Paljud on minult reiside planeerimise kohta nõu küsinud ja ma mõtlesin, et lihtsam on siia sellest kirjutada.

Happy Midsummer! ☀️ Midsummer is one, if not Happy Midsummer! ☀️ Midsummer is one, if not the most celebrated and loved folk holidays in Estonia, and it lasts for 3-4 days. The nights are bright - 19 hours of sunlight a day, but it doesn’t get truly dark at all, and you can still see fairly well around 2am in the morning. 🌤 People stay up very late to dance around the bonfire, sing, drink, and eat. But one can also participate in more ancient traditions and superstitions like lovers wandering in forests in search of blooming ferns which bring everlasting love. 🤍 Kids look for glow worms which bring good luck (I actually found a lot of them when I was little so maybe I’m lucky ☺️). Women can collect nine different types of wildflowers and put it under their pillow to see their future spouse. 🌼 More adventurous folk jump over the bonfire or swing really high on the village’s wooden swings. 🔥 Holidays are often the hardest times for international students to be away from their family. I really wished to be home this summer but I have another conference to go to before I can head home.

If you’ve been following my stories then you kno If you’ve been following my stories then you know that I had to write 3 first-authored manuscripts in 10 days time. If you’re a researcher/scientist, then you know that writing scientific manuscripts can take months if not sometimes years to write. Here’s a quick Q&A to answer some of your questions: ❓Why were you in such a rush? — Well, I had promised to send one of the manuscripts to a stakeholder by mid-June, so that was the only one I knew I had to write. The problem was that I did not know that I also had to write two manuscripts to present at the upcoming conference this week. This conference requires that for podium presentations, we send manuscripts to our discussants ahead of time, so they can basically peer review us on the stage. 😳 I have two podium presentations which means two manuscripts to write. ❓Are these related to your dissertation research? — Not at all! The topics of these three manuscripts are totally different: one is one suicide line utilization during Covid-19, another is on medical training programs, and the third one is on emergency department use. None of them are my dissertation projects which about is predicting suicides. My PhD funding comes from being a data analyst/RA at the Boston VA Healthcare System, and I work in a contract research setting. This means, that I work on a lot of different projects that aren’t related to my own work. Stakeholders contract us to answer their healthcare questions. ❓How did you find the motivation? — I knew I only had two weeks the most to write all of this, so it was fear and anxiety that motivated me. 😂 My goal was to get something on the paper! First draft does not need to be perfect. ❓Did you also do the analysis in these two weeks? — No way! I started the analysis for all of these papers a year ago, if not more. So, it’s been a long work in progress. I just needed to write it all up. ❓Did you have any help? I’m lucky to work in large teams and we also have a policy analyst assigned to each project, so I received some help with two of the literature reviews. That’s my least favorite past of writing so I’m glad I did not have to do it all myself.

To be honest, doing a literature search is not my To be honest, doing a literature search is not my favorite part of the research process and I struggle to find the time to keep up with the newest literature. I’ve been using this app called R Discovery @researcher.life for a few weeks now and I really like it. Some of my favorite features. #collaboration 1. It’s FREE! This is the first one, duh - we don’t have a lot of money as grad students. 2. I have a personalized feed based on my interests. 3. I can bookmark papers to read later. 4. I can use it on my phone, tablet, and browser! I like to bookmark stuff when I’m commuting, so I can open it on my laptop later. 5. The AI also recommends related reads. 6. They have a large selection of open access papers but you get access to paywall stuff too when you log in with your institution. 7. It gives you smart summaries that saves time. 8. Every now and then, I get notifications about the most relevant newest papers out there. 9. You see both highlights and full text papers! 🔗 Find the link to the app in my bio! ❓Would you consider using this app or do you already use some literature reading app?
I did it! 😀 Even though I was sick and not feel I did it! 😀 Even though I was sick and not feeling great, I had a great first experience being on a conference panel and presenting my team’s work on observed vs. predicted all-cause excess mortality during Covid-19. 👩🏼‍🎓I was the only student on the panel. Chair was Dr. Feng Qian from SUNY Albany. Other folks on the panel included Dr. Steven Spivack from Yale, Dr. Kelly Smith from Michael Garron hospital in Toronto, Ms. Heidi Brown Sheehan from Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians and Dr. Aaron Schwartz from UPenn. The title of the session was “"Safety, Quality, and Value of Health Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic" 😅 The chair knew that it was my first time presenting, and he told the audience when introducing me, so the audience clapped when I walked up the podium, which was super sweet and supportive. The other folks on the panel also told me later that they think that I did a good job. I also managed to stay within my allotted time! 👎🏻 The only downside that I can think of was that this was the last session before the conference ended, so a lot of folks, including people from my lab, had already left, and the room was half empty. Very thankful for everyone who did stay and show up, though! ☺️ All in all, I would say that it was a success. #ARM22
Just presented my first-ever poster at an academic Just presented my first-ever poster at an academic conference. 😳 I started my PhD in the end of 2019, so I really didn’t have the chance to attend any conferences because of the global pancetta. 😅 Good things: 👍🏻 I had 4-5 really good conversations with some attendees. 👍🏻 I made friends with all of my “poster neighbors” and connected on social media. They were from Brown, Weill Cornell in New York, Harvard, and Erasmus University in Rotterdam. 👍🏻 Multiple people complimented my poster design. Not so great things: 👎🏻 It was an 8AM poster session, so there weren’t that many people, which made me a little sad. I thought it would be way busier! I worked hard on my poster, so I wanted more people to see it. #ARM22
Photo dump: week of May 30 - June 5, 2022. Highli Photo dump: week of May 30 - June 5, 2022. Highlights: ☀️I’m at my first in-person academic conference in Washington DC! ☀️I finished my website. ☀️I’ve been catching up with colleagues and my advisor, which has been lovely. Lowlights: 🌧 I learned that I need to write three manuscripts in the next two weeks! 🪦I knew that the deadline of one of the manuscripts was coming up but turns out I need to write two more because the next conference at the end of the month requires me to send the manuscripts to my discussants. So, when I get back to Boston I will literally have no life. 🌧I’ve been a little sick from switching between really hot weather outside and really cold AC indoors. I really hope I can get my voice back for when I need to present!
My personal/professional website is live! 👏🏼 My personal/professional website is live! 👏🏼 www.kertutenso.com Let me answer some of your questions: 1. Why do I need one? — Having a professional website is a great way to control your branding, showcase your work, and attract recruiters/employers. I made one now because I’m going to multiple conferences and it is easy to guide new contacts to my website. 2. What platform did I use? — I used SquareSpace because it was recommended and I liked their straightforward interface and minimalist templates. It seemed like the fastest way to get a website up and running. 3. How much did it cost? One year of hosting on SquareSpace cost me $160, so about $13/month. My domain name is another $20/year. 4. What did I include on my website? I have a brief about section, my research (dissertation, other projects, some past projects), CV, publications, and contact. ❓Do you have a professional website? Please share if you do! ☺️
