Using only emojis, describe how you feel about your PhD right now. 😁 #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

The scarcity of academic jobs isn’t natural or normal - it’s manufactured through funding decisions #academictwitter

Shoutout to every early career scholar who has not heard back from any of their job/post-docs they’ve applied to - we are with you and you are not alone dealing with the excruciating silence and very cruel process #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #gradlife

@FebruaryFaith @AcademicChatter First thing I do is to read through it and then put some distance between you and the paper. I give myself 2-3 weeks usually but if you don’t have time, just pause and do something else for an hour or so. That distance makes all the difference

I need a shoulder to cry on. Just got almost 100 comments back on one of my chapters. 😭😭😭 How do you deal with these? @AcademicChatter @TweeterAcademic #phdchat #phdlife

If you're struggling to meet your writing deadlines or want some focussed writing sessions to complete your paper, I recommend joining this Shut Up & Write session. @AcademicChatter @TweeterAcademic @PhDVoice @ThePhDPlace @Researchcarreer #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter A 🧵

I’m pretty sure the biggest brain term I’ve heard is “anti-disciplinary” among humanities folks haha

Looking for folks who can either help PhDs transition from academia to a career in computer science, or have successfully made a career change to industry and have some helpful tips! @FreethePhD #altac #AcademicTwitter #postac #phdchat #AcademicChatter #Careers

It’s a good idea to have a “What’s the catch” section in form of “Impact and Significance” in methodological papers 📉📈📝 @AcademicChatter @TweeterAcademic #phdchat #phdvoice

@AcaGrumbles So many stories of professors just starting their lecture without hitting record because they’re just so used to starting the talk. Happened to me too but not with a lecture

@JaishriJuice After a year, barely a chapter written

@ziadachkar This is so important!! When I was in grad school ABD, this was the only way I could feel like I’m actually in a PhD program

@letisha122 It’s a tough lesson to learn for sure, but we’ve got to be okay killing our darlings

My relationship with academia_edu alerts

@JenkinsZoeM I’m in this tweet 2x

Me, constantly: "Must have thick skin, must not take criticism personally, academia is rough" Also me when I get positive feedback from supervisors: #phdchat #phdlife

@lauraannehind It’s taxing but you could see it as practice for how to research/master a subject enough to teach to others who don’t know it yet

Can anyone enlighten me on how teaching during a PhD works? Teaching is something I really want to do while I’m studying because it’s a career goal of mine and I can’t find any information on this anywhere😕 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdchat

@wenonah_mv And the unfortunate thing is that there is little return/recognition for the efforts of checking off those boxes

This level of transparency is so needed in academia #phdlife

@CCourage_ One of the best lessons to learn in any workplace setting!

@AcaGrumbles Seriously happens way too often
