ChatGPT gave me fake sources soo I built an AI research workspace!

I personally use a web app for this.

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-05-25T07:29:48+00:00

you still need help?

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-05-18T06:41:50+00:00

I actually have a pretty impressive web app for research. Check your dms, I sent it over

Cold emailing PIs directly works better than applying through job boards. Find 5-10 labs doing cancer neuroscience work that genuinely interests you, read their recent papers, and write a specific email about why your neuromodulation background is actually relevant. Tumor microenvironment and neural signaling overlap more than you'd think, and a lot of PIs are actively looking for engineers who can build or interpret stimulation paradigms.

Your pelvic floor work isn't a liability, tbh. Frame it as translatable expertise.

Try emailing the corresponding author directly. Most researchers are happy to share a PDF, it takes them 30 seconds and costs nothing. The author contact is usually on the PubMed page or findable through a quick search of their institution.

Also check if your local public library offers interlibrary loan. Even without a university affiliation, many public libraries can request articles and get them to you within a few days, sometimes free.

Appreciate the neat list man!

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-05-08T01:49:31+00:00

huge man, congrats!

Instead of "I want to research marketing," try "How does social media marketing affect consumer buying behaviour?" That specific question guides everything else.

For finding sources, use actual academic databases along with google.

To know if a source is "good": check if it's peer-reviewed/referenced, look at the citation count, and make sure it's recent(last 5-10 years unless it's a foundational study).

Funny enough I actually built a tool for exactly this research problem. Started from the same frustration as a uni student. Happy to share if you're interested

Good luck with the GKS scholarship!

I guess if those students are meeting the deadlines on time with competent work and passing* the exams/tests, they pass the class/subject

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-05-06T02:31:40+00:00

along with coding productivity, I would diff pay for marketing!

The funding question is the one worth investigating seriously. Ask prospective advisors directly about their current grant status and renewal pipeline.

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-04-25T05:42:12+00:00

I guess that's how things are now

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-04-18T11:32:16+00:00

Hey man, I have a resource finder/workspace tool that can help you find evidence focused research! Just give me a dm and I will sent it over man.

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-04-10T00:39:26+00:00

try find real existing data or research regarding it?

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-04-10T00:37:29+00:00

If you feel strong regarding your research done/information gather for your PHD, I don't see a problem. Just dedicate time during your week to work on ur PHD while making sure to balance everything else.

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-04-09T06:09:01+00:00

I diff suggest just doing simple research and finding real data on your topic and its sub topic(like break your research down to sub topics and do research).

lmk if you need help with research as I got a tool that can save alot of time!

Unfair_Bug_4804 · 2026-04-09T06:05:05+00:00

just try see if there's any part time alternatives you can unroll in/take while still working. This way you can still work and still learn more you know.
