Should i inform the editor about my previous peer-review? My manuscript came back from peer-review with mixed opinions and the editor decided to reject. After addressing the comments and a major rewrite, I am planning to submit to a another journal. I am wondering if I should let know the editor about previous reviews and provide them upon request? Do you think the editor would appreciate the transparency or perhaps this would facilitate the review process? | e614447b2d5dd8834be1f8e700055626c488e9fc688e5c72f178336dfdcf488c | [

What if I have to deploy during an MS or PhD program? I'm in the National Guard and I'm considering getting a MS followed by a PhD in computer science. I might have to go on a deployment (usually 9-12 months) during this time. I would have warning about it beforehand, maybe a matter of months or maybe a few years before having to go. Obviously I can leave and then continue work after returning and I would also try to spend time doing research while abroad, but I am wondering how much of a disruption this would be to education. In what ways would it set my research back? Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? | 76906d9594a94cb49b013c119545ed00c95e4718947dfdc9d81ebd91f2963172 | [

Will struggling in some academic courses make it difficult to pursue research or a career in Academia? I am currently in the 4th year of my Combined undergraduate+masters of Physics. I am particularly struggling in my condensed matter physics course. It's hard for me to get the intuition for it. I believe it's also due to the disturbance last semester due to the lockdown, hurrying home and losing half of the semester which covered some related topics. And in this semester continuous evaluation has replaced exams so the amount of tests and assignments per week makes it difficult to find time for anything. I am struggling to keep up and feeling very demotivated. I used to love classes, was always able to follow up and work on it, and I have a good GPA. But I am so lost right now that I am doubting my aim to go for a PhD. I understand that no one can be an expert in all topics of a field but if I struggle so much in my masters, do I even deserve a PhD? I wanted to go for higher studies in Astronomy. I have some research experience in it too but I am suddenly doubting everything. If people can shed some light, it'll be helpful. | ae8dc8205c54036b9d006dab24e7e00349c634996d49e369c27044fb9c266743 | [

I feel like my PhD advisor does not respect me, what should I do? Now first of all I have an ADHD and ADHD people at first may seem stupid when arguing things, because we get too exiceted sometimes and talk without thinking and say inaacurate things. There have been few indicedents like that, while discussing with him. It has been 8 months since I have been working with him. I did not have any serious research yet because I spent first 6 monts for extensive sutdying to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Now we started to new projects, but at first there were some dead end at the projects, and I was not giving all of my self to studying because I was adjusting to the new life in a foregin country. On the other side I am a very ambitious and idealistic guy, I love my subject and I aim very high. How ever I feel like my PhD advisor does not respect me, he does not listen to me very carefully, when I am explaining my argument I feel like he does not give much attention etc. This pisses me off deeply, and highly demotivates me. Also he ia micro managing me, by giving very specific tasks like calculate this and that, but I feel like a calculator rather than a scientist. I dont get a good guidiance but what I get is just directives. I have been sucsesful in my bachelor degree, and I had a good pape rin masters. But when I get too much micro managing and disrespect, this affects me and I can't focus. I feel like a moron and a child. How do I stop him getting under my skin, and start to work like a dynamo like I did before? The ADHD is I think makes people not respect me because it makes me too exicted and makes my mind runes a mile at a second. SO people just see me as a kid, with mediocre intelligence. I mean I agree that I asked him some trivial questions. But I don't deserve disrespect, and I had been very sucsefful in the past. So I know I have the potential. I really need some advice and directions. thank a lot. | 99d6dee33be2f4e47c6a704ab6ee66004a0e065f1e26afdbb3775a1010765147 | [

I feel like my PhD advisor does not respect me, what should I do? Now first of all I have an ADHD and ADHD people at first may seem stupid when arguing things, because we get too exiceted sometimes and talk without thinking and say inaacurate things. There have been few indicedents like that, while discussing with him. It has been 8 months since I have been working with him. I did not have any serious research yet because I spent first 6 monts for extensive sutdying to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Now we started to new projects, but at first there were some dead end at the projects, and I was not giving all of my self to studying because I was adjusting to the new life in a foregin country. On the other side I am a very ambitious and idealistic guy, I love my subject and I aim very high. How ever I feel like my PhD advisor does not respect me, he does not listen to me very carefully, when I am explaining my argument I feel like he does not give much attention etc. This pisses me off deeply, and highly demotivates me. Also he ia micro managing me, by giving very specific tasks like calculate this and that, but I feel like a calculator rather than a scientist. I dont get a good guidiance but what I get is just directives. I have been sucsesful in my bachelor degree, and I had a good pape rin masters. But when I get too much micro managing and disrespect, this affects me and I can't focus. I feel like a moron and a child. How do I stop him getting under my skin, and start to work like a dynamo like I did before? The ADHD is I think makes people not respect me because it makes me too exicted and makes my mind runes a mile at a second. SO people just see me as a kid, with mediocre intelligence. I mean I agree that I asked him some trivial questions. But I don't deserve disrespect, and I had been very sucsefful in the past. So I know I have the potential. I really need some advice and directions. thank a lot. | 99d6dee33be2f4e47c6a704ab6ee66004a0e065f1e26afdbb3775a1010765147 | [

Should I go to my PhD graduation/hooding ceremony? It's been a long year. I'm still smarting from disappointments on the job market as I try to finish my dissertation. I get along with my advisor fine, but I'm so ready to move on to the next chapter. Also, my family won't be able to attend. Did you go to your graduation? If you didn't, do you wish that you had?

Left with no alternative but to quit postdoc? My partner and I are both postdocs in well funded research institutes in similar fields - unfortunately they are both half way across the country from each other. We have spent the last 4 years desperately trying to find positions close enough so we can live together again....and time is up. The biological clock is ticking and we should have started a family years ago. I feel betrayed and angry with academia. Both institute have many "happy couples" at every level in the same building - it really feels like its just us who cannot be together. Even 2 jobs in the same city would mean the world to us. We both have been offered contract extensions but I really don't want to take mine - why the hell should my reward for: * Giving up every hope and dream I had - buy a house, get a dog, see my family more, start a family, have a social life. * Nearly bankrupt myself - double income means nothing if you have double bills PLUS the insane cost of travelling every weekend to the other half of the country. * Struggle to manage a research project without working weekends Be to just do it again for another few years? There's no gratitude for the sacrifices we've made. If 2 academics with 24 years of degree/research experience between them do not deserve to live together and have basic human rights like a family, whilst still being employed - then SCREW this. I've no desire to improve lives with research anymore after being treated like this continually and expected to be *grateful* for the opportunity. My question for academia as a whole is: We both are in the same position - our projects struggled to get going but are really starting to get moving now. If either of us quit now however then there is nothing to show for it (no paper, no reference etc) then it means quitting academia for good most likely? Alternatively both our supervisors could be in a terrible position trying to salvage our work if we dropped it and walked out? What's to stop either of us laying down an ultimatum - give the other a job here or I quit. Or is this just cheap blackmail from seriously underleveraged postdocs? | 82b85ddc4c7cdf380735b01fd0501cfd734a3d4e0178998de58b1d3466c8e6f8 | [

Left with no alternative but to quit postdoc? My partner and I are both postdocs in well funded research institutes in similar fields - unfortunately they are both half way across the country from each other. We have spent the last 4 years desperately trying to find positions close enough so we can live together again....and time is up. The biological clock is ticking and we should have started a family years ago. I feel betrayed and angry with academia. Both institute have many "happy couples" at every level in the same building - it really feels like its just us who cannot be together. Even 2 jobs in the same city would mean the world to us. We both have been offered contract extensions but I really don't want to take mine - why the hell should my reward for: * Giving up every hope and dream I had - buy a house, get a dog, see my family more, start a family, have a social life. * Nearly bankrupt myself - double income means nothing if you have double bills PLUS the insane cost of travelling every weekend to the other half of the country. * Struggle to manage a research project without working weekends Be to just do it again for another few years? There's no gratitude for the sacrifices we've made. If 2 academics with 24 years of degree/research experience between them do not deserve to live together and have basic human rights like a family, whilst still being employed - then SCREW this. I've no desire to improve lives with research anymore after being treated like this continually and expected to be *grateful* for the opportunity. My question for academia as a whole is: We both are in the same position - our projects struggled to get going but are really starting to get moving now. If either of us quit now however then there is nothing to show for it (no paper, no reference etc) then it means quitting academia for good most likely? Alternatively both our supervisors could be in a terrible position trying to salvage our work if we dropped it and walked out? What's to stop either of us laying down an ultimatum - give the other a job here or I quit. Or is this just cheap blackmail from seriously underleveraged postdocs? | 82b85ddc4c7cdf380735b01fd0501cfd734a3d4e0178998de58b1d3466c8e6f8 | [

We both have been offered contract extensions but I really don't want to take mine - why the hell should my reward for: * Giving up every hope and dream I had - buy a house, get a dog, see my family more, start a family, have a social life. * Nearly bankrupt myself - double income means nothing if you have double bills PLUS the insane cost of travelling every weekend to the other half of the country. * Struggle to manage a research project without working weekends Be to just do it again for another few years? There's no gratitude for the sacrifices we've made. If 2 academics with 24 years of degree/research experience between them do not deserve to live together and have basic human rights like a family, whilst still being employed - then SCREW this. I've no desire to improve lives with research anymore after being treated like this continually and expected to be *grateful* for the opportunity. My question for academia as a whole is: We both are in the same position - our projects struggled to get going but are really starting to get moving now. If either of us quit now however then there is nothing to show for it (no paper, no reference etc) then it means quitting academia for good most likely? Alternatively both our supervisors could be in a terrible position trying to salvage our work if we dropped it and walked out? What's to stop either of us laying down an ultimatum - give the other a job here or I quit. Or is this just cheap blackmail from seriously underleveraged postdocs? | 82b85ddc4c7cdf380735b01fd0501cfd734a3d4e0178998de58b1d3466c8e6f8 | [

Got my own funding for a postdoc. How much do I "owe" the PI? I was awarded a personal fellowship that essentially gives me funding for a postdoctoral position. The application involved me writing a proposal, and then the PI submitting the proposal along with some admin busywork on their side. It has been about half a year since I joined, and the PI has been very helpful to me, giving me all the freedom that I desire while assisting whenever I ask for help. Now, although I certainly share some common interests with the PI and their group, since the start of the fellowship I ended up working mostly on my personal projects or things with other collaborators. I can blame the pandemic-induced reduction in physical meetings that could kickstart new projects with the group, I can blame the PI for not pushing me to join some of their ongoing studies, but ultimately the main reason is my choosing the path of least resistance and pursuing the projects that I know will lead to good publications without having to study new ideas from scratch. Of course technically I don't *have* to work for the PI as I have my own funding. But the funding was obtained with the support of the PI, and the PI as well as their administrative staff have gone above and beyond to help me since I joined. I have this constant feeling that I should be doing something together with them to "pay back" for the help that I received, even if it's not formally required. I wanted to hear others' thoughts about this. Is my feeling of "owing" something to the PI justified? In case I end up not having *any* joint projects with the PI, would this reflect badly on me? Am I burning a bridge with this PI by not actively pursuing projects with them? | b7738bf8a8f0c9090a0a75d4ce2a1c0a35e1a3bf91e3180fba876b35fb9a67fe | [

Quitting postdoc fellowship to change careers completely Long story short, COVID really did a number on my mental health and made me realize that I’ve been forcing myself to continue down my career for everyone else (family/PI pressure, guilt of using funding) and not for myself. I decided that I need to leave my fellowship and change careers entirely, but I’m not sure what the correct etiquette is. I wasn’t really given a formal contract either, so I’m wondering if breaking this decision to my mentors during our next scheduled meeting and giving a two week notice would be appropriate? Any insight would be appreciated! | 65131dee5a8e2b95c3a49ddc1cf1b282e0a1258e5d09d596a485dfb3d33290c0 | [

What to expect when quitting a T32-funded postdoc position? I'm 6 months into a postdoc position and I hate it. I won't go into a lot of detail but this is such a bad fit for me. My PI exhibits really controlling/condescending behavior that contributes to a toxic lab environment. The job description for the position doesn't match what I'm doing at all, and I'm not having an enjoyable or productive time here. I've already made up my mind to leave and started applying for jobs recently. I'm funded on a T32 with a payback obligation, so if I leave before 1 year is up then I'll have to payback the salary I've already made. Does anyone have experience quitting their postdoc in a situation like this? Is it a longer exit process than quitting a regular job that doesn't have a payback obligation? Did you get to pay in installments or was it just one sum? | 34acdfb6795cd1e1495b5846533d01cde207a2a9061419a4112e8b9755a2a125 | [

The job description for the position doesn't match what I'm doing at all, and I'm not having an enjoyable or productive time here. I've already made up my mind to leave and started applying for jobs recently. I'm funded on a T32 with a payback obligation, so if I leave before 1 year is up then I'll have to payback the salary I've already made. Does anyone have experience quitting their postdoc in a situation like this? Is it a longer exit process than quitting a regular job that doesn't have a payback obligation? Did you get to pay in installments or was it just one sum? | 34acdfb6795cd1e1495b5846533d01cde207a2a9061419a4112e8b9755a2a125 | [

How long before my PhD graduation should I apply for postdocs? Hi guys, I'm currently in my last year of PhD and I should graduate around January 2023. I work in molecular biology and biophysics in France. I'm looking into postdocs in the US and I've listed a few labs that I'm interested in. When do you think would be the best moment to start sending emails to ask about open positions ? Also, I have only one paper published at the moment as 2nd author, another in submission, and a third one in writing. Should I wait until those are published to send emails or not? One small other question : in France, there are mostly four categories of people in labs: technicians (BS), engineers (MS), PhD students, and then all the people who have a PhD. From what we saw, the engineer category is not really there in US academic labs. My wife is a scientist, with a MS in plant biology. She's working in research labs as an engineer and we were wondering how easy it would be for her to find work in the US. Can she go into an academic lab or should she look into industry positions? Thanks ! | 19318e405b8cedc7b15e36ac5d0c007ea6feedb60b9105fbeaaa70fb8fd0e22c | [

How common is it for postdocs or PhD holders to switch research interests? So I was just thinking, are all PhDs all set for life when they did their research back in their grad student days/post doc days? How rare is the switching of research interest after getting the degree. For example your research interest is environmental microbiology, then after some time you wanna delve in immunology or any of the likes? | e7d4566f8e67aadd663380e8cff505d7b1ea61102371cbe9d26c1a834197faf5 | [

How common is it for postdocs or PhD holders to switch research interests? So I was just thinking, are all PhDs all set for life when they did their research back in their grad student days/post doc days? How rare is the switching of research interest after getting the degree. For example your research interest is environmental microbiology, then after some time you wanna delve in immunology or any of the likes? | e7d4566f8e67aadd663380e8cff505d7b1ea61102371cbe9d26c1a834197faf5 | [

3 year postdoc in a new lab abroad or a 2.5 year non-tenure track assistant profship at the same place I did my phd? As the title more or less says, I am in a bit of a positive conundrum. I got my phd in september 2016 and did a one year postdoc on the same research project. I did my bachelors, masters and phd at the same institution. The question is, what now? Lets disregard family affairs and all but the scenarios are these: - I have a firm offer for a three year postdoc at new lab at a great European Technical University that would allow me move forward and do something new - same field, but more focused on one specific area of application as well as some things that are completely novel to me. Its also in another country, so that would mean I moved. - This has lead my current institution (and alma mater) to pool some money and offer me a non-tenure track assistant professorship for 2.5 years. This is a university that is about on par with the one from the previous offer. Both places want an answer now, obviously. I am very tempted by the first offer, but obviously the stability and surety of my home institution is alluring... and its a certainty that many publications will flow from the assistant professorship as well. So... what would you choose, dear redditors? | b5f80fea75f5242f77714fc2e22116c7d395dd2f52f6d3ff6498504529a1d484 | [

PhD / Postdocs / Professors, how do you come up with novel concepts for your projects on a daily basis? I'm a undergrad chemistry student who's been in a chemical biology lab for the past year and a half, and it's nothing but amazing to be working with a bunch of people who are pretty much experts in their own field. My mentor is a brilliant guy and throughout the year he has been giving me inputs on his plans and his works so i could help him, and everytime i talk to him i'm floored by how he, and my PI , or pretty much everyone in the lab group comes up with these novel, ingenious ideas. This severely freaks me out for grad school in the future because eventually I'll have to do the same thing, and in all honesty i do want to do it - i mean, after all the whole idea of research is to work on stuff that no one has really tried before. I've tried asking my own mentor on this and he pretty much tells me it eventually comes from reading. I'm not saying i doubt him, but i'm guessing he did leave out a lot of anguishing, frustrating and arduous work in his process of describing how he works these out. So academics of reddit, how do you eventually learn to develop novel ideas and concepts on a continuous basis? How long did it take for you to get used to it? | b2a5c255523090eed9b2a79a1ae77e54458d95d663034059d8340180d61fbebf | [

PhD / Postdocs / Professors, how do you come up with novel concepts for your projects on a daily basis? I'm a undergrad chemistry student who's been in a chemical biology lab for the past year and a half, and it's nothing but amazing to be working with a bunch of people who are pretty much experts in their own field. My mentor is a brilliant guy and throughout the year he has been giving me inputs on his plans and his works so i could help him, and everytime i talk to him i'm floored by how he, and my PI , or pretty much everyone in the lab group comes up with these novel, ingenious ideas. This severely freaks me out for grad school in the future because eventually I'll have to do the same thing, and in all honesty i do want to do it - i mean, after all the whole idea of research is to work on stuff that no one has really tried before. I've tried asking my own mentor on this and he pretty much tells me it eventually comes from reading. I'm not saying i doubt him, but i'm guessing he did leave out a lot of anguishing, frustrating and arduous work in his process of describing how he works these out. So academics of reddit, how do you eventually learn to develop novel ideas and concepts on a continuous basis?

Dealing with Burnout? I’m a 5th year neuroscience PhD student at an R01 university, and I’ve been burnt out for at least two years. I’ve lost basically all motivation and interest in my project, which has proven to be a dead-end. I’m not even close to a publication, and my mentor (to put it lightly) isn’t helpful or sympathetic. I’m also having a difficult time finding an alt-ac career I’d actually like, adding to the feeling of hopelessness. I’m a 5th year, so a masters degree seems like a very bad return on the time I’ve spent. But I’m simply at the end of my rope. Besides seeking professional help, does anyone in academia have strategies for recovering from burnout? TLDR: I’m a depressed grad student who needs to finish up.

What's the deal with putting stuff on ResearchGate? It has come to my attention that some people upload their dissertations, theses and other non-peer reviewed work on Research gate.

Is there any downside to uploading interesting research findings in this way? | 3bc12d7845e714393066a39b6f7e53617936632fd4448644943973bafa8e9722 | [

How to deal with academic differences with PI regarding how my research is published? I have a very good relationship with my PI and my time with him has been very productive. However, throughout my PhD I have been pushing under the carpet my academic differences with him. Let’s say my PI’s career was built around studying “molecule-X” and he is very attached to it. When I started my PhD, my project was also related to this molecule. However, as my project progressed, I moved into different directions and have generated what I believe are some exciting results not related to this molecule. The problem is that my PI keeps trying to somehow relate my findings to molecule-X because that is what his research has always been about. When I published my first paper, I didn’t object to this but now I feel this approach is hurting my research. I believe our findings are important on their own and trying to link them to molecule-x is not only undermining their importance but is also unethical because we don’t have sufficient evidence for such a connection. I recently got back the reviews for my second paper, and the major criticism the reviewers had was that we were portraying our results as a function of molecule-x without sufficient evidence. I completely agree with the reviewers but when drafting the response to the reviewers my PI again asked me to convince them about the importance of this molecule. I think part of the problem may be that all his grants are based on studying this molecule. I feel it will be much easier (and more scientifically accurate) for me to publish my results without linking them to molecule-x but my PI keeps insisting I don’t ‘dilute the importance’ of this molecule by focusing on other things. I understand this is a one-sided post and my PI’s side is not represented here but I am asking about this as an interpersonal issue about how I should approach this with my PI rather than about who is right or wrong. I also am not sure whose opinion matters more when it comes to how the research findings are published. My opinion as the first author or his opinion as the corresponding author? I dont want to publish something I dont believe in but also dont want to rock the boat. | 6c937fbfd7abb9dc9bc80931de3315bffa31ce6a9cbdbc560dcb195e1b44ccc6 | [

Dealing with being the "black sheep" in a research group An event happened yesterday afternoon that had left me reeling and hurt and trying to figure out what to do. My group used to consist of several people with a variety of projects, however most have graduated, leaving a postdoc and two other grad students working on one project, and me on something different. I should state that their project is the most funded, and it is quite obvious it is my advisor's most "passionate" project. My advisor's office is shared with another group that we work closely with, so for the time that I've been at grad school (1.5years), me and my other two group mates (1.5years and 0.5year) have been in an adjacent office. I consider the other two members to be some of my closest friends, and I've helped them with whatever they needed to ensure their research goes well. Over the past few months, my advisor had been alluding to us moving once the rest of the group members graduate, and we all agreed on Thursday during group meeting that we would move at the end of the semester. This gives time for the other members to clear their desks, etc. As it stood, two desks were "available", just filled with stuff from the other members. However yesterday, I come back from lab to find them halfway through moving. I asked the one that I have known the longest when they decided to move and he gave me an unapologetic "sorry for not telling you". I figured I would go ahead and move, but they filled the only other desk up to the brim with stuff, so now there is nowhere for me to go. So now, I'm on my lonesome, with my group and advisor is one office, and me alone in another. I'm not so much mad as to them moving, but the implication of what they did and how they did it worries me the most. What the heck do I do? I emailed my advisor about being unable up move, but no response as of yet. | 3973f50af37c0556e4a178c0b26ca71bef894c15dc7abab44f5b797bdb0c68aa | [

Dealing with being the "black sheep" in a research group An event happened yesterday afternoon that had left me reeling and hurt and trying to figure out what to do. My group used to consist of several people with a variety of projects, however most have graduated, leaving a postdoc and two other grad students working on one project, and me on something different. I should state that their project is the most funded, and it is quite obvious it is my advisor's most "passionate" project. My advisor's office is shared with another group that we work closely with, so for the time that I've been at grad school (1.5years), me and my other two group mates (1.5years and 0.5year) have been in an adjacent office. I consider the other two members to be some of my closest friends, and I've helped them with whatever they needed to ensure their research goes well.
