“They need to be taught to recognize how errors can occur. Trainees should evaluate case studies derived from flawed real research, or use interdisciplinary detective games to find logical fallacies in the literature“

Often, i find students become demotivated when the outcomes from their experiments turn out not according to their expectations. This is the “brain games” that always happen.

Remember! the actual outcome of your PhD is not your dissertation. The outcome is YOU.

Direction is much more important than speed. Pick up the right direction first and then speed.
