sure a degree in neuroscience will necessarily help "burst" your students learning... why not go for cognitive psychology instead? That might have more utility.
This was amazing info! I am general psychology undergraduate trying to figure out which direction I want to go next. I started taking neuro science class this semester and found it really fascinating but question of what can I do career wise.... so this was very helpful. Thank you and I wonder if you choose to do which..!
Ps. Love the song hahaha I laughed out loud as I am getting ready to go to neuro class. Keep up the good work ❤️
Thank you so very much for this overview =]
Greetings from Switzerland.
Oh sweet! What are you doing over there in Switzerland?
@@neurotransmissions Currently in the Biology bachelor program at ETH. Next stop: Neuroscience masters (or Neural Systems and Computation! #sophieschoice)
Very helpful, thanks
You all seem like cool people and I'm happy to kick things off in this field.
Thanks, it was really helpful
Have been waiting for this video, thanks! I'm not really in the field of neuroscience, but work in IT and I'm very interested in AI and brain-computer interfaces. It's interesting to hear what can neuroscientists actually work on.
So cool! Interdisciplinary work is important these days, particularly in biotech and AI. Thanks for watching!
I'm same with you
Hello, very informative video! I am currently at my third year of Biotechnology (minor in medical biotechnology) but I'm writing my thesis in neuroscience field which I find fascinating. I'm writing about the dynamics of dendritic spines in hippocampus, cerebellum and visual cortex. On the other hand I always wanted to do something connected with art, so I applied for 3D animation and special effects course. I'd love to be able to mix both of these interests and make something out of it. Good luck on your studies! And wish me luck for my Bachelor exam :"D
This is so helpful! I’m planning to do a master in neuroscience, my other option was master of physical therapy but I rather do neuroscience!
Damm getting a job is really tough
It can be for sure, depending on what area you want to go into. Luckily, neuroscience skills are applicable to a lot of different fields, so it's not all doom and gloom!
in my first year of a bachelors of neuroscience!
no clue what i want to do but this video really helped me out!!
thank you
How’s school going for you so far? I’m going into my second year!
Thank you! 💜🙌🏼
I am currently studying for my BSc in Neuroscience and this video really helped me to learn more about all of these career paths that I've never known before! I've always been interested to study about the brain of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and hoping I can get a job related to that field with my Neuroscience degree, either as a researcher or maybe a consultant. I'm thinking about applying for Hons and then getting my PhD in clinical neuroscience? Although I'm still not sure what kind of career I can get with clinical neuroscience.. love your channel btw, so glad I found this!
Same with Autism too yasss. It’s humbling to know someone out there that shares that same passion as me.
Same here, and I also earned my BSc in Neuroscience. I’m applying to MS grad schools that have the opportunity for me to do autism research there at the moment, to get better relevant research experience and then see if I really need to get a PhD or not.
What do you do today? Very curious 😊
Move to NY and become an ABA therapist. After doing that for some time, become an evaluator.
31, law school graduate and called to pursue one of my greatest fear, medical degree. Neuroscience feel more relatable to my interests and learning style. Thanks for this. Peace, Love, Life.
THIS IS AWESOMEE
Currently working on an undergrad specialist degree in neuroscience, with a major in molecular genetics and microbiology and a minor in physiology (fingers crossed that I can take the courses I want without conflict). Currently a summer student in a respiratory neurophysiology/opioids lab that uses rodent and zebrafish models, though my PI wants to add addiction to the mix. I’ll do an undergrad thesis with them in the fall! It’ll be my third year, and while I love the people in my lab, I want to switch into a molecular genetics type of lab (neurogenesis, organoids, regeneration/stem cells), ideally continuing to work with zebrafish because I think they’re fantastic neuro model organisms.
After this, I was hoping to go directly into a PhD program, and then after, either continue the traditional academia route or get into biotech. I started out wanting to go down the MD route, and I don’t think it’s entirely out of the question, but if I do, I still want to be active in research. I’ve got a lot of clinician-scientists as role models at my uni and I can’t help but love the idea of practicing and advancing neuro.
Omg the song at the end 😂😂😂 I just love your videos soooooooo much 😊💗
I really want to apply mine to the tech industry. There is so much going on in the tech industry and neuroscience really is out there being on the front lines of it. It is needed in so much tech jobs
Best video ever!
Thank you so much for making this video. It was really helpful for me. I didn’t know about many things you said and... I Think I want to be a Clinical Neuroscientist. Honestly I appreciate all the information you provided ^_^
I don't like how catchy the tune at the end of this video was ... struck in my brain.
I feel like this video should have scared me but it just made me more excited and sure of what I want to do!!! 🤯🤯🤯✨
Several years too late with my BSs in neuroscience and biology. Still feeling just as lost. Thank you for this.
You guys keep me sane. Thank you so much
such an awesome song at the end lol
I NEED the ending song to get me through my last few classes of my BS in neuroscience. Please make this available!
Also, I'd love to hear more suggestions for those of us with just an undergraduate degree (I'm disabled so I'm not sure how much more I can do).
a neuroscience bachelor? in my country there are only neuroscience masters
@@38Fanda Yep! I'm in a program that was one of the first (and remains one of the best) for neuroscience undergraduates in the US.
I'm 37. Law grad in 2018. Doing qualifications to practice. My Mother has been diagnosed with MS. I am looking to dedicate the later half of my life to pursue a better understanding, and mapping of the brain. I am also interested in the study of nerves. Won't probably start till I'm 47 though
I have a Master’s degree in Neuroscience and Education from Teachers College Columbia University and never used it except for volunteer roles in laboratories and hospitals. I later transitioned into the publishing industry after years of trying. My life lesson: keep an open mind and definitely avoid student loans!
You mean it wasn’t worth it?
How sweet..!
I am a neurologist in training. I must say we got our eyes on you -neuroscientists- to see your next move. Oh, all neurological patients as well!
Neuroscience is complex and is often misunderstood/ignored, and some neurological disease are really challenging and it's only scientific discovery and technological development that will help, God willing.
All the best.
Did u have to go to med school to be a neurologist
This has been extremely informative, and also you got my respect straight away with that Zelda triangle pin hahahha you just gain a new subscriber my friend
Wholesome video!!! Truly the best one I've seen out of most 'Neuroscience' videos.
I like Neuroscience in both the medical and research fields. After watching this video, I will aim to be a Medical Scientist since it what I'm truly fond of, and just the idea of being in the field I love, Neuroscience, fire my heart and makes me cry with excitement!
Is there any advice of whether to aim for the PhD first then medical school, or reserve? and after finishing Med School, what should I special at to be compatible with the PhD that I will get?
Thank you!
take a shot everytime she says science
hahdhwiakdbakaydvdg wut
Thank you! This helped me break things down a lot easier! I lose a month on my life every time a family member asks "so what can you do with that anyways?"
I’m currently getting my undergrad in neuroscience and am wondering what are some of the ways you met your financials through your journey in getting your PHD
This great thanks
I enjoyed your video.
Well I respect your opinion but that's why I have mine.
I'm about to finish my Bachelors in Biology, with a focus on Behavioral and Neuro/Cognitive biology. I was going to pursue a Masters in that field but think I will study medicine instead, specializing in neurology and then continuing down the physician scientist road! It took me a while to figure it out (I'm in my early thirties) but I think it's worth it and obviously the coolest subject ;)
MaxMcfax oh hi mark
That’s so cool. Neuroscience rocks ✌️
I would love it if you make a video about how much they pay for each career
I have also a Ph.D in neuroscience. I have a chance to tell applicants to my grad school about what you can do with a Ph.D degree. I am very happy to watch this movie, and I would recommend this movie to them :)
I would like to ask what is the difference between studying BSc in psychology then MSc in Neuroscience and studying BSc and MSc in Neuroscience
Hi Alie and everybody else in the comment section! I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm about to complete my undergrad in a few months and am really interested in pursuing a career in science writing and science journalism. I'm just really confused as to how I should navigate this field. Do you have any suggestions?
Interesting. I've always been interested in neuroscience and working in a fancy industry sounds dope. Should I change my major?
Really informative thank you! I’ve heard you can also become a patent attorney once you complete a masters?
Combo of all field paths could be quite rewarding...
I'm currently getting my masters in nursing. I've always been interested in neuroscience before becoming a nurse. I want to become more involved in the research aspect of mental health than the clinical site because I see that's where most of the impact in healthcare takes place. My fear about all of this is going from a very lucrative and demanding occupation to entering a field that you say is highly competitive and I see it's a mighty extensive program. Decisions Decisions.
I studied neuroscience (undergrad) and then went into psych nursing... honestly, I thought research was lonely and dreary and nursing is just so much more rewarding. You could still mix the two, with your clinical experience it should be a decent pathway into clinical research...
I love your pins!!! How do I get them?
You can even be Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on the Big Bang Theory. ❤ All the other jobs are super awesome too. I admire how smart and awesome all of you are.
I love the song at the end of the video hahahaha
Great video, what I found most shocking and insightful was hearing that most of your friends with their Phds do not become research scientists.
Hi! I'm getting my BS in Neuro and want to go into Prosthetics afterwards. Would you suggest getting a PhD in Neuroscience, masters in neuro-engineering or masters in mechanical or masters in BME? I was on the prehealth track prior and now confused now to navigate this transition.
best presentation also you are such lovely
Hahahah! Important question? What the heck is the name of this song 😂 starting my MSc in applied neuroscience at Kings College, shiting myself but super excited! Wish me luck and new brain cells!!! X
I've currently finished my undergraduate bachelor in cognitive neuroscience and positive psychology, and after this autumn semester, I've decided that it would be beneficial to apply for a position as a lab technician in a university. In the future, I would really like to work at a lab and pursue my own research (although I'm unsure about which subject). However, I have a small dilemma. My bachelor did not provide me with any lab experience at all. I only learned about the principles behind fMRI and EEG. At the same time, there is a one-year master program in cognitive neuroscience in my university that I'm interested in where I can do an EEG-study. On one hand, applying for this one-year master is appealing because it would improve the chances of me getting my position. On the other hand, a two-year master will provide me with more lab experience and I want as much lab experience as possible. Do you think I should apply for this one-year program, or look for a two-year master program instead? Additionally, do I have any chances of becoming a lab technician or research assistant without a master's degree?
How you're doing now Marcus?
Hi.
I am an occupational therapist! Can I do my master's in Neuroscience?
I studded intro. To Anat.&phys course and also intro to Neuroanatomy course. I really liked the last one.
Love it
Hi! I’m thinking of going for my Ph.D in neuroscience. I have a masters in counseling psychology. Other than apply for research assistant positions, which I’m currently doing, is there anything else you suggest? Books, videos, articles, etc...?
Thank you in advance! 😀
Can you please make a video about what's the steps to become medical scientist in detail after neuroscience master's degree ??
What if I had a specific theory that I'd formulated that I wanted to research
What about applied/clinical applications? Combining neurobiology with clinical psychology for cognitive rehabilitation post-brain injury....
Hi, I graduated with a bachelor's in Neuroscience and am currently working as a lab tech for a behavioral neuroscience lab. To be honest I love the work but hate the environment and treatment from the graduate, post docs, and bosses. Do you know what would be job titles for the administrative jobs or industry jobs? I love neuroscience but don't want to work in an environment that's petty and toxic. Any advice?
Did you figure out what such job titles are?
I am a nurse. but I really love neuroscience and I hope I can get applied for msc in neuroscience and finally become a medical neuroscientist 😍😍😍😍
1.Any other programs you can go for at undergrade thats are very close to neuroscience other than biology and psychology ?
2.And what carrier path would u recommended for someone who is particularly interested in speaking, guiding helping people especially young people by applying knowledge about how the brain works ?
Hey, can I go into Finance with Bsc neuroscience?
Any books you suggest on this subject. I am a little lost what path to take in school.
Hi ! Would it be possible for someone studying masters in neuroscience to apply for the PhD/MD programs? ( With a Bsc psychology in undergrad level )
Is it possible for you to make a video similar to this for undergrad students majoring in neuroscience and for those who just graduated?
currently studying dentistry in Egypt, second year.
I wanna apply for a master or Ph.D. degree in neuroscience after college but my study doesn’t relate to this field so I have to have my full study plan alone until I get a good C.V to apply......nowadays I’m putting a study plan to learn programming as I think it could help me in neuroscience in the future "but I don’t know what programming field would help me I just put the basics and the math courses I need"..... I have another 4 years in college so I want to invest them well.
I have some questions if you don’t mind:
1-what programming field should I know well?
2-how to put a study plan for neuroscience? / the courses I should take online and the sources/textbooks?
3-what are the main points/skills that should be in my C.V?
4- how to find international competitions in neuroscience could raise my chances to get a master / Ph.D.?
