💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Why don't you think that cell cultures dervied from nerual stem cells are appropriate models for neuronal signalling?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I practiced describing my research experiences to my parents who know nothing about biology.
What was the most difficult question?
The same. He was stem-cell guy, and I had foot in mouth disease. Though I still think I was right.
What impressed you positively?
3/4 labs I interviewed at were awsome, and all the labs I visited were on my origional list. I did not interview with the god Eric Kandel, but I did int with Ottavio Arancio, the son of god.
What impressed you negatively?
Interviews were slightly too short. They should give you at least 45 min interviews with 15 min walking time. 30 min interviews with 10 min walking time is stressful. We could have used some more time to interact with the students than just the dinner the night before. I also thought that they didn't adequately describe the program during the meet-up session. I was asking a lot of questions to my interviewers.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To bring a hair dryer.
