Nomika Biotech lol, like almost entirety of Europe 😂 And I’m sure other parts of the world have free (university) education too. (Its not actually free though ofc as we pay it with our taxes)
We had a postdoc who did that kind of thing. He'd go on vacation and then present photos of the beach in group meeting. And that was an official recruitment things. So maybe they were told to do it?
Original song was by a band consisted of vocal by BA in Graphic Design, guitarist by a PhD in Physics from Cambridge univ, drum by a BSc in Biology, bass by an A-level electrician from King’ College and an inventor. So this parody fits this.
Well, it's pretty ironic then that Brian May, the Guitarrist in Queens, the very band that wrote and preformed the original song, was in fact working on his PhD in astrophysics that he abandoned to be a musian full time. Well so I thought, but when I looked up the guy on Wikipedia it seems like he actually got a PhD in astrophysics as late as 2007!

I am literally procrastinating by watching this video three times. And how do you have so many singers in PhD group? Hell I can't even voice over properly.

Hello from the humanities side !T This video was awesome. I am about to watch it for the third time. Nice to see we share the same problems and jokes ! A PhD student in history.
Submitted 100+ postdoc applications, got 2 interviews and no offers, may be I should make a new round of applications with the link to your video as the cover letter, lol.
Not enough demand. You're nit going to have much luck in industry either. Quit the online applications and just talk directly to the people hiring by calling, linkedining, emailing etc. Believe me, i've been given the excuse of being overqualified for research position (not only industry jobs). Its all just tailored jobs to someone the supervisor knows and likes. The online posting is just to fulfill regulatory requirements.
They won't be most of the time. But occasionally you'll have a blast together if you pick right :) definitely consider how much you enjoy spending time with other students/postdocs when choosing a lab. People talk a lot about fit between you and your advisor, but this is also quite important. You'll be spending a lot of time together, make sure you can at least tolerate each other.
Wow!! I'm writing the final draft of my PhD and this video is completely relatable... P.S. post doc me now coz. I hv been here for a long time now.... Hilarious!!! Loved it
RIMPY CHOWHAN Oh, don’t call it your final draft. Call it “version #x”. I learned that the hard way. You never know when more edits will be asked for. You never know.
Very impressive! This must've been a great way to avoid what you were all meant to be doing! I'm dazzled by how well you choreographed so many tired academics!
Im an undergrad who's currently stuck in the middle of finals hell. Ive been super anxious these last few weeks and this song is exactly what I needed right now to calm down and have a laugh. Thank you so much for making this.
I sent this video to my brother in the doctor's course two years ago, and he said he did not know whether to laugh or cry.And he passed Dr Defens today and became a post doctor! Thank you!
My friend have recently sent me this. When I saw what is this, I didn't regret. This is one of most enjoyable video I have ever watched! Brilliant for my soal! Good luck, guys!🤩 You're so talented!
"I am gonna de...de...de... bug this code! My figures don't look right yeah!" This is is so epic, brilliant and relatable! Wish I had come up with this line myself during my PhD years! :'D Awesome work guys.
Just came across this, this is beyond fantastic. I'm 40 years post Ph.D. and this was giving me flashbacks. Oh, and about scientists with talent, my department (in one of the sciences) has a Grammy winner!
Well done! I don't really miss grad school and am gladly saying "good bye" to postdocs. "I'm gonna graduate before I die" is my fav part hahaha Hope you guys get a nice PI to postdoc you now.
My PhD supervisor made me work on four different but sightly related topics. He even proposed staying an extra year so we could do more work together. I would have emailed him the link to this song if I had watched it before then. Just "post doc me now, Prof W".
I am thinking about starting my PhD studies this fall. When weighting out pros and cons, you guys are tipping the balance in favour of it. Great work :D
Amazing when it came out, but thought I'd finally comment. My last year of grad school?? Holy shit, thank you for giving me something I can show my family and have it explain to them what I went through. After all, you can only explain to your parents when you're going to graduate so many times...also UC Riverside represent!!
Oh man, you guys rocked this. Just watch the original Queen and you guys nailed it!! Also I am working on a masters for what its worth I found it funny as I want to be done.
I love every second of this!!! This is amazing!!! Thank you so much for making this! I am absolutely going to blast this in the lab at 11 every night (right alongside Jekyll & Hyde).

Excellent! Made me feel your pain, even though I can’t relate to the field, but now I do. Thanks for the window into your field and struggles to get a phd.
When she said I've been here a long time , I felt that, I'm doing now my last year of medical school, and I'm fighting to get to biology residency , which is NOT EASY AT ALL , but what a man can do but work his ass off to be where he wants

Wow! Awesome! Yeah! Posdoc me now! Thank you so much. Greetings from Popayan, Colombia.
This was amazing! But why are there so many great singers in your group?!
Hello, Miss Physics! 😄
Because Freddie is a god. We needed every set of vocal chords we could get, unnumbered takes, and Micah working his magic to even come close.
Scientists got talent ;)
Could you write one about fields that have such a glut of PhD's that we need multiple post docs before we can get tenure tracked?
When you procrastinate enough, you can even learn to sing and play an instrument before your results are up
When you procrastinate by watching this video.

Will leave the best reply later
Yup I'm suppose to be writing my networking assignment lol

Yeah, negative 11 out of 10 seems about right.
Yeah and BEING in this video lool
I never thought a parody would make me cry! I'm so proud of everyone who goes through this hell!!!
I don't see the parody. It is a sung documentary. ** Great job. Love it :-D
Word
The truth hurts. Don't forget, no one wants you in industry if you don't get that postdoc.
Got to get that uber license heheh

No, but I’m wondering how many good scientists we’ve lost to music careers...

One more year to go.
