Do you remember when you joined Twitter? #MyTwitterAnniversary And, unfortunately, I think I'm done here. #RIPTwitter Find me on Bsky, LinkedIn, Facebook (page), my website, in my free co-working sessions, in my paid program, in paid 1:1s, or on email! jen@fromphdtolife.com

@EvaCarpigo Ha! Thanks for sharing!! It's a nice place, all things considered.

To every student and young person who stood up on university campuses against what are now officially deemed war crimes: you are heroes and your persecutors are trash.

Replaced the horrible X icon with this nice butterfly in my email signoff. This is a bit of a hack job since it's not a built-in icon in WiseStamp, but needs must! (Big sigh.) bsky.app/profile/fromph…

@CrescentMoon08 Sending support!

@FromPhDtoLife Now I'm thinking for working as an independent researcher and publish some papers. And when I'm of a sound mind and emotions are at a better space,and am at more at peace with myself. I will start afresh at a new uni. Until then,I will rest and recharge. I neee that. 💜(4/4)

Needed to see this, hear this. Everytime ppl tell me "why are you quitting when you're almost done. And just need to take one more step ahead!" No, bro. My mental and emotional wellbeing comes first.

@JDRunning2PhD I'll look for you!!

@CrescentMoon08 I'm so sorry! Students are a vulnerable group, in the context of universities. And there are endless other ways to spend your time, learn and do cool things, and earn a few bucks while investing energy toward a better future!!

@FromPhDtoLife they don't understand how life at academia doesn't just depend on an individual's efforts but also the type of advisor/supervisor they have. and i just am not an lucky one on this matter. my supervisor doesn't even coordinate w me well on the simplest of task. 😅😅🥲🥲
