In today's episode, we discuss the future of precision medicine with our students from the Artificial Intelligence department of the Medical University of Vienna.
Communicating borders can be extremely hard, especially, for younger people. Thus, episode 13 addresses the question how to properly manage private and work life. And what happens if you are not able to properly manage it.
After years of studying and doing research the moment is finally here: You are done with your PhD! But what happens next? As an extremely qualified and highly specialized employee, where do you want to continue working? This question bothers lots of students, thus we want to ask already finished students how they managed to enter the life after their defense.
O.C.T. stands for optical coherence tomography and is a widely used medical imaging method, which was more or less invented together with the Med Uni. This is also a reason why Med Uni has a strong research focus on O.C.T. and is a great place for physicists and mathematician to acquire their PhD here.
University prepares your for lots of things, but what to expect at scientific events is usually not covered in classes. Starting your PhD confornts you with journal clubs, conferences and poster presentations. In our new episode "What am I supposed to do?" we talk about those events and if our expectations met reality in the end.
If you could give the younger version of yourself one advise, what would it be? In our 9th episode we talk with an (a bit) more advanced PhD student and a Post Doc about how to deal with trouble shooting and to manage expectations.
A few days ago the YSA hosted its biggest event, the annual YSA PhD Symposium, in which PhD students of the Medical University of Vienna are able to present their scientific work. With around 150 presenters one can imagine that this is quite a huge event, which requires lots of organization and project management skills. In "Behind the Scenes" we provide you with a little sneak peek at how to manage organization and differences between online vs. presence symposia.
Some say, the pandemic is almost over. Although, this quote is still open for discussions, most of our lectures are again in presence. And as we are all academically young PhD students, quite a lot of us have never experienced presence lectures, journal clubs and propedeutics. In "Camera off - Pyjamas on" we review the past two years and try to sum up advantages and disadvantages of online classes.
YSA and YLSA - who are we and what are we actually doing? These are just a few of the questions we'd like to ask our guests Felix Locker (YLSA) and Melanie Gsöllpointer (YSA) in today's podcast episode.
After our mentoring episode Old but Gold - Basic Science Edition, we are now super eager to hear our clinical science fellows which problems they are facing. And most important, if they have found solutions to those problems! Also episode 5 is designed in a peer-to-peer mentoring spirit, so that younger PhD students are provided with tips and tricks to face their everyday problems.
