Data analysis involves inspecting, cleaning, and modeling data to discover useful information, draw conclusions, and support decision-making. It's essential because it allows researchers to derive meaningful insights from their collected data.

For this month's episode, we discuss reading skills we acquired during our doctoral studies through journal clubs, literature review and advice from our superiors

For this month's episode, we discuss our popular PhD myths and beliefs we held about Phd studies vs the reality we experienced during the years.

For this month's episode, we discuss our personal PhD horrors along with our guests Eszter and Yash and those from our audience on Instagram.

In our Science series, we aim to explain our interesting PhD projects to a wider audience and on this second episode, we are excited to talk to Prof. Hannes Stockinger and Laura Gebetsberger from the Infectiology department.

In this episode, we discuss the latest YSA symposium, why we enjoy being part of this team and how you can be a member as well. A huge thanks to our sponsors and University for their support during the 18th Symposium!

How to apply for your PhD position? Here are some top tips from the head of our Institute and her PhD student on the do’s and don’t’s of your application letter and interview.

In this episode, we discuss some of the transferable skills we learnt during out time in the PhD be it in conferences, during mouse experiments or just in everyday life.

In our Science series, we aim to explain our interesting PhD projects to a wider audience and on this very first episode, we are excited to talk to our colleagues from the Medical Imaging department.

On today's episode, we discuss with our guests what its like to move abroad to acquire their PhD. Our guests have moved from China and Portugal to the medical university of Vienna and they share their unique experiences of their PhD life

On today's episode, we discuss with our guests who are editors in well known journals, their tips on publishing a paper. We also discuss the top mistakes young researchers often make and how one can deal with rejection of a paper.

In today's episode, we discuss the future of precision medicine with our students from the Artificial Intelligence department of the Medical University of Vienna.

Communicating borders can be extremely hard, especially, for younger people. Thus, episode 13 addresses the question how to properly manage private and work life. And what happens if you are not able to properly manage it.

After years of studying and doing research the moment is finally here: You are done with your PhD! But what happens next? As an extremely qualified and highly specialized employee, where do you want to continue working? This question bothers lots of students, thus we want to ask already finished students how they managed to enter the life after their defense.

O.C.T. stands for optical coherence tomography and is a widely used medical imaging method, which was more or less invented together with the Med Uni. This is also a reason why Med Uni has a strong research focus on O.C.T. and is a great place for physicists and mathematician to acquire their PhD here.

University prepares your for lots of things, but what to expect at scientific events is usually not covered in classes. Starting your PhD confornts you with journal clubs, conferences and poster presentations. In our new episode "What am I supposed to do?" we talk about those events and if our expectations met reality in the end.

If you could give the younger version of yourself one advise, what would it be? In our 9th episode we talk with an (a bit) more advanced PhD student and a Post Doc about how to deal with trouble shooting and to manage expectations.

A few days ago the YSA hosted its biggest event, the annual YSA PhD Symposium, in which PhD students of the Medical University of Vienna are able to present their scientific work. With around 150 presenters one can imagine that this is quite a huge event, which requires lots of organization and project management skills. In "Behind the Scenes" we provide you with a little sneak peek at how to manage organization and differences between online vs. presence symposia.

Some say, the pandemic is almost over. Although, this quote is still open for discussions, most of our lectures are again in presence. And as we are all academically young PhD students, quite a lot of us have never experienced presence lectures, journal clubs and propedeutics. In "Camera off - Pyjamas on" we review the past two years and try to sum up advantages and disadvantages of online classes.

YSA and YLSA - who are we and what are we actually doing? These are just a few of the questions we'd like to ask our guests Felix Locker (YLSA) and Melanie Gsöllpointer (YSA) in today's podcast episode.

After our mentoring episode Old but Gold - Basic Science Edition, we are now super eager to hear our clinical science fellows which problems they are facing. And most important, if they have found solutions to those problems! Also episode 5 is designed in a peer-to-peer mentoring spirit, so that younger PhD students are provided with tips and tricks to face their everyday problems.

Doing your PhD is not only about knowledge. Of course you will learn a lot about science and medicine and you will definitely be a real expert in your field. But a PhD has also a lot to do with personal growth and with regards to this finding answers might be more troublesome than a PubMed research. Thus, episode 4 is designed in a peer-to-peer mentoring spirit. Older PhD students helping younger ones.

One could think that all students within the Med Uni are more or less enrolled in the same PhD program, doing the more or less the same stuff and following more or less the same daily routine, right? Wrong! The Med Uni enables young medical doctors and researchers to have a closer look in clincs AND science. But how does this work? Listen to episode 3 and have a little sneak peak on the daily lives of science and clinical PhD students.

Starting a PhD is never easy. It takes quite a lot of time to get orientation and to learn how and where to set priorities. Usually, other "older" PhD students are a contact point for the younger ones. But, what if the older PhD students are not really here? In our second episode we chat about how we managed to start in distance, during the covid pandemic.

You are a PhD student? You are a fan of coffee before, meanwhile and after work? You are a fan of the Trapezfisch on Fridays, the most famous dish of the AKH canteen? Then let us introduce our new podcast series! We are the Young Scientist Association, a student organisation from students for students. In episode 1 "Anybody here?" we will entertain you with little stories on who we are, what we do and how we ended up here.
