seeing you get so much done whilst taking out the time to squeeze in a little workout is so motivating lol. You go girl & all the best with your PhD! :)
You are honestly inspiring on another level! Seeing you excited about the science field is bringing that back in me. Keep up the awesome educational videos love!
thanks for showing your week! I'm entering the 4th year of my PhD in chemistry. It's really useful to see how other PhD students maintain work-life balance, not to compare, but to be inspired to make that a priority. Congrats on earning your PhD btw!
New subscriber here, I know you probably are finished with your PhD by now, but could you please keep making more videos about it? like advice, time management, funding etc... I want to get a PhD myself, im currently an undergrad, and your videos are very helpful thanks!
Loved this vlog. We share many interests including Biology and sunsets 😂. Great video Amina, so nice to see an informative video showcasing your intelligence (mA) in the unpredictable world of science. May Allah ease your last few months of PhD 💡
Thank you so much for making these videos. I'm starting my PhD this fall and I was so scared because I don't know many other girls who are doing it. But seeing you succeed and document it all makes me feel like I can do it too!
oh my gosh I love this so much, I do cancer research as well, I just finished my master's at king's and I'm working there as a research tech, and this is such a good vlog! also..don't worry about your western blots...I swear they just NEVER work haha
u so much give me hope on pursuing my phd bt its so difficult for me to stay in a foreign country all by myself, am from Djibouti currently studying in Malaysia.
My bio research is determining which proteins interact with the Miro gene in zebrafish and one of the proteins i found was actin using a Y2H technique! Great video!! you’re a huge inspiration
I got this video as recommended and it couldn't have been more accurate! I study biomed at UCL and it's so exciting to see someone at my uni that vlogs her PhD in a Simon Clark kind of style in one of the fields i'm more interested on! I loved it! ☺️❤️
I'm a physics PhD student. I'm very gald to see your life as a PhD student. I was feeling so low with the number of times I've to step back in an attempt to move forward.. but it's a part and parcel of PhD life I guess.
OHMYGOD I MISS MY LAB SO MUCH that I browsed youtube to find video of people doing labwork lol and glad I found your channel! I'm also doing phd at the same university (I even miss my black UCL mug lol lol. Feel so glad to see the building! Goodluck on your next chapter after PhD!
I don't understand who would dislike this video??? there's nothing dislikeable about it, you can see this video from different angels educational, entertainment and anything else. It is such a beneficial content.
In your vlogs you show a perfect balance between your lab and social life, which is a very good thing! I am currently a master's student and my biggest hesitation about doing PhD is that I may need to sacrifice everything for those 3-4 years😞😞
Hi Amina, your PhD life resonates with me so much because I worked with microscopy a lot, and have a post-it notes system (which I have later realized to put into Kanban Board style) too.
Hey everyone! This is the first of my PhD vlogs - hope you enjoyed it! Do like share and subscribe, and leave a comment below letting me know what you thought. Update: I have since managed to complete my Methods & Materials section *wooo*. Update Update: My westerns are still not working :(
It's really inspiring...me too a PhD student in geography about coastal studies...due to some personal reasons I got interrupted in my reserch journey...bt now I restarted...
Am a Ugandan Anglican male priest, from Uganda,a PhD student at Atlantic International university USA,my course program is organizational human behavior and human resource management,my proposed research topic is entitled, effects of interpersonal relationships on the detection, analysis and attitudes 😮, practices,and knowledge concerning medical practitioners on the torture,and reduction strategies with close reference to Kampala capital city authority, ankole, kigezi, Albertine, rweonzoli and wakiso subregions Uganda, analyse it critically and guide me professionally, am mostly obliged, blessings, amen
I find this so inspiring - I am currently studying for my Masters at UCL and I look forward to starting my PhD. It is so great to see a fellow black muslim woman in a similar field to me :)
i am happy to see a prayer room...MashaAllah. i do pray in a cell room. I like protein work more than RNA work.This vlog is good for us graduates. I am motivated.
Hi Amina...im so glad i found your video. Im currently doing my masters in Food science and technology and Im always happy to see someone else who is also juggling school and other things like youtube (as a youtuber myself). Sometimes I find it quite hard to balance the two...Maybe you could do a video on how to manage time etc
Assalamalaikum really refreshing to see your Phd schedule. M in 2nd year Phd Environment Sciences n I do hope to catch up on activities apart from research!☺
Just found your channel and you're awesome! Loved this video and also the book you choose, Sapiens, is really really good! Maybe you know this already since you uploaded this video three months ago, but just wanted to let you know because i'm very pasionated about the book!
Needed the inspiration and found it ! i am doing a double PhD in cardiology, both clinical and research in china ,and it gets a bit overwhelming sometimes... needs ideas for organization...
just stumbled upon your channel and its so amazing.Hi5 from a fellow scientist in making to another.Keep up the research work and if possible let us know on the translational aspects of your research.
If you want to hear more from me and my husband, listen to our podcast - 'oh, by the way' pod. We post every Sunday! We continue our weekly conversations as a couple, discussing everything from career, finance, lifestyle, news, property and more! anchor.fm/ohbytheway
Dear oh dear! putting your PhD work in a single hard drive is too risky! I urge you to use an additional back-up method such as private cloud. Best of luck sis :)
Key of Phd.not hard if understanding in phylosophy clearly if one good at this subject deeply it easy to change to any fields because Phd use the root cause and effect and can proof (sylogysm).
Good book, good sense of humor...but be careful to be particularly critical of his time invested in research and political inquiry. Also, I'm American, is your PhD (thesis) the same as the USA (dissertation)? Are they the same? In the USA a thesis is at the Master's level, and the dissertation is at the PhD level. Great video!
Hi Amina! Loved ur vlog (and blog)! I am also studying biology (more of stem cell research) and just wondering what how long does a UK PhD takes (in biology)? Thanks :D
Hey..thanks a lot for sharing..i wish to know if you get to manage any time for offering prayer...if so..is it allowed to pray in public or in lab or mosque or any other suitable place?
Hey Amina, really really great quality video!! Can I ask for some advice on Vlogging for PhDs? I'm starting a channel and am wondering if you have any tips? Thanks a million!!
Wow, so glad I found you, I wanted to ask how your first year of PhD was? what did you have to do? I just started my PhD and would be working with cells and incorporating a great deal of chemistry as well in the research. I am really nervous too, could you give me some advice as per me been a newbie.. Thank you, and you don't know how happy I am to have found someone like you on UA-cam.
Just curious but how detailed were you in your personal statement at masters level? Im an International relations undergraduate and planning to apply now to Imperial business school and its soo stressful thinking about long term career evolution and also how ill pay the fees.. uff! XD ive saved like half the tuition cost but Im stressed about the missing half.. are scholarships reasonably easy to get? I was a low to middle 2:1 student.. Sorry for the mini "rant" but its late at night and I hadnt even had my tea xD id be really thankful if youd share your experience! P.s. Loved your vid, keep it up and best of luck :))
one question your task is to figure out the protein and how it does as you said, How did you decide that you have to solve this problem, your advisor instructed it to do(after joining PhD) or you decide yourself(during masters itself) ?, & I have not seen your advisor helping you also ?; so he should be their helping you right ! or he was there when you were a new PHD student (initially)
Hi! When i'm in the lab, I usually put the radio on or tune into LBC because lab work doesn't require me to think any more as I've done it so much, it's just actions and can get boring sometimes. But when I read or write something, I usually do it in silence :)
seeing you get so much done whilst taking out the time to squeeze in a little workout is so motivating lol. You go girl & all the best with your PhD! :)
Thank youuu Aida
You are honestly inspiring on another level! Seeing you excited about the science field is bringing that back in me. Keep up the awesome educational videos love!

@@DrAminaYonis Hello! Could you please share which is this pen at 4:23? I once used this pen. Always looked for it but don't know its name. Thanks...
So glad I found this, I'm a PhD student in plant genetics! Writing down what you want to get done each day on post it notes is such a good idea
lol idk why your mug at 3:49 made me laugh so hard. caught me off guard i thought it would say something inspirational 🤣
New subscriber here, I know you probably are finished with your PhD by now, but could you please keep making more videos about it? like advice, time management, funding etc... I want to get a PhD myself, im currently an undergrad, and your videos are very helpful thanks!

once the fir alarm went off in the library and because the struggle was so real some students didn't leave their seat lol
LOL! I don't blame them, it can take hours to even get a seat sometimes...
u so much give me hope on pursuing my phd bt its so difficult for me to stay in a foreign country all by myself, am from Djibouti currently studying in Malaysia.
Thank you! Keep pushing at it, you will succeed eventually. Try to find friends in the area you stay in, or connect to people online.
Honestly its Exam Week and im stressing. Seeing you succeed is helping me along the way. Just wanted to let you know your lighting a way for me. Jzk
Aww thank you! Keep working hard, maintain your focus on your goals and dreams, and inshaAllah you will get the best results. Good luck!
My bio research is determining which proteins interact with the Miro gene in zebrafish and one of the proteins i found was actin using a Y2H technique! Great video!! you’re a huge inspiration
I’m only about to start my bachelors degree in Environmental Science, and I really hope I’ll have the motivation to get a Phd.
Did you end up applying to phds ?
I got this video as recommended and it couldn't have been more accurate! I study biomed at UCL and it's so exciting to see someone at my uni that vlogs her PhD in a Simon Clark kind of style in one of the fields i'm more interested on! I loved it! ☺️❤️

It is really interesting that I have started do analysis by yourself straight away, in day 1! And You are Amazing, full of ENERGY !!!

Hi Alice! Ha! This wasn't even all of it. I was so busy during some parts of the day that I couldn't even pick up the camera.
Mashaallah, Allahuma barik!! Great vlog :)
In your vlogs you show a perfect balance between your lab and social life, which is a very good thing! I am currently a master's student and my biggest hesitation about doing PhD is that I may need to sacrifice everything for those 3-4 years😞😞
you could zip up the files before moving 30 GB of data
Hi Amina, your PhD life resonates with me so much because I worked with microscopy a lot, and have a post-it notes system (which I have later realized to put into Kanban Board style) too.
Brilliant vlog. Very well done!
Thank yoou!
OMG UCL!!!! I can't find UCL vloggers anywhere, I'm so glad I found you 😄
Aahhhh hi5 UCL! Yes, I haven't seen a UCL vlogger either :)
cool thanks for sharing your experience and good tips as well! I will start my PhD in Paris soon at the Curie Institute

Totally inspired by you, hard working, yet very graceful! Best wishes on your journey with your Ph.D!!
Great video, i am currently an Undergraduate Researcher trying to deciding if getting my PhD is the route for me. Very inspirational.
Hmm, a PhD isn't for everyone, that's for sure, but if you are passionate about your subject that I would highly recommend it!
I find this so inspiring - I am currently studying for my Masters at UCL and I look forward to starting my PhD. It is so great to see a fellow black muslim woman in a similar field to me :)
Woah! Good luck with your studies!!

Hello do you know a forum of student in neuroscience? Because I want to study neurology. By the way thanks for this video
