Prof Lucina Hackman

Worst customer care I have ever seen and not even fulfilling their minimal responsibilities

Flying @British_Airways and experiencing the worst trip ever! Whole flight cancelled after a 2 hour wait. Flights rebooked for 24 hrs later. support til then was a £10 food voucher - but for overnight accommodation was literally told ‘use Booking.com’ At 00.30hrs!!

Delighted to announce that TRACE Wildlife Forensics Network’s Wildlife Crime Scene and Evidence Management and subject matter specialist Train the Trainer programme have both successfully been approved by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences for CPD Certification.

@ThePhDPlace Personally I believe no input no authorship and would refuse it if I was offered it if I did no work. Also many journals ask how much input each author has. Saying that, not everyone takes the same stance and so I would check with your supervisor for the sake of politics (sadly)

Anonymous question: "I have both a thesis director and supervisor. In my time in the group (8 months PhD + 1 year research assistant) I have never met the director or talked to him. I don't know if it is ethical to cite him as co-author in my journal papers. What should I do?"

@ashleyrattner K-dramas - there are some great ones and enough to keep you occupied for weeks! Also lots of choice

@ThePhDPlace Attend if you want to, don’t if you don’t want to - you will be sent the certificate if you don’t go and you have gained your doctorate either way- your choice and for no one else to judge.

I’m curious to know how many others have felt this

@TheHEcTeacher Just go for it - never too late and why not?

At 55 is it too late to have a midlife crisis and want a tattoo? This would be my first one and although I’ve wanted one for 10 years I’ve always chickened out.

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Paper publishing is not mandatory - no PhD student passes or fails on this- it does make a difference when going for academic jobs but if not wanting to go into academia then not necessary. Each student is different, each set circumstances is different - there is no right answer

How many papers do you think a PhD student *should* publish during their PhD? #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

@MonkeyPaws7 @WMFireDogs Yes - same - used “step”and he would feel more carefully. It did not take long for him to learn and it really helped him.

@hackman_dr @WMFireDogs We taught our dog the word Step. When we said that she would reach out with a paw to feel ahead for a kerb or a step.

Today is the third day of Kai’s new life as a blind dog. I don’t know how long this will be for, or where this story goes, but I do know he wagged his tail more today than yesterday 🙏🏼 I’m looking for #blinddogtoys, this is new to us, any suggestions or recommendations??

@DDpaulmcfadyen You got this Paul!

Getting dangerously close to having a full, submittable thesis.

@MashManMandela @DarrenJM73 @EleanorMorton In Scotland the orange ones that I call a swede are called turnips - caused so much confusion when I first moved here!

@DarrenJM73 @EleanorMorton Interesting… cos Im south (Wiltshire/Dorset) and we call a swede (yellow) a swede, and as you say you can’t find the turnips (white) for sale much these days

Oh no it's the time of year when I get irrationally angry that America thinks it invented Halloween. I'm so sorry in advance.

@oldnorthroad Been there and won, it is a great word- also found that “whom”was another hill I was prepared to stand firm on a few years back! *cheering you on from the sidelines in sunny dundee*
