随着COVID-19流行病席卷全球，许多高校科研工作都被迫中断了，研究生们被迫在家科研办公。如何高效地利用在家的时间，做一些有益于自身发展的事情呢？这里Science上给出未来科学家们十条中肯的建议，码住收藏起来吧！
1. Take care of yourself.
As a first step,don’t neglect your physical and mental health. Meditate. Do jumping jacks inyour living room. Practice yoga. Whatever it is that works for you, do what ittakes to care for your body and mind.
1.好好照顾自己
第一步，不要忽视自己的身心健康。你可以冥想、开合跳、瑜伽或者任何能使你身心愉悦的方式。
2. Learn a new skill.
Let’s face it.If you’re stuck at home, you’re probably not going to become an expert on howto run a mass spectrometer. But you could beef up your computer programmingskills—for instance, by learning how to create a fancy new graph in R or how toproduce documents in LaTeX. You could also read a book about a new topic orcircle back to that online course that you never finished.
2. 学习新的技能
首先你需要接受如果你被困在家里你是不可能成为操控质谱仪专家的这个现实，但是呢，你却可以提高你的计算机编程技能，例如，通过学习如何在R中创建新的图形或如何在LaTeX中生成文档。你还可以阅读新主题的书，或者完成从未完成的网络课程。
3. Revisit that
long forgotten project.
Somewhere in the deep, dark depths of yourcomputer’s file system, do you have an unfinished manuscript or unpublisheddata? If so, then you might want to use this time to dust off the files andfigure out whether what you have is, in fact, publishable.
3. 重新开启那个被尘封的项目。
在计算机文件系统深处的的某个地方，你是否有未完成的手稿或未发布的数据？如果是这样，那么你可以利用这段时间清理文件并弄清它们是否是可发布的。
4. Promote your work online.
Consider devoting time to a bit of marketing. Does your personal website need updating? Have you been meaning to set up a Twitter profile and learn what hashtags are? Would you like to write a popular science article? Or create a YouTube video about your research? If so, this might be the perfect time to wiggle your way out from underneath the rock you’ve been living under and find new avenues for connecting with other researchers and sharing your work. If you’re struggling with social isolation at home, then social media might also help with that—giving you a way to interact and commiserate with other scientists, such as those on #AcademicTwitter.
4. 在线推进你的工作
考虑花一些时间进行营销。您的个人网站需要更新吗？您是否打算设置Twitter个人资料并了解一些标签？您想写一篇科普文章吗？还是制作有关您的研究的YouTube视频？如果是这样，那么这可能是个绝佳的时机，让您从一直生活的圈子中走出来，找到与其他未来科学家们一起分享科研工作的新途径。如果您在家里面临社交隔离的困扰，那么社交媒体也可能会对此有所帮助-为您提供一种与其他科学家进行互动和同情的方式。
5. Create a graphical abstract of your research.
Graphicalabstracts—self-explanatory visual summaries of the main findings of yourresearch—are an increasingly popular way to communicate science. They take timeto make, but they are a perfect eye-catcher and are recyclable. Once you’vemade one, you can place it on posters, presentation slides, papers, and socialmedia platforms. It could even help you build your personal brand.
5. 创建研究课题的抽象图解。
抽象图解是研究者对于研究内容的自我解释性的总结，是一种越来越流行的科学交流方式。它们需要一些时间来制作，但它们非常醒目并且可循环利用。制作完成后，你可以将其放置在海报、演示幻灯片、论文和社交媒体平台上。它甚至可以帮助你建立个人品牌。
6. Apply for funding.
You mightbenefit from spending time scouring the internet for fellowships, grants, and awards.Don’t just look in the most obvious places, such as federal grant agency websites. Take a look around for industry awards, lower profile fellowships, and littlepots of research funding that you might be able to apply for. Even if you don’treceive an award, the process of applying will help you master the skill ofgrant writing.
6. 申请资金
花时间在互联网上寻找奖学金、助学金和奖项，你会从中受益很多哦。不要只看最瞩目的奖项网站，例如联邦赠款机构的网站。看看周围的行业奖励，研究金以及您可能可以申请到的研究经费。即使你没有获得奖励，申请过程也将帮助您掌握很多写作的技巧。
7. Think about your career plans.
When you’re in the lab, it’s easy to focus on your next experiment and neglect long-term career planning. So, consider using some of your homebound time to learn more about yourself and your career options. You could read a book about career planning, test out career options with online job simulations, or use free introspection tools, such as myIDP. These thingswill help you reflect on the skills you have, brainstorm skills you’d like todevelop, and think about where you see yourself headed in the future.
7. 考虑一下未来的职业计划
当你在实验室中时总是专注于实验操作，而忽略长期的职业规划。因此，建议用你的一些闲暇时间来了解有关职业选择的更多信息。你可以阅读有关职业规划的书，通过在线职业模拟测试职业选择，或使用免费的自省工具，例如myIDP。这些东西将帮助分析自己拥有的技能、你想发展的头脑风暴技巧，并思考你未来的发展方向。
8. Conduct informational interviews.
If you have afew ideas about jobs that might interest you, then take this time to reach outto professionals who currently hold those jobs. In the midst of a pandemic,it’s not appropriate to ask them to meet up for coffee. But you can ask themfor a quick phone call or Skype chat. The reality is that the people whom you’dlike to speak with may be working from home too. What’s more, they might beitching for more social contact. So, informational interviews could be a goodway to break isolation, learn about someone’s career, and build a network,while still keeping a distance.
8. 进行信息采访
如果你对感兴趣的工作有一些想法，可以花点时间与目前担任这些工作的专业人员联系。在疫情期间，让他们见面喝咖啡是不合适的。但是你可以和他们进行快速电话通话或Skype聊天。或许，你想与之交谈的人也可能在家中工作，而且，他们可能也渴望获得更多的社交联系。因此，进行信息采访可能是打破孤立，了解某人的职业并建立人脉的一种好方法。
9. Be nice to your fellow humans.
If you live withothers, being cooped up with them fulltime might be less fun than you imaginedit to be. Channel your frustrations into something harmless—for instance, bypunching a pillow, exhausting yourself with pushups, or placing a tea towelbetween your teeth and screaming as loud as you can. Whatever you do, don’tpunch anyone.
9.友善对待和你生活在一起的人
如果你与他人一起生活，24小时与一个人呆在一起会比想象的更加无趣。将挫败感引导到不会产生伤害的事物中，例如，打个枕头，俯卧撑使自己精疲力尽，或者在您的牙齿之间放一块茶巾，然后大声尖叫。无论您做什么，都不要打人哦。
10. Do fun stuff.
Close your eyesand think back to the time before you went to grad school. What was giving youjoy? Is there an old hobby you can pick up again? One upside of your homeconfinement is that you no longer need to spend time commuting back and forthto work. Can you reallocate that time to doing something that will bring youjoy—or, at the very least, alleviate some stress?
10. 做有趣的事情
闭上你的眼睛，回想一下你去读研究生的时间，什么事情让您感到高兴？有旧的爱好可以重新拾起来吗？居家的一个好处是，您不再需要花时间往返上下班上下班。您是否可以重新分配时间去做一些可以带来快乐的事情-或至少减轻一些压力？
It’s anincredibly turbulent time for most of us. Take care of yourself and others, andremember to wash your hands!
对我们大多数人来说，这是一个非常动荡的时期。照顾好自己和他人，切记要洗手！
