Bonjour,

Est-ce que vous dejà utilisé la plateforme SeLoger ? Est-elle fiable ? Est-ce que vous recommandez une autre plateforme pour rechercher des studios à louer ? Merci !

Hey guys, I have just accepted an offer to a PhD in Europe (I am latin-american). I had the option to do a PhD here in my country with the same supervisor, in the same lab, in the same uni, close to my family and friends. But fuck it, sometimes we gotta step out of our comfort zone. It'll be harder, that's for damn sure, but I believe this is an opportunity to evolve as person and as a researcher too, working in a new language, with different people from a different culture.

Mix of scared and anxious to start soon. Idk, just wanted to share this little thought after this decision!

Hello everyone! I am starting a thèse in France on October!

For those who did the same, could you guys comment briefly on how your project evolved during the 3 years? In my native country, PhDs usually take 4-5 years, so 3 years is looking a bit short in my anxious mind haha! My field is Materials Science (mostly experimental!)

Hey guys, I've always used Origin for plotting graphs, but in the past few months I decided to try Python and I ended up liking it very much.

The thing is, I use AI to generate the code, and this is kinda troubling my mind. See, the use of AI here is just as an automated graph plotting tool, the only thing the code does is plotting the graph, it does not take any conclusion about it, it just plots. the. graph.

My field of research is Physical Metallurgy, so "building code" is not really something that we study and do research on. But even so, I am getting a bit uncomfortable using AI for it. What do you guys think?

Hello everyone,

I am starting a PhD in October and I've been trying to get up to speed on the topic in the meantime, so I started to read a thesis in a very similar topic to mine (my PhD will basically be a sequence to this work). How do you guys approach the reading of a PhD thesis/dissertation, do you guys do it any differently than a paper? I have a lot of experience reading papers and I feel my usual approach is not being too functional in this case.

Has anyone tried a non-linear approach? I'm getting kinda "stuck" in the literature review part of the thesis, as I'm feeling the author is just scratching the surface of the topics and I am realizing I may need to go back to read some fundamental books of these topics.

The field is Materials Science, if it matters.

Hey guys, is there anyway to justify the text in the Notes function of Zotero? Any plugins that do that?

Bonjour! (desolé pour les erreus en français, je suis en train d'aprendre la langue e je veux pas sonner comme le chatGPT)

Je suis brésilien e je vais aller à France pour faire mon doctorat en octobre, je sais que l'aid CAF va finir pour les étudiants non-EU, bien que, est-ce que je, comme un étudiant non-EU mais boursier de le CNRS, j'ai le droit de obtenir l'aid CAF?

Merci!

Hello everyone, so on many labs in France that are considered "sensible" and "restrict" (ZRR - Zone à régime restrictif), you need to be submitted to a security clearance before officially getting the offer for the PhD.

I know the average wait-time for the outcome is around 2 months. But I am trying to get more info of other people that passed through the same process.

How long did the process take? What was the outcome? Are you French, EU-national, or Non-EU?
