Writing Papers (and getting it done) with Ann(e)iochan

We have said it before, and we will say it again… Dementia Researcher loves vlogger Ann(e)iochan. For those who aren’t familiar, Anne makes videos documenting her PhD journey in Nanomedicine at the University of British Columbia. She started her YouTube Channel to document all the ups and downs in grad school and each week she posts fun, helpful and informative films on a wide variety of topics, from practical things like how to read and write papers and use certain pieces of equipment to fun things like what’s in her bag, and how well do her lab mates know each other.

Today we’re sharing a recent, very honest, film she made on her writing process! Full of progress, procrastination, feedback that you do and don’t want and her process. This film is great if you want some tips on how to get through, and to realise that you’re not the only one that doesn’t always enjoy the process.
