隨著COVID-19流行病席卷全球,許多高校科研工作都被迫中斷了,研究生們被迫在家科研辦公。如何高效地利用在家的時間,做一些有益于自身發(fā)展的事情呢?這里Science上給出未來科學(xué)家們十條中肯的建議,碼住收藏起來吧!
1. Take care of?yourself.
As a first step,don’t neglect your physical and mental health. Meditate. Do jumping jacks inyour living room. Practice yoga. Whatever it is that works for you, do what ittakes to care for your body and mind.
1.好好照顧自己
第一步,不要忽視自己的身心健康。你可以冥想、開合跳、瑜伽或者任何能使你身心愉悅的方式。
2. Learn a new?skill.
Let’s face it.If you’re stuck at home, you’re probably not going to become an expert on howto run a mass spectrometer. But you could beef up your computer programmingskills—for instance, by learning how to create a fancy new graph in R or how toproduce documents in LaTeX. You could also read a book about a new topic orcircle back to that online course that you never finished.
2. 學(xué)習(xí)新的技能
首先你需要接受如果你被困在家里你是不可能成為操控質(zhì)譜儀專家的這個現(xiàn)實,但是呢,你卻可以提高你的計算機編程技能,例如,通過學(xué)習(xí)如何在R中創(chuàng)建新的圖形或如何在LaTeX中生成文檔。你還可以閱讀新主題的書,或者完成從未完成的網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程。
3. Revisit that
long forgotten project.
Somewhere in the deep, dark depths of yourcomputer’s file system, do you have an unfinished manuscript or unpublisheddata? If so, then you might want to use this time to dust off the files andfigure out whether what you have is, in fact, publishable.
3. 重新開啟那個被塵封的項目。
在計算機文件系統(tǒng)深處的的某個地方,你是否有未完成的手稿或未發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)?如果是這樣,那么你可以利用這段時間清理文件并弄清它們是否是可發(fā)布的。
4. Promote your?work online.
Consider devoting time to a bit of marketing. Does your personal website need updating? Have you been meaning to set up a Twitter profile and learn what hashtags are? Would you like to write a popular science article? Or create a YouTube video about your research? If so, this might be the perfect time to wiggle your way out from underneath the rock you’ve been living under and find new avenues for connecting with other researchers and sharing your work. If you’re struggling with social isolation at home, then social media might also help with that—giving you a way to interact and commiserate with other scientists, such as those on?#AcademicTwitter.
4. 在線推進你的工作
考慮花一些時間進行營銷。您的個人網(wǎng)站需要更新嗎?您是否打算設(shè)置Twitter個人資料并了解一些標(biāo)簽?您想寫一篇科普文章嗎?還是制作有關(guān)您的研究的YouTube視頻?如果是這樣,那么這可能是個絕佳的時機,讓您從一直生活的圈子中走出來,找到與其他未來科學(xué)家們一起分享科研工作的新途徑。如果您在家里面臨社交隔離的困擾,那么社交媒體也可能會對此有所幫助-為您提供一種與其他科學(xué)家進行互動和同情的方式。
5. Create a?graphical abstract of your research.
Graphicalabstracts—self-explanatory visual summaries of the main findings of yourresearch—are an increasingly popular way to communicate science. They take timeto make, but they are a perfect eye-catcher and are recyclable. Once you’vemade one, you can place it on posters, presentation slides, papers, and socialmedia platforms. It could even help you build your personal brand.
5. 創(chuàng)建研究課題的抽象圖解。
抽象圖解是研究者對于研究內(nèi)容的自我解釋性的總結(jié),是一種越來越流行的科學(xué)交流方式。它們需要一些時間來制作,但它們非常醒目并且可循環(huán)利用。制作完成后,你可以將其放置在海報、演示幻燈片、論文和社交媒體平臺上。它甚至可以幫助你建立個人品牌。

6. Apply for?funding.
You mightbenefit from spending time scouring the internet for fellowships, grants, and awards.Don’t just look in the most obvious places, such as federal grant agency websites. Take a look around for industry awards,?lower profile fellowships, and littlepots of research funding that you might be able to apply for. Even if you don’treceive an award, the process of applying will help you master the skill ofgrant writing.
6. 申請資金
花時間在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上尋找獎學(xué)金、助學(xué)金和獎項,你會從中受益很多哦。不要只看最矚目的獎項網(wǎng)站,例如聯(lián)邦贈款機構(gòu)的網(wǎng)站??纯粗車男袠I(yè)獎勵,研究金以及您可能可以申請到的研究經(jīng)費。即使你沒有獲得獎勵,申請過程也將幫助您掌握很多寫作的技巧。
7. Think about?your career plans.
When you’re in the lab, it’s easy to focus on your next experiment and neglect long-term career planning. So, consider using some of your homebound time to learn more about yourself and your career options. You could read a?book?about career planning, test out career options with online?job simulations, or use free introspection tools, such as?myIDP. These thingswill help you reflect on the skills you have, brainstorm skills you’d like todevelop, and think about where you see yourself headed in the future.
7. 考慮一下未來的職業(yè)計劃
當(dāng)你在實驗室中時總是專注于實驗操作,而忽略長期的職業(yè)規(guī)劃。因此,建議用你的一些閑暇時間來了解有關(guān)職業(yè)選擇的更多信息。你可以閱讀有關(guān)職業(yè)規(guī)劃的書,通過在線職業(yè)模擬測試職業(yè)選擇,或使用免費的自省工具,例如myIDP。這些東西將幫助分析自己擁有的技能、你想發(fā)展的頭腦風(fēng)暴技巧,并思考你未來的發(fā)展方向。
8. Conduct?informational interviews.
If you have afew ideas about jobs that might interest you, then take this time to reach outto professionals who currently hold those jobs. In the midst of a pandemic,it’s not appropriate to ask them to meet up for coffee. But you can ask themfor a quick phone call or Skype chat. The reality is that the people whom you’dlike to speak with may be working from home too. What’s more, they might beitching for more social contact. So, informational interviews could be a goodway to break isolation, learn about someone’s career, and build a network,while still keeping a distance.
8. 進行信息采訪
如果你對感興趣的工作有一些想法,可以花點時間與目前擔(dān)任這些工作的專業(yè)人員聯(lián)系。在疫情期間,讓他們見面喝咖啡是不合適的。但是你可以和他們進行快速電話通話或Skype聊天?;蛟S,你想與之交談的人也可能在家中工作,而且,他們可能也渴望獲得更多的社交聯(lián)系。因此,進行信息采訪可能是打破孤立,了解某人的職業(yè)并建立人脈的一種好方法。
9. Be nice to?your fellow humans.
If you live withothers, being cooped up with them fulltime might be less fun than you imaginedit to be. Channel your frustrations into something harmless—for instance, bypunching a pillow, exhausting yourself with pushups, or placing a tea towelbetween your teeth and screaming as loud as you can. Whatever you do, don’tpunch anyone.
9.友善對待和你生活在一起的人
如果你與他人一起生活,24小時與一個人呆在一起會比想象的更加無趣。將挫敗感引導(dǎo)到不會產(chǎn)生傷害的事物中,例如,打個枕頭,俯臥撐使自己精疲力盡,或者在您的牙齒之間放一塊茶巾,然后大聲尖叫。無論您做什么,都不要打人哦。
10. Do fun?stuff.
Close your eyesand think back to the time before you went to grad school. What was giving youjoy? Is there an old hobby you can pick up again? One upside of your homeconfinement is that you no longer need to spend time commuting back and forthto work. Can you reallocate that time to doing something that will bring youjoy—or, at the very least, alleviate some stress?
10. 做有趣的事情
閉上你的眼睛,回想一下你去讀研究生的時間,什么事情讓您感到高興?有舊的愛好可以重新拾起來嗎?居家的一個好處是,您不再需要花時間往返上下班上下班。您是否可以重新分配時間去做一些可以帶來快樂的事情-或至少減輕一些壓力?
It’s anincredibly turbulent time for most of us. Take care of yourself and others, andremember to wash your hands!
對我們大多數(shù)人來說,這是一個非常動蕩的時期。照顧好自己和他人,切記要洗手!
