II. The Lab List

二、实验室列表

Okay, now you have a bunch of ideas and have probably started to get a sense of the labs you're interested in. I highly recommend making a spreadsheet where you list the labs you're interested in and suggest making it at least 15 groups. I actually had 36 on my spreadsheet, spanning at least five fields/sub-fields. But I have broad interests and so I wanted broad reach, hence the high number.

好了，现在你已有了一堆想法，可能也已经开始了解感兴趣的实验室了。我强烈建议你制作一个表格，列出你感兴趣的实验室，并建议列表中至少有15个实验室。实际上，我的列表上有36个，涉及至少五个领域/子领域。但我有广泛的兴趣，所以我想要广泛的影响，因此这个数字很高。

What gets you on my list? Interest. That's it. That interest can stem from their scientific scope, their technical skills, something I heard about their culture that appealed to me, I talked to a postdoc by their poster at a conference and they seemed really happy with the lab, vibes, whatever. If I had a general interest in the lab it made the list.

是什么条件让你进入我的列表？兴趣。只有兴趣。这种兴趣可能源于他们的科学范围、技术技能，我听说过的他们的文化吸引了我，我通过他们的海报在一次会议上与一名博士后交谈，他们似乎对实验室、氛围等任何事情都非常满意。如果我对这个实验室有普遍的兴趣，它就会上榜。

The reason I suggest having at least ten labs on your list is because the goal should be to interview with 3-5 when the time comes. From my list of 36, I emailed a shortlisted 5 and interviewed with 3 of them. Having a few labs on your starting list that represent a big field shift for you is a good thing because maybe you have a chat with the PI in that field that is just so exciting that now you all of the sudden see yourself doing that work. It happens.

我建议在列表中至少有10个实验室的原因是，目标应该是在时机成熟时与3-5个实验室进行面试。从我的36个实验室中，我给入围的5个实验室发了邮件，并面试了其中3个。在你的起始名单上有几个实验室，对你来说代表着一个巨大领域转变，这是一件好事，因为也许你与那个领域的PI聊过天，现在你突然想从事那项工作，这太人兴奋了。它竟然发生了。

I made a template spreadsheet which you can feel free to modify and use in whatever way works best for you. It really doesn't have to be fancy.

我制作了一个表格模板，你可以随意修改以任何最适合你的方式使用。它真的不必太花哨。
