Okay so this next part of the description always used to say: "Trying to document grad school one CZcams video at a time, from lab equipment to genetics lessons to interviews with other scientists! Each video is a new view into life as a grad student, and the rollercoaster that is getting a PhD." But now I have my PhD. I'm not a grad student anymore! On to new adventures...

Go forth and do life...
The now Dr. Dainis, has help me realize that I really need to go back to college. I miss research and seeing someone who thinks the same way about science is really motivating.
You probably don't remember, but I was following you early in your channel, and when you got accepted to grad school at Stanford, I wrote a comment to you about my Bio PhD experience there and wishing you well. Over the years it seems that your videos just weren't coming up in my feed, and so I'm just now seeing this as they've started showing back up. A very belated congrats on your successful defense!
I went back to Hopkins Marine Station, where my lab was, when my mentor retired, 20 years after I finished my doctorate. I was there at a time when everyone in my old lab was away at a conference, so I was able to go in and look around in the place all alone. It was amazing how little it had really changed, but also very noticeable in the ways that it had, and very weird to look into my bay and bench and know that not only wasn't it mine anymore, but that it was someone else's whom I'd never met. It will always feel like an old home, and I hope you get many opportunities to return to yours.
Dear person I don't know,
Congratulations and good luck.
Congratulations Dr. Dainis! I hope this is not the end of your YT-career though. I want to know what is out there for people who finished their PhD! So I have something to look forward to!
Definitely not the end! In fact, I'm about to start dedicating way more time to making videos, so they should be back to a somewhat regular schedule soon!
A nice video. Sone great looks. Nice film.
Hello to Everyone great to see again. Wishing well. Have an excellent day.
Go good Department s. And go Smart things.
Mr. D. Branch
Congrats! I'm glad I got to come along on your journey through these videos! May the future be splendid!
Congratulations, Dr. Dainis! Keep being awesome!
The Bay Area is sad to lose you, but we’re simultaneously stoked for your next adventure!
Me too! And considering I already have trips planned bay to the Bay Area for November and December, I don't think it's really losing me any time soon :)
That’s what I like to hear
you've come such a long way, can't help but be happy for you.
congrats and keep going, you're awesome
Congratulations! We love you! God bless you.
Congrats! I've been subscribed since before you went to grad school, and it's fun to watch your progress through it. Good luck with your future endevours!
Congrats! You deserve it! Well done
Dr. Alex!!! CONGRATS!!!!
Congratulations Alex! It's been beautiful to see what you've been up to, and I look forward to everything you'll do in the future. Thank you for sharing the bits with us. This one was very touching!
Congratulations! Finishing that pHD is NO small feat! And, it's been so cool watching you grow over these many years. I love that you're such good role model for other young women that may want to get into science, but are hesitating for whatever reason. I think you have helped so many people move in that direction. Thank you!
OMG, CONGRATS ALEX!!!
Happy for your accomplishment. A long road which has been great to join you for a part of it. Think I've been watching for 4 or 5 year, hope we hear from you again, but understand you've a life ahead. Thanks for the sneak peek.
Wow, this made my day! Congratulations won’t convey how much, I’m so happy for you Alex- no, Dr. Dainis. Thank you so much for sharing this leg of the voyage with us, I can’t wait to see where you go next. I still believe you can do anything!
That's amazing! Congratulations Dr. Alex!
I hope you can transition into your other adventure awesomely.
Congratulations on getting your PhD! Thank you for all the great videos showing your time as a graduate student. I've really enjoyed watching them and I hope you'll continue to share your enthusiasm for science! :)
Congratulations I'm excited to see whats next
Congratulations to you!
Good luck Alex, you're an inspiration.
Congratulations!!
My goodness, CONGRATULATIONS, Dr. Dainis. Can't wait for the more detailed video to find out what's next for you. I hope it includes a return to Boston, at least for a visit.
Yes! Hi, I heard you mentioned Bite Sci-zed, and I have been there since those days.
It's so awesome to see you come such a long way, both CZcams wise and Academically. I literally gasped at the Ring Light!
Hope you continue making these great videos and doing science.
P.S. I have "I am here to learn, the hard way" post-it notes in my hostel room
Favorite science channel. I’m excited for you and what’s next.
Congratulations !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations It's been a pleasure to watch you go forth and do your hearts desire and passion. I hope you will continue to inform us. It's always been a learning experience and pleasure to watch. I remember the Brain Freeze trigeminal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, as you would know it to be. That was cool (pun intended) piece I will never forget. :)
Congrats! I remember I started watching your videos like 5 or 6 years ago, Bite-sized was still your channel. Back then I was finishing my Middle High School and now I'm one step away of getting my Bachelor's Degree on Biology. Certainly you were one of the people that I admire and who pushed me to continue in the wonderful world of science. At the begining of this year I took a course on Culture of animal's cells and tissues and I understood your fascination with them. I'm not sure if after getting my degree I will continue on the culture's branch, but at least I learned a lot and I know I can use that tool in a future.
Thanks for everything until now, congratulations and be successful in whatever you chose as your next step!
Congratulations! I remember starting to watch back with your appearance on Numberphile about synesthesia! Now that I'm starting on my bachelor's I see there's a long road ahead of me. Honestly, your videos have helped me a lot in deciding what I wanted to go into. In the end, I'm not in the sciences (the tedium isn't for me), but I still love it. Hip hip hooray Dr. Dainis!!
Congrats!
You finished it when I started mine. Congratulations!
Congrats Alex !
I just found your channel. Congrats and I want to welcome you to the comradery of science scholars..... Dr. Dainis!
Congratulations! You have done an amazing thing. You also are an inspiration for young women who want to "go forth and do science". So keep doing it
Congratulations, I look forward to your next step in your life path...I know it will be interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge...best, Kent, Texasroper
Congrats Alex! Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
So happy for you! This is amazing :)
I'm just about to finish my first year of a 3-year Master of Ecology, part-time.
Congratulations on the PHD. I am looking forward for graduate school graduation myself. Hopefully done my May. It was nice to see a post on patreon with a new video 😊. Best of luck in the future plans!
Congrats... Doc!!!
After watching this, I rewatched the "Bite Sci-zed,Year One", "New Bite Sci-zed" and "I'm starting a Science Vlog!" videos.
Congratulations on your journey so far, Dr. Dainis. I wish you an exciting new chapter.
Congratulations ! Kinda late, but Congratulations ! Live long and prosper!
I'm glad to hear it went well - congratulations, Doctor! I'm very interested to see the "thoughts on the PhD experience" video you mentioned - hoping to get into one myself in 2 years time or so :P
Congrats Alex! I'm a long time fan been watching your videos for several years now, way back to some of your earlier Bite Sci-zed. I'm currently in my 4th year of my PhD program, and your videos have mirrored a lot of my life experiences and they have always been a pleasure to watch. You talking about the various struggles of grad school have helped me through some of my hard times and for that I thank you. I look forward to see what awesome stuff you do next!
Thanks! And good luck on your own PhD journey. I wish I had done *more* talking about the struggles (and the successes!) because I often feel like grad school can make us feel like we're the only ones going through specific hardships when they're often common to all of us! But I'm glad my videos have helped you along the way :)
Congrats Doc!
Congratulations!
Congrats, Alex!! Curious about your next steps in your career! :) Good luck and, of course, go forth and do Science :D
Been here since bite sized. Congrats!
Congrats Alex! Best of luck in the future!
Thanks!
Congratulations on finishing. I hope you will fill us in on the next phase of your journey.
I absolutely will :)
Congrats on your PhD! I look forward to seeing where life takes you from now on!
Congratulations!!
I'm not at all surprised, but very excited and happy for you!
Thanks!!
Congrats, you must be feeling great.
Massive congrats on graduation, your videos have been soo helpful getting me through grad school and I hope you keep making vids :)!
I will definitely keep making them! And good luck on your grad school journey :)
OMG
Congratulations!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you!
Dr. Alex!!
PS.: I'm sorry I watch this so late! :c
Congrats Alex! No go forth and do all of the science! (as supercool Dr Danis ofc)
I feel so happy for you I’m gonna cry because I still haven’t even started studying my bachelors yet 😭😭
Congrats, Doctor!
He wasn't allowed to hold food OR drink?! No wonder that refrigerator was angry all the time!
On a more serious note: congrats on graduating!!! I loved your old bite-sized videos, I loved watching you progress in this lab even though we got to see less of you, and I can't wait to see what the science life has in store for you! I'm going back to school to try my luck at this stuff as well so it's really inspiring!
hey hey congrats! :D
Here's a toast to old places, cheers to that.
This is super sad, but you're moving on to better things!
Congratulations Alex! I've been with you since your Bite-Scized days and you've inspired me to become a science teacher, going forth and teaching the science!
That is so wonderful to hear! We need great science teachers!!
Amazing Alex, congratulations!!! I had your mottos "I'm here to learn; I'm here to learn the hard way" written on my board during my master too, it helped going through! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I hope these phrases helped you as much as they helped me!
Congratulations.
Congratulations and thank you! You’ve taken my daughters from ages 7 to 10 as they watched and learned about science and lab work from a real grad student... ...your content was priceless and inspirational for encouraging my girls about science. Best of luck to you!
This is so so sweet to hear! I am so glad that it has helped them to become more excited about science!
Congratulations Alex :) I can't say I've been around forever, but it's been fun and informative while I have been here. As some others have said, go forth and do life :)
:)
Sad but I really liked the whole adventure Dr. Dainis. I will be starting my adventure soon hopefully after finishing MSc. I have been here for like 3-4 years I think. Whenever I was down for some reason, your videos and PhD movie made me get back on track thank you very much.
Thank you!! And good luck on your own science journey!
Congratulations! Keep making videos, keep making science, the lab is you! The world needs more science exposure, and you're doing a great job of that.
I want "The Lab is You" on a t-shirt! That's a great motto!
Go great desk and items and supplies.
Go Bic company and pens.
Go good the ngs and smart groups.
Mr. D. Branch
Congratulations 🎊 Dr. Alex dainis. Welcome to the 🌍 world of independent scientific investigations now. So happy to see yet another video 📹 after a long time. Please continue to make more post PhD life videos.
Thank you! Hopefully the time between videos will be shorter from here on out ;)
Good job
Miss your "bite-scized" videos very much. Wish you could do it in your spare time in the future, unless it stresses you out. Love you ❤
Congratulations :)
Congratulations! I've been following you since the lip-sync video and I have always loved your videos. I think I'm a couple years older and I'm just now going back to finish my AA.
Yay! Good luck on continuing your AA!
Congratulations, Dr. I too have just finished the PhD and am slightly dazed by the amount of free time I seem to have right now.
Not that there isn't a ton to do, but let's not think about that.
Gooood job!! :D
Congratulations! I managed to finish my PhD last year, but stayed on as a post-doc in the same lab. Now I'm the one who gets to watch people come and go all the time! And speaking of refrigerators, we had to de-ice our lab ones today and through out samples from students as far back as 2010!
Looking forward to hearing about what you have planned for the future =)
Hahaha, we found reagents in that fridge that went back to the early 2000s when it died! It was definitely time for it to retire
Alex! I've been watching your videos since I was in secondary school, u were an inspiration to me to study with passion and share knowledge, now I am a 4th year med student and still visit your channel every now and then to be reminded of your awesome mindset and be refreshed for new challenges. You have always been the best at sharing enthusiasm about science imo, I hope to see your channel grow up as the best in it's field right when you start uploading regularly.
And congratulations for graduation, the world needs scientists like you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this! It is humbling to have been even a small part of your path to med school! Good luck on that 4th year ;)
@@AlexDainisPhD your reply has just made my day xD
Thank you !
Just saw all of your What is this Thing videos and I can't believe this is the last one! :( As someone who is just starting out in a wet lab, your videos were EXTREMELY motivational and helpful. Really looking forward to the next 3-4 years of my PhD thanks to you. I know it's been a while, but still Congratulations! This is a huge deal.
Oh gosh, I'm so glad they have been helpful to you! Best of luck on your PhD journey. It's long, and can be hard at times, but it can also be so much fun and so rewarding!!
@@AlexDainisPhD Thank you so much!! My research is in lab-grown meat and your good friend Sally Le Page just did an excellent video on that topic explaining everything super clearly. Check it out when you can :)
I also know you from bite sci-zed (although I may have forgotten how to spell it correctly), and now it's time to say congratulations on your Ph.D.! I guess, it's Dr. Dainis now, right? You really achieved something great there, and I think you will continue to do so, wherever your carreer makes you end up. Hey, what about coming to Europe? We got some nice scientific research institutes in Germany... ;)
all the best great scientist discover the world its awesome you are one of my greatest greatest fan and feels too sad that i cannot no more see you as genetic grad student for what is this thing ?
I'm exciting !!! And you're so pretty. thank's about vlog. I'm brazilian and I'm student of pharm um UFRJ... It's my second video that I watch, and I loved your channel !!!
I'm sorry, but my english not good hahaha thank's and bye! !!
Congratulations!! Make it to florida get at me =)
Go great books and writers.
Confrabjulations on your Phud!
CONGRADUATIONS! :D
Yay, you didn't deaded in the lab. Seriously though, lack of updates must have meant insane workload. Congrats.
Congrat
Congratulations! That is so awesome! Now go forth and find a new home and new people to call family :) They are out there waiting for you.
I hope so :)
Congratulations! 🎉🍾 the real question is: When is the next Aaron Carter lipsych video? :)
Congratulations Dr Dainis! I've been watching your videos since discovering that there are other people like me that have Synaesthesia (thank you Numberphile). I hope you continue to make videos! But as always, go forth and do science
I am absolutely going to keep making videos! Stay tuned ;) And thanks!
@@AlexDainisPhD wow, I just realized it's been a whopping FIVE YEARS! But I gotta let you in on something. You motivated me to start on my path towards getting my MD and becoming a Neurosurgeon. I'm still working on it, but things are looking up for me
That's amazing!! Best of luck in getting that MD!
Ayyyyyy good work on that PhD
you're going to miss them... few days then life goes on into the "series of down-ending".
Go forth and do science! 🤟
Congratulations! You could always try to just see if your PI or one of the other lab PIs needs a lab manager...
Must be hard to leave :)
I'm so sad you leave the lab i like watching lab Videos huh😢🔬
Congratulations again! Whats coming up next? Videos explaining your research? Videos explaining other parts of genetics and biology? How to survive gradschool? Back to biteScized?
All of this! And more! But mostly lots of cool science and genetics videos :)
