Peter J. Feibelman is a solid-state physicist and Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"A young adviser, only recently on the road to a permanent research position, has a lot to prove, is understandably leery of being shown up by a student or postdoc, and is correspondingly unlikely to be generous with credit for ideas or progress. By contrast, advisers who have already made their mark"
"You have three important tasks in your posdoctoral years: You must decide in what area of science to make your name. You must finish at least one significant project. And, you must establish your identity in the research community sufficiently to land an assistant professorship or a junior position "
"People are largely motivated to spend money by fear, greed, and lust. Life is full of risks."
买了纸质版,anyway, a career in science need much more calculation
2023 #8 Van 还好,作为即将入学但是在很多个不同的实验室干过的phd学生觉得能得到一些insight,但不是那种会让人醍醐灌顶的内容。全书下来记住两个点,就是presentation的时候不要害怕放简单的内容因为可以让观众自我感觉良好,还有不要怕发小文章这样可以keep in spotlight。总之这本书带着辩证的眼光看还是ok的
