Great Research Advice
Matt Might’s blog. A lot of good advice on topics from entering graduate school to getting tenure. He also has one of the clearest explanations for the question: what is a Ph.D. about?
Hamming’s advice on what problem to choose for your research.
Books
Phantoms in the brain. A great book describing the unanswered questions and the excitement of doing research in neuroscience. I decided to change careers and do a Ph.D. in neuroscience after reading this book.
