昨天老闆跟實驗室的人分享一篇在 Nature (自然) 期刊上的文章，內容大致是說明如何成為一個好的博士班學生，看了之後覺得其實要全做到的話，等於是「嫁給」研究了。在這裡也跟大家分享一下，其中的重點節錄。(天啊，這就是我目前正朝向的生活方式啊......)
中文是我自己翻的，參考就好，別太計較意思啊 
What makes a good PhD student?
by Georgia Chenevix-Trench
by Georgia Chenevix-Trench
Choose a supervisor whose work you admire and who is well supported by grants and departmental infrastructure.
Take responsibility for your project.
選擇一個你喜歡的研究領域的教授，而且他有足夠的資金與設備可以支持你的研究。對你自己的研究計畫要負責。
Work hard — long days all week and part of most weekends. If research is your passion this should be easy, and if it isn't, you are probably in the wrong field. Note who goes home with a full briefcase to work on at the end of the day. This is a cause of success, not a consequence.
努力工作～週間每天以及大部分的週末長時間工作，如果你對研究很有熱誠的話，那應該是容易做到的。如果並非如此，你可能在一個錯誤的領域。在一天結束回家時，也是帶著許多事情回去做。這是成功的條件，不是成功之後才如此做的。
Take some weekends off, and decent holidays, so you don't burn out.
在某些週末休息，或是有合理的假期。這樣你才不會耗盡精力。
Read the literature in your immediate area, both current and past, and around it. You can't possibly make an original contribution to the literature unless you know what is already there.
閱讀你目前研究領域過去與現在的文獻，若你不知道已經有些什麼結果，你不可能會有一些原創的貢獻。
Plan your days and weeks carefully to dovetail experiments so that you have a minimum amount of downtime.
Keep a good lab book and write it up every day.
對你的每週與每日小心的做好計畫，來進行實驗，這樣你會有最少的閒置時間。每天寫好實驗記錄。
Be creative. Think about what you are doing and why, and look for better ways to go. Don't see your PhD as just a road map laid out by your supervisor.
要有創造力。思考你在做什麼，以及為何要這樣做，並且找到更好的方式去做到。不要看待你的 PhD 修業像是由你的指導教授給你的一張地圖。
Develop good writing skills: they will make your scientific career immeasurably easier.
鍛鍊好的寫作技巧。
To be successful you must be at least four of the following: smart, motivated, creative, hard-working, skilful and lucky. You can't depend on luck, so you had better focus on the others!
為了要成功你至少要有以下的期中四項： 聰明、積極、創造力、努力、技術以及運氣，你不能只靠運氣，因此要把焦點放在別的項目上。
