Finished the beta of my AI Chrome extension for academics! Its trained on thousands of academic texts to help you: • Gain quicker, deeper insights from academic literature • Generate research ideas • Reduce time on emails A peek of it in action ⬇️ #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

Academia is tough. Particularly for the PhDs, postdocs, and early-career researchers working in a system where competition and unhealthy metrics disincentivise collaboration with lower-ranking researchers. What's your top tip for escaping the rat race? #AcademicTwitter

Thinking about open-sourcing the Chrome extension I designed for for academics! So far, it's helped 532 researchers to: • Read papers quicker & smarter • Spark new research ideas • Reduce ⏲️ on emails Comment below if it would be helpful to you #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

Made some huge user interface and experience changes with my chatGPT for academic writing app for MS Word. • improved paraphrasing • adjust text based on author comments • new cut word count feature Can't wait to share them with you. #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

👺 ...in a groundbreaking study released by the Harvard School of Hard Knocks, researchers have confirmed that academia remains the global leader in the production of highly trained masochists.

Most researchers give terrible presentations. Three simple rules to be the exception: 1. Have one key point on each slide. 2. Write your presentation. Then, build the slides. 3. Use 1-2 fonts & 2-3 colours max. Bonus: Have fun! Be creative. #AcademicTwitter

@PhDVoice Writing a manuscript is difficult. I'm not going to lie. But it gets easier the more text you put on the page. Each step in this workflow is designed to build upon the last. Bullet points --> Sentences --> Refined text. Try this method at least once. It'll change your life.

@PhDVoice 🫧 Redraft for polish and clarity. Until now, we've focused on getting words on the page. Now we change strategy: • Refine your arguments, • Tighten your prose • Focus your narrative This is made infinitely easier by the blocks you've already put in place.

✍️ Accelerate your academic paper creation with this workflow: #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

@shamoons @PhDVoice Thoroughly comment on the code to help the devs track what you're doing & only ask for critical permissions.

@TheProductiveR3 @PhDVoice Any tips from a seasoned veteran to help expedite that?

@KimMinjiUX @PhDVoice The overall quality of my work remained the same. But the time it took to get to the final stage was 10x quicker.

@TheProductiveR3 @PhDVoice Totally get the struggle of first drafts. But hey, using chatGPT to turn outlines into drafts? That's a game changer! How did it impact the overall quality of your work?

📝 Writing the first-draft is one of the hardest things in academic writing. I spent hours crafting the perfect chatGPT prompt to turn my outlines into a strong first draft. In this thread, we'll break it down. (full template prompt at the end) #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

#AcademicTwitter, here's a simple yet powerful trick for organising chatGPT outputs: 📊 Ask for outputs in a table format! • Instantly organises complex data • Simplifies comparison and analysis • Turns AI insights into clear, actionable information @PhDVoice @PostDocVoice

In 2022, I spent 80% of my time in the lab procrastinating The 3 strategies I used in 2023 to stop: • Yearly, monthly, & weekly goals that are clear and measurable • Daily tasks (3-5) aligned with weekly goals • Productivity sprints: 52 mins of work, 12 mins break @PhDVoice

More research ideas than time? 3 question to ask when selecting research papers that will bring you the most joy to write 1. Does the research excite you? 2. Will you get to work with great people? 3. Will it lead to an impact your proud of? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

@PostdocVoice Tip: Use chatGPT plug-ins for citation search. Though GPT-4 has full access to the web, you'll get more relevant results by enabling GPT-4 plug-ins that search literature databases. 🔎 ScholarAI is the one I use most If you want a guide on installing & using, comment below
