Finally getting to some of the interesting reads that I've kept open on my Firefox tabs...
I need to schedule weekend time (ha) to review the career advice published by Science. Looks like some good stuff in the homestretch of my grad "career." [hat tip]
Good things to keep in mind for post-doc training and keeping myself on task.
It is nice seeing what challenges lie ahead for first-year professors.
Reading through the comments on this post, it is interesting seeing the variety of publications that make up a dissertation across different disciplines. For me, in biomedical engineering, we're required to have one publication accepted and another publication submitted. When writing the dissertation, students write Introduction and Discussion chapters (and usually have several appendices) with middle chapters filled by the relevant publications verbatim. This is usually 3 chapters, with the final chapter in-prep for publication during the dissertation-submission stages. I'm in good shape, with two chapters done and a third one in second review with my advisor (but pending 2 experiments). I've got the Intro at about 80% ready for a first advisor-review and a solid outline of the 5 potential appendices that will probably be culled to 3. That reminds me...I should be writing!
