I just read your description twice again and applied with my skills and experiences. Confidently I am sure that my skillsets and experiences are ideal match for your project. Even my current availability is fine and I can fit my working timezone to yours if you want. I am a result oriented person, fully dedicated to my work.

I am also a person to be trusted, honest and reliable,as well as I don’t need to be trained and have a proven track record. Be warm and you’ll instantly stand I can and will deliver great results with a process that’s timely. Thank you so much for your consideration. Looking forward to talk with you… Skype ID:ss.ok12 Thanks


Actually a great idea, thanks! Any examples of top off your head?


The one I am personally familiar with is prescription drugs as the only real treatment modality for some conditions. They are overused and have serious, harmful side effects (as well as other downsides, like high costs). I have found alternatives that work, but trying to find a way to spread the word has been, call it, challenging. It is a problem space I am very familiar with and only just now figuring out how to proceed. So I don't know that it helps you any to mention it.

Best of luck.


Thanks for sharing. How are you currently trying to spread the word? Can you share an example?


I have a private invitation-only health blog. I also started a food blog back in June. I also carefully participate in discussions on a couple of public forums, hn being one of them. I currently have no monetization plan in place for that stuff. Trying to cone up with a business model for it has also been challenging.

If you want to discuss it more in depth than that, you can email me.


Good idea. This gave me another one: one could also look at app store ratings!



Thanks for sharing!

>With all of that said, is this something you are having trouble with?

Not right now, but I am looking into how to prevent such things happening in the first place


Nothing specific. Anything that has mechanical design, electronics or software development. I think research topics should be left to the academics themselves. I am interested in supporting infrastructure / software / hardware.


Most universities should have some kind of job openings website. I used to work at one and that's where everything was posted. But keep in mind that a lot of universities that aren't well funded will want to pay their own students to do the work, even if they're not as skilled.


Any experience on the side of cost? What is considered as cheap in academia?


Cheap is really cheap, like a poverty vote, but the work, the freedom and the goal is enough compensation to work at a research lab. I don't agree with this compromises that are required to enter the academy but if you want to get into this type of work there isn't much else to do.

As someone in the comments said, it depends on the grant that the institution that you want to join has or if the lab has some kind of assistant position to fill.


I've worked as a research assistant in several labs in NYC. About $30-35k/year was typical. A new post-doc would make about $40k/year.


That's awesome! What kind of work did you have to do? What did you enjoy what not?


Whoa, thanks!


Two things:

1) Discipline (e.g. dedicate 1 hour daily towards a single project until you finish it)

2) Leverage. Think about which thing / project will provide you with the most leverage in the long run. (e.g. doing ML course will allow you to achieve so much more with new gained skills than (likely) learning discrete mathematics.)

I personally chose to start a business which allows me to have significantly higher learning rate than otherwise would be possible, which compounds over time to significantly more leverage in long term. Do mind, now I am sacrificing my living standards compared to same-age peers (working in big companies), but life is a marathon, not a sprint :)


>The problem I have is something akin to paralysis of choice

Yup, had exactly the same problem myself. What I did was to introduce a ranking score for each project I might want to do and then just do the top one. I constantly add to the list and only remove projects if I do them / have learned they are not going to work / get new information which pushes them down/up in the ranking.

Series of questions I use to evaluate the project: What problem does this solve?; How does the MVP look like?; What is potential monetary upside?; What is potential personal-brand upside?; What are the potential risks?; What is the required time / monetary / etc budget?; Who is this project targeted at most?; Will there be new skills-of-interest learned?; Will this project lead to bigger projects?.

Each question has a 1-5 score slide which I later sum up with custom weights to a "final score" which I then use to rank the projects.
