What's your best advice for pursuing a PhD?
对于读博,你有什么最好的建议吗?
ChemKnits164 赞2020/1/30
Choose your advisor wisely. Take time to stop and think and see the big picture. Mental health is important. So is physical health. Make some great friends, they will be your family. Remember that there are plenty of things that you CAN do with a Masters.
As a graduate student in (hopefully) the last year of PhD I wholeheartedly agree!
作为一个(希望是)博士最后一年的研究生,我举双手赞成!

To piggy-back off of this, a good way to find out if an advisor is good is to talk to the students who’ve worked with them. It’s easy to come off as a nice and supportive person when you are recruiting new students, but the people who have worked with them for years will know if that’s their real personality.
Omg I didn’t realize this was the same guy. I just got accepted into the McNair scholars program at the university of Nevada, Las Vegas and am starting the program this Friday!
This program has been amazing for a few of this community college professor’s students - hoping to see more in the years to come! It’s great to see you all here!
To finish that cool part of the story, the librarian did in fact call the police on him, when he refused to leave without the books.
The cops showed up, and when the librarian pointed the 9 year old asking for a book as the source of this "disturbance", they pretty much said "well, why don't you just give him the damn book?".
Late 50's and all, feels like that would still be a pretty rare reaction from the police. So that's pretty cool.
当时已经是50年代末了,感觉警察能有这种反应还是挺罕见的。所以这事儿确实挺酷的。

I mean racists dont usually hate all of a certain race. They hate what they percieve that race to be. And if they percieve them as willfully ignorant hed have to be a stupider than average racist to be mad at him for being in a library. Thats where the "one of the good ones" mentality comes from. "oh hes acting the way I want him to, then i dont need to hammer him down"
Yea i can see that possibility. I guess ive just seen more of they are all intrinsically awful when it comes to race. Like, by birth they are that way. Which at the time of segregation would lead to an idea of, dont give him the books because he's just looking to steal them, rather than borrow.
I think there is intrinsic groupthink in every human from nature, and some people probably have a stronger (or weaker) groupthink impulse naturally. But I would strongly argue for racism to be a learned behavior, especially the kind of violent, overtly hostile racism you’re referring to. So even in strongly racist cultures, there was almost always a spectrum of belief and hatred. Totally not defending the casual racism of the past, just describing how someone in the ‘50s might still be racist but not actively trying to fuck over every minority he/she sees.
Poor white folks just can't be expected to go on *learnin'* an' *readin'* with a *negro* in the damn room.

Just a reminder that James Watson, credited with the discovery of the DNA, discussed that black people are genetically inferior and more stupid. He still doesn't see consider himself as a racist person to this day.
给大伙提个醒,那个被尊为 DNA 发现者之一的詹姆斯·沃森(James Watson)曾经大放厥词,说黑人在基因上就低人一等,更愚蠢。直到今天,他居然还觉得自己一点儿都不种族歧视。

One of the 3 people credited with the discovery we should note. Crick & Wilkin's existed too.
Just did some reading about Franklin as I'd not know as much about her. Crick and Watson's research was based off the photographs and previous studies conducted by Franklin & Wilkins, but they were the ones to actually take the step to finally building the helical model of DNA. That is, they took it from observation to a final theory. I'm no expert biologist though so someone else may be able to talk more indepth on this.
I’m glad the cops were on his side. I couldn’t imagine a time where people and cops who protect people were all out against you. It’s so sad people can be that hateful to a person of another race and or color. Would these people, if dying and needed a heart transplant. Had a heart of an African American ready and on standby. Would they turn it down? If they knew that heart would save them. Would they? I know I turned a hard corner here, but what a shit world we live in.

Well here’s the thing, 5000 -10000 slaves escaped to mexico (mainly from texas), while potentially 10x that escaped to Canada. My guess is this is because once slaves reached the north they were considerably more safe, and for many of them, they were closer to the north than to Mexico.
They probably wanted to get as far the fuck away from the US as possible.

There's a lot of shit out there to learn. But even then there is A LOT of history. Hell, I think kids should be taught to do basic repairs on anything they use once a day or more. Probably would overload the buggers.
it’s sad we will never really get to see how our brains can handle knowing so much history before we even set out to be a part of the world. our bodies just die too quick. be so cool to take what our brains are and stick it in another vessel so we can keep on witnessing
I always figured I'd go mad after 200 years or, in the best case scenario just start overwriting old info like quasi alzheimers. Look on the bright side, mortality is a hard limit on a group getting too powerful and putting everyone through hell for eternity. Dictators' kids always fuck up the family business.
I remember this painting of two military commanders walking down a row of soldiers: one is American, the other is a redcoat and clearly british. The one army is holding American flags, the other army is holding a white flag. The implication, if you lack a thorough caption description, is the british are surrendering. This is also what the caption stated was going on. However, what it conveniently leaves out is that the army with the white flag was not surrendering, but rather this was the French military which had aided the USA in it's fight for independence by quite a bit. The French military just happened to utilize a pure white flag at the time, which is probably where all the jokes about the french surrendering come from. So while it is indeed a British commander discussing terms of surrender in the middle, he's discussing it with US *and* French generals, and I always felt like the history book conveniently just didn't mention the french around that portion of the book with the picture, knowing full well students would assume the french army was the british army surrendering.
Growing up in the South caused me to ask "Why was this part left out of my education?!" way too many times. I hope it has gotten better since I went through, but who knows.
Don’t think so. I had a discussion with a girl online, educating her on why an African American doctor looked like a “white man”. Told her, granted, he was a black man and my school was named after him. She responded with, “So what? I go to John F Kennedy, that don’t mean I know who he is” 😐😐😐😐
You know the Underground Railroad was not actually underground, right?

>when people say that racism isn’t a big deal and tell others to get over slavery, or segregation because those things have ended, Those are racists that say that.
Do you know how lynchings took place in little sundown towns? They'd basically call a holiday, bring out the kids and enjoy a wholesome good time stringing a man from a tree for looking at a white woman. Police departments, before cropping up at the height of the industrial revolution to bludgeon the insubordinate working class into submission, started out as slave patrols. US history, especially on race, is not made of exceptional bad actors doing bad things. It's a lumbering monster made of *normal* people doing *normal* things, and when someone exceptional stands against that normalcy on moral grounds, those normal people beat them to death and then go to church.
You sleep easy when you believe you are doing the right thing and there are no negative consequences for your actions. In their eyes they did nothing wrong which is the most terrifying thing.
Someone called the cops on me when I was nine! To be fair, I was dumpster diving. Found some cool shit, though. "Do not play on or around" hmmm, must be where the party's at
I also had the cops called on me around that age. There was like a housing development and I walked through it on my way home from school playing with a cool stick I found. A police officer actually came around the corner of a house with her weapon drawn and shouted at me to put it down before putting me in her cruiser and driving me home. It’s a weird sight to see your parents scream at a police officer.
White girl here. My house from 6-10 was one of the first built in its neighborhood. There were a few other kids who lived in the sold houses. We exclusively played on construction sites. We played house in actual houses. Our favorite was roofless houses in winter cause a film of ice would form on the floor and we could “skate”. The “pits” on houses with basements were the best. We could climb in and out and they were slightly dangerous but not scary in the way some second or third stories were. None of us wanted to climb into attics. Those were scary and wrong in a way we couldn’t express then or now. Our ragtag group of local children were fine exploring unfinished houses. But there was a line we didn’t cross. Once there were doors with handles or electricity we’d disappear. We weren’t looking for that heat. But our parents? We’d go out for walks and they only wanted to nose around houses with door handles or carpet. It was ok cause the adults said so. But it still felt *wrong*.
I’m a pasty white ginger kid. It was a really low income area though I think maybe someone saw me swinging it around like a weapon (because what nine year old didn’t want to be Link) or didn’t even know how old I was when they said something. Maybe this officer just got told “trespassing on private property swinging around a stick” and was already halfway through her spiel as she turned the corner not expecting a child who began crying instantly.
I got beaten by 6 cops, cuffed tight enough it sliced into my wrists (still have scars on them) and paraded through school beaten and bloody with one of my damn eyes swollen shut when I was 10 when I got excused to go home early to take care of my mother who had the flu and was too sick to get out of bed. I got excused at about 11am and I lived about 15 minutes from the school so it wasn't a big walk. I went home and I think an hour or two later I went to the local Walgreens to buy some cold pills to help her. Well I'm in there looking at what brand to get for her when 6 cops sneak up behind me, with no warning and one hits me in the back of the head and I go down. They continue to beat on me while handcuffing while yelling, "STOP RESISTING" when I was literally curled up in a ball on the floor. At the end of all of this they principal was yelling at them that I was excused and all they had to do was call to find all of this out. They said, "We will let him off easy this time." and the principal was yelling asking for his name and badge number and they didn't answer and left. Keep in mind I'm white and I can imagine if my hue would have been darker I would have got a "swimming lesson" on the other side of the levee.
Wow . . . they could have killed you, hitting you on the back of the head like that. WTF. New Orleans?
哇……他们那种打后脑勺的方式简直可能要了你的命。什么鬼啊。是在新奥尔良吗?

Its amazing what was considered normal in the past in many different countries. Just consider slavery. You could OWN a human. Like you can own a dog or cat. We had to figure out that slavery is not ethical and that people of other cultures and race should be treated with decency. Shows that we humans are trying to figure out everything from scratch. There's no manual book to run society lol. (No matter how much religions try to convince us their one is true) Edit: missing word 'a'
Many people have known that slavery was morally wrong for nearly as long as slavery has existed. Americans tend to normalize our own transition even though, as in modern times, we were one of the last developed countries to get with the program. Most of Europe had banned slavery nearly a half century before we did. Five (I think?) of the 13 colonies banned slavery of their own volition prior to joining the US. Ethical arguments against slavery date back to *at least* ancient Greece from my own (limited) knowledge. So no, American slavery was never "humans trying to figure society out." It was a run by a bunch of willfully cruel men who valued their own wealth over the freedom and happiness of others. America wouldn't have become a superpower without the slave trade fueling our tobacco exports.
I mean, black kids still get the cops called on them (and then killed) for playing in the park.
我是说,黑人小孩在公园里玩,还是会招来警察(然后被干掉)。

It's shameful actually. Only after being a hero and a black man did he get recognized. One day people of all colors and creeds will be treated as equals regardless of their accomplishments.
People need to be educated as to WHY so many blacks are behind bars, or in gangs, or why so many black women bear children when unmarried. When you live long enough to figure that out, things make sense and you learn that black people aren't somehow predisposed to gang life or whatever...it's the culture imposed on them by a bunch of shitty white racists. Black people and white people both need to understand all of this to break the cycle. But as we all know breaking the cycle is almost impossible. I'm a white dude, and I can start with educating my kid and argue with the boomers in my life (in my experience Gen-X, Millennials, and Zoomers are far less racist) but it seems so futile. Edit: this dude got a PhD from MIT and was likely the top 1% of the top 1% of academics in this country...it's a miracle that he didn't let oppression stop him from doing what he loved.
I did the course work and initial research for my doctorate in the Ronald E. Mcnair building. Walked by his picture most days.
