When you have a good supervisor, you don't need to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. It's already lit. #phdvoice #phdchat #phdlife #academiclife #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie

@ThePhDPlace PhD 6: it's too late to turn back now, I am committed to this dumpster fire aka my project. But it's my dumpster fire.

What do you think?

@ThePhDPlace Yes ... 👍!

Hey algorithm, I want to connect with people who love: 📕 Books 📚 Research 🎓 Education 📖 Studying 📝 Scholarlship 🔬 Science 💻 Technology 📖 Academia 📊 Analysis 🖋️ Writing 📰 Publications 📓 Journals 🔍 Experiments 📊 Data 🎓 Thesis 💡 Critical thinking 🤓 Peer review 📌 Citations 🎙️ Conferences

@arispapargyriou Here, they randomly stop, require overcrowded shuttle service. Also, flooded stations, leading to mob escape. I like to think of it as exciting and unpredictable. Who knows if I'll get to my destination today, or at all?

@jflWrites Traps!

I keep feeling rejected by people's profiles that say, "No DMs!" I mean, what do they have against Dungeon Masters? 😂😅🤣

@ThePhDPlace Wow, that's amazing. I hope for same one day, after the PhD ... I heard postdocs can afford rent. Tell me it's not a lie!

Can’t afford a mortgage on a PhD salary but I can pay rent…

WOOO!

@realmattfalcon I only know that I don't know, which is still more than I knew before.

Seriously, does anyone have any clue what they’re doing? 😅🤣 #WritingCommunity

@TheStrugglingS4 A postdoc recently told me that graduation isn't the ending I think it is.

Spoilers for Academia ... I mean Squid game 😅

@mtlblog Real maple syrup.

What food should someone try (other than poutine) if they visit Quebec for the very-first time?

@ThePhDPlace Zotero?

The worst part about writing is having to write references (ThePhDPlace et al., 2024)

@ThePhDPlace Come do a postdoc in Canada! We have all the missing things 🇨🇦 like equality and stuff.

Anyone else struggling to concentrate today?

@ThePhDPlace Optics

Finish the sentence: Academia values…

@byMorganWright Your, you're. They're, there, their. Whose, who's. They/them, who/whom ...

Just saw someone write “would of” instead of “would’ve”. … Consequently, the little grammar & spelling fairy inside my soul died😭🥴💀🤣. (Yes, I’m dramatic, shush🤣)

@TheStrugglingS4 It's the defense that worries me. I've seen some pretty brutal roundtable examiners. I strive to handle it as elegantly as the defenders I've observed who remained poised and saved the tears right up until they exited during deliberations.

ooh no 😟

@TAMillennial It's a love/hate relationship.

Do you honestly like yourself?

@MsAnjaliB Harry Potter.

What movie have you rewatched the most in your life?

@mtlblog The construction on St Cath when I moved here in 2018 is still there. Only bigger, somehow.

What annoys the crap out of you about Montreal?

@ThePhDPlace Chaos is productivity.

What is your academic hot take?

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice .... ☕

The best part of a conference is the food. #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I am less stupid than before. But just enough that I can't finish yet. It's been 6 years. Let's just take the median and call me slow.

Don’t forget to look back and see just how far you’ve come in your PhD. #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice
