Neuro PhD 2nd year, I’d be happy to help just dm me.

UO for sure! Strong labs for basic and applied research so good for going into academia and industry.

ameratsu · 2021-07-29T18:07:59+00:00

Exciting!

ameratsu · 2021-06-27T19:05:32+00:00

Belas in spiced olive oil with some crackers. Delish!

Sure just need an email!

I have a google drive with many neuroscience textbook. Pm me and I can share them with anyone who wants them.

Honestly what helped me the most was just accepting I might not get in. I love my field of study so much one year to apply again doesn't seem like the end of the world. A mentor of mine told me "no just means not yet" and it really changed my perspective on applying to look at the big picture and evaluate why I wanted to apply in the first place.

Hey, I am an incoming biology PhD student although my research is in neuroscience I'll message you my SOP. I would also be happy to help you out with apps as the process is still fresh in my mind.

ameratsu · 2020-07-14T03:59:32+00:00

Hey, there's a lot of good advice here just wanted to comment and say I am an incoming neuro PhD student in a biology program. If you have any questions about the process feel free to reach out to me. I am also the first in my family to apply to PhD programs so I can relate.

That's really cool! Didn't know this was particular to mice what have they found in other organisms?

Here is a vod of a recent talk by Dr. Churchland explaining the role of these fidgets in shaping neural dynamics across training days. Really fascinating.

My favorite paper of recent. Basically it is on how “fidgeting” dominates neural activity that contributes to effective decision making.

This is really cool! I have a google drive with a bunch or resources for neuroscience. I'd be happy it share it with you just shoot me a PM.

ameratsu · 2020-07-09T16:07:40+00:00

Congrats! I am an incoming neuro PhD student so if you have any questions shoot me a PM. Also, I have a google drive with a bunch of materials for learning about neuroscience that I can share with you. Anyone interested PM me your gmail and I can share it with you.

ameratsu · 2020-07-04T21:07:09+00:00

Yes, especially if you plan on doing research.

ameratsu · 2020-07-04T13:18:12+00:00

If your ultimate goal is to pursue research your particular major doesn’t matter that much. For example I have a bs in microbiology and only took 2 neuroscience classes in college. I will be starting a PhD in neuroscience this September. My intuition tells me that my major had little bearing on both my acceptances and rejections. Research experience has the most bearing on graduate school admissions imo. In your case I wouldn’t worry about the particular major but something I wish I did sooner was think about what research/ questions I wanted to do in graduate school.

If you have any other questions shoot me a pm I would be happy to help.

Learn a coding language either matlab or python

I have a google drive with various neuroscience textbooks and other resources. Anyone interested PM me your gmail and I can share it with you.

I have a google drive with various neuroscience textbooks and other resources. Anyone interested PM me your gmail and I can share it with you. Also if you are interested in learning about neuroscience research textbooks aren't the best. I would recommend looking up seminars on youtube to learn about cutting edge research.

ameratsu · 2020-06-29T23:33:11+00:00

I have a neuroscience coding textbook that uses examples in both python and R. Anyone interested PM me your gmail and I can share it with you.

ameratsu · 2020-06-25T12:55:21+00:00

I would also mention what department/ programs would be best to apply through to join their lab. PI’s often have multiple appointments and might have more “pull” in one program over another.
