5 ACCOUNTS YOU SHOULD HAVE AS A PHD Have you ever

HOW I ORGANIZE MY RESEARCH PROJECT FILES

To keep my research organized I organize by category and projects:

Main folders:
📁 Group Meetings
📁 Presentations and Conferences
📁 Peer Review
📁 Coursework
📁 Projects
📁 Personal

Project Subfolders
📁 Manuscript
📁 Data
📁 Literature

Setting up my files in this way allows me to think about things in terms of entire projects! What is your strategy for organizing your research files?

BEHAVIOR I HAD TO UNLEARN AS A PHD STUDENT.

As am ambitious kid, I always aimed high for my grades and achievements. But when it came to talking about them publicly, I always felt like I needed to downplay it because I didn’t want to sound like I was bragging.

Now I’m almost 30 and during my job interview process, I still found it so hard to talk about my success, even though that’s the point of an interview! It was so uncomfortable, and I had to keep reminding myself that I have permission to talk about my success. And that what I’m feeling is the result of years of socialization where I was overtly told that I should be “humble” and not “brag.” There’s nothing wrong with self-promotion. Especially in the workplace, and on the job hunt, where sometimes your best advocate is yourself.

Have you ever felt this way?

I ALMOST LOST ALL MY DATA (STORYTIME)

I bought a new hard drive to keep my work separate from my other files for my post-doc position. The drive worked fine for a few months until one day I connected it to my computer, but the file explorer showed nothing on the device. And panic ensued. I didn't have half of my work backed up anywhere else.

I tried all the tricks to get it to work, and after an hour of trying, it finally showed my files.

Throughout my Ph.D., I was pretty good about following the 3-2-1 rule. This moment reminded me that I needed to have other backups. You can't rely on only one storage format!

How do you store and organize your data?
