I filmed a week of my life as a PhD student in cancer research at University College London. I'm in the final few months of my PhD (eek) and here's what I got up to last week.
If you have any questions about life as PhD student, please leave them in the comments below and I'll get back to you. I have experience with applications to UCL, Imperial and KCL, so can help out with those!

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
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...
Loved this so much!!
Thank youu Aysha
@@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...
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!
Aw thankyou Nebat, means a lot! x
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!
This is inspiring! I love chemistry and I want to be a chemist like you :)
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!
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
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 💡
Hey! Thank you so much
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! ☺️❤️
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!
I have 17 days left actually! Yes, I will most definitely do that :) GOOD LUCK!
I love this. I'm starting my masters and doing a PhD next, this is so useful! Thank you
It is really interesting that I have started do analysis by yourself straight away, in day 1! And You are Amazing, full of ENERGY !!!
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...
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
Atousa omg I hate western blot too. Doing cancer research as well at McGill
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.
Totally inspired by you, hard working, yet very graceful! Best wishes on your journey with your Ph.D!!
Was kinda feeling stressed over upcoming uni exams ..watching this made me motivated to keep going!! Love your vlogs ❤️
Aw, thank you! Keep up the hard work, you can do it!!
Omg! You literally did the same plan as mine. I'm a phd student at Newcastle Uni. Glad I found your channel! xx
Haha no way! Thank you! Hope yours is going well x
Warm Inna Hi i am phd student from algeria in electrochemistry
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 love your sense of style !! I hope every thing went well with your thesis
Thank you thank you thankyou!
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...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
You are so motivating Masha'Allah! keep striving for the stars you can do it ❤️
Ma Shaa Allah ...so proud of you !
you are the definition of a phenomenal woman! loved this vlog sweeety - alawia
Thank you my love
Mashaallah, Allahuma barik!! Great vlog :)
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.
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!
lol idk why your mug at 3:49 made me laugh so hard. caught me off guard i thought it would say something inspirational 🤣
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.
cool thanks for sharing your experience and good tips as well! I will start my PhD in Paris soon at the Curie Institute
woow, cool video, you tried so hard to make you PhD work routine kinda of fun, I love it. I am inspired! Thanks Dr
Girl your outfit is on point!! This video really made me more confident about starting my biomedical engineering PhD program in a few months!
Aww thank you! Good luck :)
Wow😱 damn.. You got this!
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.
I absolutely love seeing what you do.
I loved this video so interesting! I'm so happy I found your channel :)
Outstanding video! Thank you so much for sharing.
I like and appreciate this video. The reality is helping me understand what it's like. Potential perspective phd student
These blogs are exiting keep them up!
Even after all that phd stuff, you still manage to dress like a queen. You are an amazing person!
Amina, you are truly inspiring! May Allah make your journey easy, In sha Allah! 💗
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.
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 ?
You are so inspirational, good luck with your thesis!
Thank you :)

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.
Thank youu! Yes, okay i'll talk about that in the next one :)
Can I just say your headscarves are beautiful 😍
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!☺
Wa'alaykum salam. Thank you! Ah, yes, make sure you make time for other things! It's really important to have that balance.
Wow i am so proud of you
I HATE lab work but you make it seem soooo interesting 😍
Jazaki Allahu khyran sis!
Haha! Trust me, I have my days that I hate it too!
Love your vlogs & blogs. The way you fit everything into your life is so inspirational. Would love to meet you one day inshallah.
Thank you! I try, I try. InshaAllah, you never know x
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!
Omggg i love this vlog. Do moreeeee😄😄😄
Really motivating especially for my gcse❤
Thank you, and good luck :)
So, wait...I get in trouble for spraying ethanol in the bsc. Apparently supposed to use a squirt bottle instead?
I am typically not a vlog person, but watching yours does not feel like a chore at all #binging
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.
I wish you all luck!
I love your youtube channel because it inspires me a lot! anyways I'm biologist student in third semester 😄
I love ur blog. Ramadan Kareem.😊
Thank you
Love your project!
Thank you Adrian!
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
Thank you Liz! Wow, stem cell biology is super interesting (and very relevant at the moment). It takes 3-4 years!
what an interesting video! x
MashaAllah.great job dear.
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!!
@@Lean-zj1nl Thank you!
Hi! What hard drive did you use? Looking to buy one before I start my PhD in October - also in cancer research and lots of microscopy images!! X
Thank you. Very cool
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)
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!!
Good luck hun
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 :))
Omg we study at the same uni!!! Good luck with everything Inshallah
Haha, no way! What are you studying?
As a harrari, muslim girl i am very proud of you. U r a role model
5:53 University of Exeter cameo!
hi there I just had one doubt and that is about the MD vs Phd battle. I wanted to know whats the job security of a phd vs md and how far is it justified for an phd who discovered a drug to not be able to prescribe it but on the other hand an MD can.
