“Should I exclude irrelevant experiences from my academic CV?”
This is a question that students often ask. In this episode, I would like to give you my thoughts about this question.
In general, there is a way of creating a comprehensive CV: it will show that you have unique experiences, and you are a careful and a thoughtful writer. The key would be for you to be proud of what you did in the past. I hope that this discussion will be useful for you.

My students selected a paper to read in a journal club. The abstract (and the rest of the paper) was not written well. The abstract gave us two precious lessons. Lesson 1: Good structural organization will help the readers understand the content. Lesson 2: Abstracts of peer-reviewed papers can be disorganized. I hope you learn them in this episode, too!

We will talk about the second of the two, well-crafted loops of logic, in the Abstract of a paper written by the Nobel Prize Laureates. Not all abstracts have this second loop. But when it is present, it gives a better overview of the impact of the presented work. We can find one of the best examples in our Abstract. We are reading the paper written by the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman, that led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023. We call it the Milestone Article 1. Here are two sets of links related to the paper. Milestone Article 1: “Suppression of RNA recognition by Toll-like receptors: the impact of nucleoside modification and the evolutionary origin of RNA” by Karikó, Buckstein, Ni & Weissman.

Let's analyze a single sentence in the Abstract of an impressive paper. It is the paper that led to the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This is the paper that we call the milestone article 1 (Please see below for details). We will analyze the second sentence. Why is this sentence important? We will discuss four of my approaches to see that this sentence is important, beautiful and helpful for readers outside the field. It is fun to spend one episode for just a single sentence, and think deep about how it reveals the authors' logic. Here are two sets of links related to the paper written by the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023.

Today, we will analyze the Abstract of an impressive paper. It is the paper that led to the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This is the paper that we call the milestone article 1. We will have two essential pre-analysis sub-steps, and then we will analyze each sentence. During this analysis, we will read each sentence of the Abstract, examine the role of each sentence, and assign each sentence to a structural component, so that we will be able to understand the authors’ intention for each sentence. Here are two sets of links mentioned in this episode. All are related to the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023.

“Should my CV be short or long, when I apply for a research assistant position in a college/university lab?” This is a question that students often ask. In this episode, I would like to give you my thoughts about this question. The content in a CV depends on the person’s career stage. But I have one common viewpoint for CVs at all stages. I would like to view the descriptions in the CV, during and after the undergraduate education, as the defining statements of the person. My thoughts about today’s question will be related to this viewpoint. At the same time, I agree that different professors and different students may have opinions different from mine. Let’s discuss them and share diverse perspectives, so that our thoughts will become deeper. (My email is active. But my website is under construction. Please wait for a while.

How do top-tier scientific journals, like Nature, make sure their abstracts are clear and impactful? In today’s episode, we will identify the eight key components that make those abstracts effective, by naming the components in our own words, and clarifying their roles and order. Our system was inspired by the Nature document for the Abstract guidelines that we discussed in the Episode #38.

This episode continues from the last one. This will mark the end of our story about the life-science experiment that did not work at first, but worked well after extensive troubleshooting. We will talk about the remaining three lessons we can learn from the story. They will be about thoughtful approaches, and about probably the most important mindset in life sciences (What will it be?). This is Part 18 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023." (My email is active: ideas@synaptologica.com. But my website is under construction.

In the last episode, we finished discussing details of the life-science experiments in our story. We observed that negative controls can be powerful tools for troubleshooting and ensuring data quality. The story gave us invaluable learning experience. What lessons can we learn? We will talk about three lessons related to negative controls today. They will help us design good research and evaluate results well. This is Part 17 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023." (My email is active: ideas@synaptologica.com. But my website is under construction.

We will discuss the fourth and final idea, for troubleshooting a real, life-science experiment in our story. This idea was based on the previous three ideas. Then the experimenters took an impressive step. They identified key unknowns about the experiment, and refined and updated their idea. The updated idea laid the foundation for designing the crucial, fourth and final troubleshooting experiment that we will discuss in the next episode. This is Part 15 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023." (My email is active: ideas@synaptologica.com. But my website is under construction.
