This video is my advice for incoming and first-year graduate students. You might also find it useful if you’re interested in learning more about what you can expect in grad school or if you’re on the fence about starting a grad program
.
Here are my top pieces of advice (in the order they appear in the video)
1: master your elevator pitch 00:35
2: think of the big picture 2:32
3: understand your program’s timeline 3:35
4: have a long term plan for funding 4:45
5: set boundaries 6:29
6 (I accidentally said ‘fifth’ twice oops): find your mentors (plural) 9:03
7: find your people 10:35
Bonus advice! 11:50
8: start a reference manager (and learn how to use it)
9: start your professional network NOW
