I have noticed that a great part of my followers are University students. In general all University students will be introduced with research during their study, whether they like it or not ;-).
In order to help you I have set up an interview, together with my fellow student Nelly Drenth, with Martijn Balsters. Martijn Balsters has a lot of experience as a researcher, at this moment he is a PhD Student at the University of Tilburg. Martijn Balsters is doing research for the Psychology department and is specialized in psychonomics/neuroscience, he was willing to gain us an insight into his daily work.
The most recent publications of Martijn are:

The most recent publications of Martijn are:
- Balsters, M.J.H., Krahmer, E.J., Swerts, M., & Vingerhoets, A.J.J.M. (2010). Measuring potential cues for depression in adolescents. In A.J. Spink et al. (Ed.), Proceedings of Measuring Behavior 2010 (pp. 239-242). Wageningen: Noldus Information Technology.
- Krahmer, E.J., Schaafsma, J., Swerts, M., Balsters, M.J.H., & Vingerhoets, A.J.J.M. (2010). Non-verbal responses to being ignored: Evidence of cognitive deconstruction? In S. Ohlsson & R. Catrambone (Eds.), Proceedings of the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci) (pp. 2542-2547). Austin: University of Texas.
When Martijn was asked what he liked most about being a researcher, he answered that you have a lot of freedom and you are able to be occupied creatively. You are allowed to come up with new things as long as it is in line with your research assignment. Because you, as a researcher, discover some things that no one has discovered before, which are mostly very small things of course, that can help in future diagnoses it gives you a great kick, this really motivates Martijn.
Advice from Martijn to all students who have to do research in future:

Advice from Martijn to all students who have to do research in future:
- Like your research subject
- Be patient
- Work structural
- Don’t take everything to serious
Great advice I think, when we keep this in mind while preparing and doing our research it must turn out successfully! To watch the whole interview you can find the video below. Unfortunately YouTube did not allow us to use the music we wanted in our video, nevertheless it is still interesting and enjoyable.
