@FromPhDtoLife I needed a break from academia/research after my PhD, so was a high school science & agriculture teacher. Am now back at the university as an "Academic - HDR Training" (training for PhD students), which is my dream job 😊❤️

Just because someone appears to be doing fine & have everything under control, doesn't mean they're not struggling💚

@dr_dirt_oz @DAFQld @SoilScienceAust Hope you enjoyed the conference and Darwin - was hoping to get up to my hometown but didn't work out this year 😊

Been very fortunate this week in Darwin at #soilconferenceau to introduce 2 x early career @DAFQld regional research agronomy team staff to soil science community. Very vibrant @SoilScienceAust colleagues made them welcome 👍

Came across this quote and it's really resonating with me at the moment.

Today's Voice message audio transcript that came through: "Quite cats are Nigerian Kia calling." I've got nothing 🤣

“Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported. Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance”.
Good advice for ECRs who often choose labs for their prestige rather than a supportive environment where they could thrive! science.org/content/articl…

The tooth fairy will be busy in our household tonight with both Mr 10 and Miss 5 losing teeth today... now wondering if the "tooth fairy" raid the kids piggy banks (the only source of cash in the home) 🤔😅 #parenting

I’d be keen to know the top three categories you fall into and what your current job is?

@Lucy_Sattler and her team at Study Work Grow are trying to find a way to help talk about careers that is relevant to our current world of work. And they are wanting adults to test their career clusters quiz: thecareerclusters.com/the-survey/

@MST_Writes I love this - I'm a (former) teacher who loathes the pressures of final exams and ATARs. They're such a poor indicator for what students are truly capable of achieving. Well done to your daughter for realising that the ATAR pathway is not the only one to success!

My daughter is in Year 12. A low-stress version of Year 12 because she decided to go 'unscored'. That is, no ATAR score and therefore no exams. She still has to do the work, and pass, but that's it. After my initial shock, I've come to love her decision. Here's why ... 1/6

Fellow academics: what did you do in your PhD program to make money to pay bills since programs don’t pay a livable wage? @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Have done the obligatory "What do you want to be when you're older?" Miss 5's answer is a "#Princess" or a "Police Officer" if the former doesn't work out. Always good to have a back up plan 👌 😅 @nswpolice
