This seems like a pile of generally good, and some non-obvious advice, that's also useful outside of the boundaries of ML (it would also apply to a PhD in Neuroscience for example).

The best research advice is always unsolicited. The official version tells you how it is supposed to work, not how it actually does.

Biggest drawback these days is funding (Govt. is not liking research with all fund cuts) and long term opportunities for folks doing research.

I want to watch the presentation, is there a recording, does anyone know? When the Overview slide starts with "Don’t do overview slides, it’s bad practice", I feel like I'm missing quite some context here.
