Some friends and I wrote an “ultimate” PhD application guide for Neuroscience/Psychology applicants 脑科学博士申请指南 (available in Chinese only). It includes PhD application tips about early-stage preparation, finding research positions abroad, networking, choosing programs, preparing materials, interviews, etc. In this guide, I also shared my personal experience of gradually transitioning from pharmaceutical engineering to neuroscience/psychology. If you’re in a similar position and would like some guidance, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to help!

Feel free to call me either Sherry or Dongqi (东琪). Dongqi (东琪) means “fine jade from the east.” I’ve gone by “Sherry” since I was 8, and this name originally comes from Ai Haibara.
