📖 New Book Release
I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book:
Patience and Iteration: Craft Your AI into a Second Mind for Science
by Yu Jiang
The difference in academic productivity today is no longer just about hours put in — it is about the difference between managing research manually and leveraging AI systematically.
Many researchers are still using AI as a glorified chatbot. The uncomfortable truth is this: the first output is almost never the best output. The real barrier to AI-driven research isn't a lack of tools; it is the lack of a disciplined, iterative workflow.
Written from the frontline experience of a Top 2% Scientist (Stanford/Elsevier ranking), this book is not another generic "prompt engineering" guide. It teaches the core philosophy of high-level AI use: Patience and Iteration — transforming scattered AI utilities into a cohesive, verifiable "Second Mind."
