无论是在国外，还是国内求学，拿到博士学位都是一件具有挑战性的事。

有的学校可能对博士生“毕业”有着许多要求，除了要求博士生需要在一些顶级期刊发表论文外，还需要完成导师临时加的“额外工作”。博士求学之路虽然有难度，但如果可以提早准备及适应，那又会是不一样的情况。不夸张地说，准博士生的提前准备很大概率能够避开许多前人遇过的挫折与失败。

本文作者Lucy A. Taylor在早些时候取得了牛津大学动物学博士学位并顺利进入牛津大学博后实验室，她整理和总结了她最想在读博之初就能知道的20件事情并发在Nature上，希望可以为广大博士生和博士后提供一些建议。

在每件事情的原文底下小O同学都附上了中文翻译，希望能帮助大家阅读～

Nature：我希望在读博之初就知道的20件事

1. Maintain a healthy work–life balance by finding a routine that works for you. It’s better to develop a good balance and work steadily throughout your programme than to work intensively and burn out. Looking after yourself is key to success.

合理地安排时间，保持工作/生活之间的平衡。最好在整个计划中都可以保持良好的平衡并稳定地工作，不要一直地工作到精疲力尽。照顾好自己是成功的关键因素。

2. Discuss expectations with your supervisor. Everyone works differently. Make sure you know your needs and communicate them to your supervisor early on so you can work productively together.

和自己的导师讨论研究目标。每个人的工作方式都不相同，你需要了解自己的需求并尽早把自己的意思传达给导师，这样你们才可以高效地合作。

3. Invest time in literature reviews. These reviews both before and after data collection help you to develop your research aims and conclusions.

花时间撰写文献综述。在数据收集的前后做好这件事情，这样可以帮助你制定研究目标和为得出结论作出准备。

4. Decide on your goals early. Look at your departmental guidelines and then establish clear PhD aims or questions on the basis of your thesis requirements. Goals can change later but a clear plan will help you to maintain focus.

尽早确定你的目标。查看你所在学院的相关指南，然后根据你的论文要求建立起明确的博士目标。目标以后可以更改，但是明确的计划会帮助你一直保持专注。

5. “I don’t need to write that down I’ll remember it” is the biggest lie you can tell yourself! Write down everything you do — even if it doesn’t work. This includes meeting notes method details code annotations among other things.

千万不要告诉自己“我不需要写下来，我会记住的”这种鬼话。好记性不如烂笔头。会议记录，方法信息，代码注释等都是可以做记录并整理的。

6. Organize your work and workspace. In particular make sure to use meaningful labels so you know what and where things are. Organizing early will save you time later on.

把工作和工作空间整理好。这里需要注意，最好使用显着的标签纸，这样就很容易了解事情的内容和位置。整洁的空间可以提高工作效率。

7. It’s never too early to start writing your thesis. Write and show your work to your supervisor as you go — even if you don’t end up using your early work it’s good practice and a way to get ideas organized in your head.

现在开始撰写论文也不算晚。写下并向你的导师展示你的工作内容，即使你最后没有用最开始的论文想法。这种方式可以让你多锻炼，并整理你的想法和思考。

8. Break your thesis down into SMART (specific measurable attainable relevant and timely) goals. You will be more productive if your to-do list reads “draft first paragraph of the results” rather than “write chapter 1”. Many small actions lead to one complete thesis.

将你的论文分解为SMART(specific具体的，measurable可衡量的，attainable可实现的，relevant相关的，timely及时的)目标。如果你的待办事项列表是“结束第一段的草稿”而不是“撰写第一章”，那你的工作效率会提高许多。许多小行动是可以引出一篇完整论文的。

9. The best thesis is a finished thesis. No matter how much time you spend perfecting your first draft your work will come back covered in corrections and you will go through more drafts before you submit your final version. Send your drafts to your supervisor sooner rather than later.

最好的论文是写完的论文。无论你花多少时间完成你的初稿，你的工作都会在修改中得到回报，在你提交最终版本前，你会有很多的草稿。写完后，记得尽快将草稿发给你的导师。

10. Be honest with your supervisor. Let them know if you don’t understand something if you’ve messed up an experiment or if they forgot to give you feedback. The more honest you are the better your relationship will be. Helping your supervisor to help you is key.

和你的导师坦诚相待。如果你不理解某些事情，或你实验没做好，或者他们忘记给你反馈，直截了当地告诉导师，不用有什么担心。诚实可以让你和你的导师的关系更紧密。让你的导师帮助你学习是最重要的方法。

11. Back up your work! You can avoid many tears by doing this at least weekly.

至少每周备份一次你的工作。

12. Socialize with your lab group and other students. It’s a great way to discuss PhD experiences get advice and help improve your research and make friends.

与实验室的成员搞好关系。这样可以讨论博士生活体验，还能获得建议和帮助，改善研究内容和结交许多好友。

13. Attend departmental seminars and lab-group meetings even (or especially) when the topic is not your area of expertise. What you learn could change the direction of your research and career. Regular attendance will also be noticed.

参加部门研讨会和实验室小组会议时，如果发现主题不是你的专业领域也不要逃避。你在未知领域学到的东西也许可以改变你的研究课题和职业方向。定期出勤也会让你增加曝光率。

14. Present your research. This can be at lab-group meetings conferences and so on. Presenting can be scary but it gets easier as you practise and it’s a fantastic way to network and get feedback at the same time.

向别人展示你的研究。讲演可能很可怕，但会随着练习的次数变得愈发容易，这是获得反馈的好方法。

15. Aim to publish your research. It might not work out but drafting articles and submitting them to journals is a great way to learn new skills and enhance your CV.

一定要以发表你的研究结果为目标。就算最后无法达成，但撰写文章并提交给期刊是学习新技能和提高简历的好方法。

16. Have a life outside work. Although your lab group is like your work family it’s great for your mental health to be able to escape work. This could be through sport clubs hobbies holidays or spending time with friends.

在工作之余也有自己的个人生活。虽然你的实验室团队就像你的家庭一样，但是短暂地离开工作可以获得良好的心理状态。你可以健身，可以参加具乐部，也可以发展一项自己的爱好，度假或与朋友共度时光也是好选择。

17. Don’t compare yourself with others. Your PhD is an opportunity to conduct original research that reveals new information. As such all PhD programmes are different. You just need to do what works for you and your project.

不要与別人比较。博士学位的意义是带给你不断学习的机会。因此，所有博士课程都不同。你只需做好与你有关的博士客题就好。

18. The nature of research means that things will not always go according to plan. This does not mean you are a bad student. Keep calm take a break and then carry on. Experiments that fail can still be written up as part of a successful PhD.

研究的本质意味着事情并不总是按照计划进行。但这并不意味着你是一个坏学生。保持冷静，休息一下然后再继续。失败的实验仍然可以成为博士学位的基础。

19. Never struggle on your own. Talk to other students and have frank discussions with your supervisor. There’s no shame in asking for help. You are not alone.

永远不要纠结。与其他学生沟通或与你的导师讨论。寻求帮助不可耻，因为你不是一个人在战斗。

20. Enjoy your PhD! It can be tough and there will be days when you wish you had a ‘normal’ job but PhDs are full of wonderful experiences and give you the opportunity to work on something that fascinates you. Celebrate your successes and enjoy yourself.

享受你的博士求學生涯！这可能很艰难，而且你会有许多时候希望有一份“正常” 的工作。但是博士学位课程充满了美好的经历，让你有机会从事你喜欢的事情。所以庆祝你的成功，享受过程。
