the ultimate bummer is finding a coffee shop with adequate seating, outlets, great customer service, the whole shabang....and then the coffee tastes like dishwater :| this has happened twice now in Ann Arbor, is it me?? am i the problem???

nonetheless, i've started working on brainstorming my research proposal for NSF and i'm excited to re-apply. if i don't get it this year, then its just not meant to be. and thats okay lol. i'm about to put that specific aims workshop to use but change the word to "objective" since specific aim is very NIH and not NSF

1.27.23 Hello again, long time no see! During finals, I had a few family emergencies so I took a little break… but at least I managed to finish my winter reading! If the idea of a time-traveling cafe in Tokyo appeals to you, then I highly recommend Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi! Right now, I’m just happy to be back at college, even if campus greeted us with a snowstorm for the first week of classes.

Hybrid Note Taking Style

A note taking method that blends the best of paper and digital note taking that I’ve been exploring lately. So far it’s working really well for me :) Hope it helps! 

Hybrid Note Taking Method

Problems with other note taking systems

Each note taking system has its pros and cons. Here are some of the problems I found with (fully) paper and (fully) digital note taking systems.

Paper

Can't use the search function on your notes.

Can't add images and other types of digital files easily.

Difficult to keep overview between notebooks.

Can't share these as easily as digital notes.

Digital

Not as 'romantic'.

Sometimes less engaging.

Lack of physical presence can lead to you forgetting about it.

Can be more difficult to do things like sketching, making schemes, making illustrations etc.

Benefits of Hybrid

I like using hybrid methods because they bring you the best of both worlds.

Easily searchable.

Information in your notes is traceable.

Makes it easier to find and carry out actions e.g. finding extra info.

Doesn't damage books.

Allows you to embed different types of files.

What you'll need

Source material (e.g. book, academic paper)

Any kind of notebook :)

Digital note-taking app → I like Notion (it's free).

Step 1 - Read & number the material

As you go, use a pencil to lightly put numbers into the margins whenever you deem something worthy of noting down or remembering. This will help you locate the source of specific parts of your notes later.

Step 2 - Write Q&A-style notes

Write the information down in question-and-answer style. Come up with useful questions that link to the material you want to remember (e.g. Q → What is the main problem with using platform-based planning for new ventures? A → Assumptions underlying the plan are used as fact rather than best-guess estimates to be tested and questioned). Use the numbers you placed in the margin of the pages to specify the source of the information you used for each answer.

Example → Chapter 1 page 27 note 3 becomes 1.p27.3

Step 3 - Write actions as you go (Supporting notes)

Supporting notes

Write down your thoughts, anything you're curious about, things you want to look up, things you're confused about, actions you've been inspired to do, etc. For example → ?m Maybe I can apply this to my visualization assignment? / ! Look up what 'plurality of the future' is / fex Organizational transformation through design. I find this a great way to support and manage the learning process.

Action key

Keep a small action key in which you have an overview of what your action marks mean (e.g. ?m→ questions to myself, f → find, fex → find example, ?? → I don't get it, ! → general actions)

Don't be afraid to customize your actions!

What you'll get

Actionable notes

Your paper notes will contain a structured and easy to read overview of actionable items that came up during the reading. This can be questions you need answered, reminders to find specific information, etc. This will make them a lot harder to forget to do!

Easily traceable sources

With the codes you'll be able to tell easily and quickly where the information you've written in your notes came from.

Searchable & review-ready notes

Notes will be (mostly) made in question-and-answer style. This will allow you to easily review using active recall. All you need to do is cover/hide the answer and you can check how well you truly know the material.

Thanks for reading!

now that i'm actually paying attention to tumblr again, i just noticed that a lot of the bipoc academia and studyblr blogs don't post that often anymore?? i mean we were already a small community but now it takes me forever to find new content to reblog :(

also are there any west asian, east asian, central asian, or SEA academia blogs?? whenever i try to find asian academia blogs i only come across desi academia

also looking for african and SWANA/MENA academics?? indigenous american academics?

the best parts about summer are the long hours in the day for you to read, sparkling soda, and fresh sweet fruit.

our weekly seminar discussions on social determinants of health always bring me so much joy!

this week is going to be busyyy because i’m going to start my survey project and i need to create a figure plot for someone in my lab & their publication. a week full of learning and growth :)

being in Michigan has been great. i’ve been trying new things, finding my community, and making the best of the summer. for example, started going to bar trivia and its so much fun. this week, i’ll be trying tennis because someone in my cohort wants to play and nobody else is down LOL

9.1.22 New notion page, new classes, new semester! I’m anticipating that Animal Nutrition and Organic Chemistry will occupy most of my time… but I’m also taking fascinating seminars on the Art History of the Photobook and Digital Technology in Agriculture. I wish everyone success in sticking to their study plans!

I’ve been trying/exploring a new style of note-taking lately and it’s so much more effective than my old style ✨
