A REALISTIC day in the life of a PhD student in Chemistry | PhD vlog

Hello and welcome back to my channel!

To pay homage to the first ever video I posted on my wee channel, I'm back with an in depth 'Day in the Life' video showing a detailed run down of what a day in the lab for me typically looks like.

Let me know if you like these voice over style videos and I hope you enjoy!

I am recently planning for Master's in Chemistry. Accidentally finding your vlog really makes my day and hopefully to continue to pursue my PhD in chemistry as well. Break a leg sister.

I remember this type of videos when I started my 4 year chemistry program and having no clue what each thing was. I am 4 months away from graduation and cant help but feel giddy at how familiar everthing looks if that makes any sense, i guess i did learn soemthing regardeless of how helpless and lost i have felt for the last few years. Good luck with your PhD!

Amazing video! BSc chemistry student here and it's such inspiring🥰

[Jubair]

Great video and you're smashing it on YouTube. Glad to see that you're feeling a little bit better after being ill.

been thinking about looking into a chem major in college, but have been struggling to conceptualize the practicality of the work. this is awesome!

Undergraduate research assistant studying polymer chemistry and omg when you said things don’t go as planned, that’s so accurate. I can’t recall a day in the past year where I accomplished everything I planned to haha

I'm interested in doing Chemistry. Ive been getting good at chemistry recently and I'm inlove with the whole thing. It's something I really enjoy doing but I've never had an interest in anything sciency but nowdays chemistry just makes me happy and content. I love your vlog it gave me good insight on what chemistry is really like in college. If my chem mark is good enough I'll probably consider taking chemistry next year. I'm kind of scared to take chemistry because I heard its really stressful and hard but I wanna do it in way which is not stressful and have fun with it. Your vlog made me less stressed about it tho <3.

I left during my 3rd year of BSc Chemistry at the same University haha! I was there from 2015 - 2018.
Great video and very relaxing.

[jakiasultanasayma]

How many hours you work in lab normally? Please reply

[bdfsyoc]

Hey i loved your channel!!, I’m a chemist too💙

[misu]

I did bsc in chemistry. Now I am doing my msc in environmental science. But recently I am planning for may 2nd Master's in USA.so, please suggest me which subject or which branch of chemistry should I choose for my 2nd Master's..

[lqkim]

Im actually thinking about pursuing a master's in analytical chemistry. Since graduating with a bachelor's, I've been working as an HPLC chemist for almost 3 years to gain more experience which I think may help me with the master's.

[tamiratalemayehu]

I have Msc in organic chemistry. In future i wanna study PhD in organic chemistry. Please, give some advice for me.

[swamhtet]

Hey it’s a very interesting video about an insight on a day in a life of a PhD chemistry student.
I’m curious on one thing tho. Since your day starts at 7:30, when do you usually go to bed to feel full the next morning

I am a Abhishek, currently I am a school student who is having aspirations to do Ph.D. . I love studing chemistry as well as it's wonderful. Found your video. It's truly fascinating watching your video.
