What videos should I be making? - Exvlog #2

I talk about fluff and what's been happening to me and stuff. In particular do comment on what videos you would like for me to upload in the future - I think I'm going to do a TMI tag video too, so it's more the science ones I'm after :)

Also, make sure you have your privacy settings on google+ (yay...) so that I can reply to your comments if you expect a response!

I am Simon, a first year PhD candidate at the University of Exeter. I upload videos on bits of science which are relevant to what I do, and sometimes just because they're really cool.

Hi Simon, I loved this video - thank you! I would definitely be interested in a video about the atmosphere, and also one about creating/modelling a planet. I had no idea you could do that. It sounds really fun!

Videos I think would be cool:
>What's different about doing a PhD at Oxford compared to an Undergraduate course (how's it structured? How much freedom do you have in choosing those forced diversification modules - could you, for instance, learn something completely new like a language or is it limited to Physics-related modules? etc...)
>Atmosphere video - it would be great to hear about it from a Physics perspective (I've only ever heard about it from a Chemistry perspective)
>A video on that "creating a digital Earth" thing. I'm going to be doing a Physics degree with the hope of it helping my ability to create videogames that use core principals. It would be great to hear about how you are using Physics for something so similar.
Whatever you make though, thanks for keeping up with this somewhat.

Yes! Videos on physics and the atmosphere and everything that I can learn something from! I believe that's the same T-shirt that you wore in your interview questions video... Anyway... I've applied to read physics and I should hear back from Oxford next week regarding and interview or a rejection :O I had a mock interview at my school this week, which went extremely well and was really fun to be honest! I hope I've done well in the PAT! Keep the awesome videos going! :D

I think you should definitely do all of those videos if you have the time! They sound really interesting and it would be awesome to hear it from the perspective of someone who is researching it! c:

A video about the atmosphere would be incredible! Kind of bring to mind Charlie's Fun Science videos. Also you could do a TMI video at some point!

[XxDANIYAxX]

Your voice?! It sounds so deep all of a sudden haha

[lorenzomag]

Really interesting! I'm looking forward to getting to know what you’re studying!

[agnes]

I know most of your videos are about Physics and the courses you are taking. However I am currently doing the IB and trying to shapen my study tequnique! It would be amazing if you could do a "follow up" on your older video about how to study effectively where you talk about how you personally study. For example how you structure notes and how you store notes to use later on as revison for exams. Love your videos, they help more than you can imagine! Much love from Sweden.

I, for one, would be interested in learning a bit more about the atmosphere. Most of what I know comes from GCSE geography, most of which I forgotten! As I intend to do physics at uni, it would be useful to learn about different parts of physics.
BTW - I am also currently learning VBA so I know what agony you must be in!
Good luck!

[scugglebottom]

Would love to see videos on your current work and building a weather model! And string theory. I'm a 3rd year mechanical engineering undergrad

[sophiez]

Hi Simon! Thanks for sharing all the information and I really enjoy your videos! As you have mentioned that your studying area is relatively new, could you please share some experience on how you obtain the accesses of reference information and how you select the data you want efficiently?

[Falangaz]

Make a video about the stratosphere and your program please :)

[CaityLouise]

Sadly I know nothing about the atmosphere but I'd love watching if you explained it from the basics :)

[ulzhalgasrakhman]

I recognized that you can manage your time very well
How do you do that?

[abhijithis]

uhh Clark, are you deepening your voice more than normal? you re imitating the god man

[lalalalaaand]

Can you please make a video on how to do well at GCSE and A Level, plus some extra advice on GCSE english language and literature and A level physics and how to get As in them-it would be so amazing if you actually do read my comment and do a video on it, btw love your videos you are such an inspiration

[ulzhalgasrakhman]

Hi, Simon
Can you make a video about how do you make effectively successful research in your subject area?
I think that that it will be interesting for many beholders:)

[florencej]

I think if you do videos on what your doing at the moment but in a format that teaches the viewers, it might help you learn more? Also it could be practice for being a lecturer

[danascully]

I think you should make more educational videos because I'm taking Environmental Science, but I have to take physics for my degree and your physics videos would really help. :D

[NUMFANSimonJamoeOxf]

are you ever going to do a dual vlog with Jamie also i think you should did that qa which Rachel did great vid. 49ers fan here
