What big changes do I hope to make after my PhD? What did you change?

I want to be braver about asking for help and having conversations with fellow academics. I was often too stressed to reach out for advice and support from the scholars I deeply respected. Too shy and too hard on myself.

Which biotech fields might China excel in by 2050? Seeds.

In Nature Comment, Chinese neurobiologist Rao Yi recently remarked: "If allowed to speculate, I would predict that Chinese biotech will take off in agriculture, with new kinds of seed".

Have you been surprised by many innovation studies in economic geography that focus on industry technology and urban areas, but only a few on agricultural technology and rural areas? I understand that economic growth is largely driven by industrialization, but I also see many real people are farmers

Do you have any good references for combining social network analysis and interviews? Or do you think who is the expert in this approach? I would love to get your any suggestions

How can I ensure that their results truly come from real fieldwork? I love qualitative studies, but how can I be certain that the authors' findings are objectively drawn from field research, such as interviews?

Is it a good idea to apply social network analysis to study new regional industrial paths? I found there are many studies emphasize networks and knowledge are important for new path development, but limited quantitative studies on this topic

How can I access more opportunities to discuss with experts? Academic conferences and schools are so expensive, but meaningful discussions are very important for PhD students.
