randomized control trials

Note: L-Note 随机对照试验 - 维基百科,自由的百科全书 随机对照试验的基本方法是,将研究对象 随机分组 ,对不同组实施不同的 干预 ,在这种严格的条件下对照效果的不同。在研究对象数量足够的情况下,这种方法可以抵消已知和未知的 混杂因素 对各组的影响。

I was well prepared for the coursework at MIT, because the master’s degree I had completed in France was much more technical than what most American students go through before the Ph.D.

Note: L-Note 法国的研究生教育(经济/金融)比美国的研究生教育(硕士)更能有效的训练 education

My older brother Colas—who is a professor of philosophy in France and, despite that, one of the most down to earth and practical persons I have ever met (at least in academia)—gave me two pieces of advice when I asked him how one goes about starting a career as an academic. research advice

the underlying principle is essential: slow and steady progress.

Note: L-Note 第一条建议是慢但踏实的进步

The second thing Colas said was, “Write the book (or the article) that you would have liked to read, but you could not find.So first and foremost, your research has to excite you enough for it to be a treat! And what better treat than reading a good article at the same time you’re working on it?

Note: L-Note 第二条建议可能也需要调整一下,就是说做你想知道的但别人却没有发表出来的工作,比如说我真的不知道为什么汪莹老师的PBDT电解质没用磁场处理,如果我自己试一下可能就知道了,但是这算不上一个课题,如果往大了说,现在做的课题可能就算是吧,现在除了汪莹老师的PBDT好像还没有分子取向的聚合物电解质需要passion and curiosity

我想这是我现在keep in mind的一个思路,比如说学术工作者为什么要记笔记,怎么记笔记,别人没有写过,至少我找了这么久都没找到,因此这对于我来说就是一个大好的机会开始写。 做研究也是这样,需要创新,但是恐怕不能事事都按照兴趣点来,否则没法在这个社会中活下来 how to be a qualified doctor Digital Garden
