Happy PhD Supervisor

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice: 1. Don’t work evenings or weekends 2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities 3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

For me its time to leave X. Can I find you on 🦋? Like this message and I will look for you there. Thanks for all the great interactions 🙏🏻. This account has helped me get through a tough time recovering from a car accident. I wish you great PhD times & Happy supervisors!

Gentle reminder: don’t wait too long with sending a draft to your supervisor(s) for feedback. Getting their feedback in an early stage is more efficient than having to change a lot when you already thought you had almost finished a piece. #AcademicTwitter #PhDLife #PhDChat

I’m curious: do you participate in a PhD programme? And if yes, what does it bring you? #PhDLife #PhDChat #AcademicTwitter

As coordinator of a PhD program I’m happy to learn from your experiences.

#PhDlife is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep your balance, celebrate your wins, and remember to relax when you need to. Take care of your well-being, set small goals, and embrace the challenges. You’re doing great! 💡 #PhDone #AcademicTwitter #researchers #USAElection2024

✅ What to Do in Ph.D Life 🎓 1️⃣ Set clear goals: Stay focused 🎯 2️⃣ Manage time: Prioritize tasks ⏳ 3️⃣ Stay healthy: Body & mind matter 🧠💪 4️⃣ Seek feedback early: Improve continuously 🔄 5️⃣ Network & collaborate: Expand horizons 🌐 #PhDLife #AcademicTwitter

Do your future self (and your supervisor) a favour and KEEP NOTES of your experiments! Writing up the methods section for a study we started a few years ago... I'd be lost without my notes! #AcademicChatter #phdvoice #phdlife #phdchat #STEM #STEMeducation

@arfamom I’m the reviewer I guess. How about you?

Which type of supervisor are you? The editor or the reviewer? #phdlife #phd #postgrads

🚫 What NOT to Do in Ph.D Life 🎓 1️⃣ Procrastinate: Time flies ⏳ 2️⃣ Ignore Health: Physical & mental 🧠💪 3️⃣ Avoid Feedback: Early revisions = less stress 🔄 4️⃣ Work in Isolation: Collaborate & network 🌐 5️⃣ Neglect work-life balance: Burnout is real 🔥 #PhDLife

Advice for PhD Candidates: 1. Choose a supportive advisor. 2. Seek sincere connections, not just "networking." 3. Papers open doors; ethics and meaningful connections open the right ones. 4. Stay connected to your initial motivation. 5. Your actions define you, not your title.

What an honor to be invited to share these tips for the junior researchers of @EarliSig1. And special thanks to my costar, Happy PhD Student @CJMTielemans, and @Niels6434847779 for opening up about their highs and lows of doing a PhD. #sig1conference #PhdLife #PhdChat

These tips from @HaPhDsupervisor could apply to everyone not just PhD students!
