Research is a super super fun process. However there's a lot of uncertainty and not a lot of how to I "do" research guides, so the process can be frustrating. Below are a set of notes for some aspects of the process.

• Setup
• Picking problems
• The research process
• Papers and reviews
• Code, experiments, and deployment
• Communication
• Applying (to grad school and faculty jobs)
