I’m just two days into my neurostatistics bootcamp and I already feel completely lost. There’s something about getting a PhD that just places you in situations where you just feel really unqualified, like you have absolutely no idea what’s going on all the time. I’m in one of those situations at the moment, and I think I just need to grind my way through it.
The class is structured in an interesting way. I don’t think that all the material represented here will be the same in the sense that some of the stuff I will encounter will be better than others. I’m not sure I will understand some of the material being presented. It’s really fascinating that my desire to switch fields may incorporate some of the statistical methods being used toward the design of the built environment. I don’t really know how that will end up turning out. Am I going to be able to innovate? Or will it just be me continuously grinding away and banging my head against the wall? I guess only the future will tell.
