Last week at SMPC 2022 I participated on a panel that tried to dole out as much advice as possible to graduate students in the field of music science / music cognition as what they might want to do after grad school.

After asking Twitter which categories they used to basically “group” together the many “things” in which they have to do, I was mostly met with people (in private) being like “I have no idea even what you are asking”.

This week I gave an invited talk as a part of the Australian Music and Psychology Society’s Amplify Your Research speaker series.

When you first dive into the field of music and science as a graduate student, you might be tempted to dive straight into your niche and start reading anything and everything related to your thesis topic.
