How to be a good graduate student? Li Jin Fudan University/CAS-MPG Institute of Computational Biology
What should be the goals? To receive higher education and to be more knowledgeable To achieve higher social status To make your family proud To find a better job To be wealthy To make more contribution to the society To save the world To do something you really really really really really like
Me Society Family University Professor
What does a graduate student should achieve? Learn to be a good scientist Independent thinking Independent research capability Effective communication/presentation Reasonable writing skills Laboratory skills Grantsmanship: Planning, design, and budget preparation People skills Organizing skills
What does a university/institute want? Tuition Resources from government/agency Labors Future scholars!
What does a professor want? Teaching is required ‘Cheap’ labors Young and active brains Future helpers/followers Future colleagues
What do I want? Independent researchers Big brains with some hands Better scholars Mature/Well-rounded Vision and paying attention to BBQ Good common sense Excellent logic Effective communicators
What is science? Falsifiable Hypothesis driven Identify/develop testable hypothesis Know the field/know the history
A Good Scientist Brains versus hands Profession versus occupation Maturity Importance of collaboration Resourceful Grantsmanship
My student career Fudan undergraduate Fudan graduate University of Texas – CDPG University of Texas – Houston Stanford U 97- Faculty
GSBS, UT Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Founded in dozen interdisciplinary programs 400 faculties/<400 students Allow switch program freely Four core courses: quantitative, system, cell biology, biochemistry/mol biol. Train top researchers who can survive fierce competition
What are the lessons at UT? Positive –A lot of readings/discussions/seminars –Excellent program: Breadth and depth –Training for faculty career Negative –Not enough opportunities to interact with top researchers –Narrow-minded
Course work Core courses: didactic + research Core course + Specialty courses
Quality Controls Admission Course work Qualifying exams (written + oral) Defense Committees: –Advisory Committee –Exam Committee –Supervisory Committee
What I leant at Stanford? Many top researchers/talents Excellent atmosphere Not well-structured: good for postdocs but may not be good for students
Presentation Very very important Practice and training are important Anybody can be a good presenter
Attending meetings Very important and wonderful opportunity Don’t waste your time to do sight-seeing Know people and their research Make yourself known Sense the art of science and feel the future Networking
Seminar Ask stupid questions. If you don’t think you are stupid, then you are not stupid.
Writing One of the most important skills in research Papers Grant proposals
How to use your supervisor Knowledge Experience Resource
Where are frontiers? Those defined by others Those defined by yourselves How to find frontiers?
How to write a good manuscript? Think before you write Prepare an outline/story line Fill the outline with ‘messages’ Logic is important: good story vs bad story Write clearly/use short sentences Be explicit as much as you can Good discussion is important
How to be creative? Use your common sense Practice your brain Make mistakes and learn from it Jot down your thoughts (good or bad)
