AI is rapidly becoming part of academic life, but knowing how to use it responsibly, efficiently, and without wasting time is a challenge. AI Tools for Academics is a practical masterclass designed to help researchers, PhD candidates, and academics turn AI into a reliable part of their scientific workflow, not a gimmick you try once and never touch again.
Led by Suzanne and Jayron, PhD graduates and the creators of The Struggling Scientists, this course is built on years of hands-on experience testing, reviewing, and teaching AI tools specifically for research. We do the trial and error for you and show you what actually works in academia, saving you time, frustration, and unnecessary costs.
The course is fully modular and flexible. New to AI? Start with the basics and build your skills step by step. Already using tools like ChatGPT? Skip ahead and dive straight into advanced, application-focused modules that match what you need right now. Follow the course in any order and return to specific sections whenever they become relevant in your research year.
You get one full year of access, including regular updates as tools and best practices evolve. You can ask questions directly to the instructors and learn at your own pace. After completing the course, you have the option to receive a certificate that may be included in your academic training record, depending on your institution.
