How to handle having depression in a research career?

I'm looking to become a psychology researcher. I understand that research careers can be fairly stressful. However, I've also suffered from depression for a decade and expect I will still be dealing with it when I attain my career. How can I go about handling my illness while also successfully pursuing my passion? What kind of practices should I employ while on the job, and what mindset should I have? #research #psychology #mental-health #mental-illness #psychiatry #clinical-psychology #depression #stress #passion #science #brain-sciences #highered #phd

How to introduce yourself to a professor you want to study under in *grad school*?

I will be applying to Psychology Ph.D. programs this fall, and I was wondering how best to introduce myself to PIs I want to work with. For example: - What should I include in an email? - What should I say about myself? What should I say about them? - What questions do I need to ask them? #psychology #college #graduate-school #grad-school #doctorate #phd #interview #research #graduate #application #interview

What kind of transportation jobs involve psychology?

I am currently pursuing my bachelors in psychology and am interested in research. However, I also am really interested in transportation (Amtrak, light rail networks, public transportation companies, etc.). What kinds of jobs in transportation might relate to these type of transportation companies? Is there something interesting I would be qualified for with a bachelors in psychology only? #psychology #psychologist #transportation #train #bus #subway #amtrak #philadelphia #research #commuting #travel #transport #transit

I have three plain career choices: AI researcher, theoretical physicist or ethical hacker. What should I choose?

I’ve narrowed down my career choices to these three career paths, based on my interests. I can either go into the AI field and help spearhead cutting-edge research into making a humanoid AI; I can become a theoretical physicist spearheading research in quantum mechanics, or become an ethical hacker and start a company providing AV and pen-testing services. I’m quite confused, and I’d like to choose a career that a) pays well *enough* and b) challenges me, but not overwhelmingly. I really, really would not want to become an analyst. I’m an INTP, if that helps. #career #research #ethicalhacking #physics #quantum #artificialintelligence #science

Suggestions for job hunting in SF with no industry experience

My name is Chiara and I'm a biomedical engineer from Italy. I've done a double master degree program with my university in Italy and UIC in Chicago. Now, I'm on OPT (Optical Practical Training) working permission and I moved to San Francisco looking for great opportunities to start with. I do not have internship, but I had a lot of research experience and a strong background in problem solving. #research #engineer #biomedical #sanfrancisco #suggestions

How can I get into an operations research career in the construction industry?

I am a college sophomore now majoring in civil engineering, and by the end of this summer I would have completed 4 summer internships: 2 in construction project engineering/general contracting, and 2 in civil engineering research (specifically in environmental engineering/water resources and structural engineering). While making plans and ideas for my academic and professional goals for next year and in the future, I reflected on my interests and passion for this field and how they changed over time. I find myself deeply committed to the construction industry in general, and definitely want to pursue my career in it after graduating college. At the same time, I have a variety of interests that overlap each other, and I am wondering how I should go about integrating them in my long-term professional life. So that got me to thinking about operations research as an option; I would like to immerse myself in both STEM and management of construction, in a data-driven environment that benefits and merges academia and industry, as previous research studies have done before. However, I don't know how I should proceed about this seemingly abstract goal, and my online research so far points to no summer opportunities, whether in academic research or industrial research, for a civil engineering undergraduate to apply their education and/or expand on it, within an operations research context. What should be my next step then? I am also aware, that currently operations research is much more oftenly associated with applied mathematics, computer science, physics, and business/economics than construction, per say. Overall, with my hopes in operations research, I don't think I've strayed away from my passion in civil engineering and construction, but rather that I use them in an innovative position that reflects society's needs, similar to the concept of supply and demand in terms of employment opportunities. #civil-engineering #STEM #datascience #management #operations-research #construction #construction-management #construction-engineering #research #engineering #internships

This is for a research so after answering my question, if you want, please state your first and last name. How hard are the courses leading up to be a pediatrician? Is it difficult to work in a fast pace environment such as a hospital? Is it easier to be a general pediatrician or a pediatric surgeon?

Do global internships benefit you when it comes to veterinary school applications??

I'm currently an undergraduate looking to apply to vet school in a few years. I know that having relevant experience is crucial, so I've been applying for lots of internships. I fond some summer opportunities abroad, but there are steep program fees and I'm wondering if entry into these would be more beneficial to my application since most revolve around research or wildlife rehabilitation with animals in a setting that may not be as readily available in the US. #internship #science #college #veterinary #job #admissions #veterinary-school #vet-school #veterinarian #research #global #grad-school #graduate-school #resume #application #work

When studying how do you make it the most effective?

I have been doing some research on how to keep on top of studying so that you don't fall behind. In my research I found it says to spend about 15-20 minutes studding a subject each day but it doesn't say what to study. That doesn't seam like a lot of time to get a whole lot of time to get things done. Can someone please clarify this for me. Thanks in advance! #research #SeptOct2018 #NewStudent #Studying

If I don’t do research in college, will it affect my chances of getting into medical school?

I’ve heard that research opportunities present themselves to students in college. However, what if I never get the opportunity to be chosen to participate in a conducted research investigation? Will it lower my chances of getting in to a medical school? #research #medical-research

Are there many job opportunities for research outside of being a Professor?

I would like to pursue a career in research within water treatment/ desalination, however I haven't had much luck in determining whether I'll be able to find a job once I complete college. Are there any resources/ insight that might be helpful in my search. Are most research jobs at Universities? #research #job opportunities #water treatment #desalination
