Thank you for an overwhelming response on my Masterclass announcement! It's fantastic to see so many of you recognizing the importance of integrating AI into your research workflow to save valuable time and boost quality and productivity.
As the excitement builds for the upcoming AI in Research Masterclass Series, I've been receiving some fantastic questions from researchers like you.
I want to address the most common queries to help you make an informed decision about joining this transformative learning experience.
Q1: How is this masterclass series different from other webinars/workshops out there?
Great question! The main purpose of this webinar is to equip you with your own personalized toolkit. So, what sets this masterclass apart is the guide/ workbook you'll receive. This valuable resource will guide you in evaluating your unique situation (budget, requirements, workflow) and help you choose the right AI tools for your needs. Trust me, you can conduct quality AI-powered efficient research for $0 too. Lastly, you'll gain access to some of my tried and tested mega prompts and insights on which language model best suits your research needs.
Q2: I want to get multiple tickets for my research group together. Is it possible?
Absolutely! If you're interested in purchasing tickets for your research group, I'm happy to assist. In fact, few research heads/ professors have reached out to secure spots for their teams. Therefore, if you’re part of a research group, consider discussing this option with your team lead.
If you have specific requirements, such as certificates of completion, please let me know, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs. To discuss group tickets and discounts (if you’re a group of >10 researchers), simply reply to this email or reach out to me on LinkedIn or X.
Q3: Which AI tools will be covered in the masterclass, and why?
See the image below to get an idea of the tools that I’ll cover in the masterclass.
I've spent thousands of hours trying out gazillion tools, so you don't have to! In this series, I'll focus on my top picks, discussing their strengths, limitations, and how they compare to each other (also, I’m trying to get exclusive discounts on my top picks). We'll also explore the differences between free and paid versions/tools, ensuring you get the most bang for your buck. I've done the legwork to bring you the best of the best!
Q4: I'm already using some AI tools for my research. Will this masterclass still be useful for me?
That's a great question! Even if you're already using AI tools, there's always room for improvement. Do you find yourself pondering these questions:
I haven’t tried many paid tools, are they worth the investment?
Can I be more efficient in my AI-powered research workflow?
Is there a way to achieve more by subscribing to fewer tools?
If yes, then this masterclass series is definitely for you! We'll explore strategies to optimize your AI tool stack, maximize your efficiency, and ensure you're getting the best bang for your buck. However, if you find the first session not meeting your expectations, I'll happily refund your money – that's how confident I am in the value of this masterclass!
Q5: As a researcher on a tight budget, is this masterclass series a wise investment?
I understand the financial constraints, and this is the MAIN reason for designing this masterclass. Not only will you gain access to a wealth of knowledge and practical strategies, but you'll be able to select tools as per your own budget and needs for improving your research efficiency and quality. Plus, with the exclusive early bird discount, you'll be making a smart investment in your academic future. The time and effort you save by implementing the techniques covered in this series will more than justify the cost of attendance.
Q6: Will relying on AI tools hinder my growth as a researcher?
Not at all! AI tools are designed to complement your skills and expertise, not replace them. By automating repetitive tasks and providing valuable insights, AI frees up your time and mental bandwidth to focus on higher-level thinking, problem-solving, and innovation. Throughout the masterclass, I'll emphasize the importance of maintaining control over your research process and using AI as a powerful assistant to amplify your abilities.
Q7: I'm a researcher, but not in the medical and health science field. Is this masterclass still relevant for me?
If your research process involves literature searching, mapping, reading, note-taking, synthesizing, and writing, you'll find tremendous value in this masterclass. While the examples and case studies in this masterclass series may be geared towards health science research, the core principles and strategies I'll cover are applicable across various research disciplines. The AI tools and techniques I'll explore are designed to enhance the fundamental research tasks, regardless of your specific field. So, whether you're a social scientist, an engineer, or a humanities researcher, I assure you that this masterclass will provide you with actionable insights to streamline your research workflow and boost your productivity.
Q8: How will you address the ethical concerns surrounding AI use in academic research?
Throughout the sessions, I’ll discuss the best practices for responsible AI integration, maintaining transparency, and upholding academic integrity. You'll learn to identify and mitigate potential plagiarism risks while harnessing the power of AI to enhance your research. By the end of the series, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to use AI ethically and effectively in your academic work.
Q9: I'm not very technical. Will I be able to keep up with the masterclass content?
Absolutely! I'll break down complex concepts into easily digestible chunks. Whether you're a tech novice or an experienced user, you'll find the content engaging, accessible, and immediately applicable to your research. By the end of the series, you'll be surprised at how comfortable and confident you'll feel with using AI for your research!
Q10: When are the masterclass sessions scheduled?
The masterclass series consists of three sessions, each focusing on a key aspect of AI-powered research:
Session 1 - Literature search and mapping: Fri, 24 May (1300 to 1530 EST)
Session 2 - Reading, note-taking, data extraction, and synthesis: Sat, 25 May (1300 to 1500 EST)
Session 3 - Writing and editing: Sun, 26 May (1300 to 1500 EST)
I will share the recordings and notes, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit the material anytime.
