@EmmaKerr_ @thismorning I mean it really depends. Coeliac varies from person to person, I personally react severely and would not feel comfortable eating from a buffet with gluten containing foods as I have been ill from this in the past. X

@thismorning @thismorning The gluten free food isle in shops is small. I would be telling the mother in law to not take the only supply of gluten free food and serve for an entire buffet when only 1 person needs this dietary requirement! Shocking!

@thismorning I can’t believe she just said a lady that her 15 year old should grow up because they are a fussy eater & won’t like any of gluten free buffet served by the mother in law on Christmas! A gluten free only buffet is not the way to go just because 1 person is ceoliac!

@santanderukhelp Okay I get that but I put the money in by transfer not standing order?

@abimcglone Hi Abi, You can save up to a maximum of £200 each month for 12 months by standing order from your Santander current account. The maximum balance you can have in this account at the end of 12 months is £2,400. You can make any number of payments via sta... santanderuk.response.lithium.com/portal/convers…

@santanderukhelp I just opened a regular saver and transferred the £200 into the account. Now I've just read that I need to be moving the money by standing order else it'll be turned into an everyday saver! What do I do to keep the regular saver benefits?

Take a break. Go for a walk. Get yourself a hot drink. Watch your favourite show. Make sure you are looking after yourself.

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice In the uk funding is fixed for 3.5 years. Most people will complete the PhD for that time. And if not in the 3.5 then definitely in 4 years. Anything longer is very rare.

On average, how long does it take to complete a PhD at your university? And which university are you at?🤔 #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

Everyone should have the opportunity to go to university.

(1/2) We're thrilled to announce a new research project to find a cure for coeliac disease, funded by our amazing community. Led by researchers at Oxford and Cambridge, the project will start this autumn and last three years, with annual reports...

@ThePhDPlace At CERN in November for my first experiment ☺️

Let’s celebrate our different journeys. Post a picture of you doing your research 👇🏼

The pressure to publish can lead to unethical research practices and a lack of focus on quality over quantity. Let's prioritize integrity in academic research and not just the number of publications.

Congratulations to my co-supervisor Dr Kara Lynch on receiving the Ernest Rutherford Fellowship!! ukri.org/news/next-gene…

@ThePhDPlace Yes! I religiously get 8-8.5 hours of sleep else I’m absolutely horrible to be around. It’s one of my non negotiables

Do you feel like you get enough sleep?

@Jodie_Boisvert No! 🤗

Am I weird for putting an ! and a 🤗 at the end of all my communications? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@LharaMullins @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter There can definitely be problems with prezi if you’re asked to present not from your own computer- whereas PowerPoint is a universally accepted format. As I’m sure others have said I’d also be worried people spend more time looking at the presentation than listening

People who use #PowerPoint , have you tried Prezi ? Thoughts on which is better? Tempted to try Prezi for an important presentation I have coming up. Pros? Cons? #Prezi @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice

(1/4) Our report ‘The Gluten Free Diet: How much does it cost and why does it matter?’ reveals the cost of a minimum standard basket of gluten free food costs up to 20% more when compared to a standard basket.

Feeling so much solidarity from everyone here ❤️ I’ve sent an email to the disability advice services to get started on an application- let’s hope for some good accommodations 🙏

Thank you for all the comments, I think the thing I’m worried about is whether I would qualify as I mentioned above the condition is “well managed” and is not something people generally consider as a condition that would require accommodations…

Anyone got any experience with University disability services- trying to figure out what they could help with as a PhD student. I have an autoimmune disease that is generally managed but can have flare ups which make me very tired. #phdchat #phdvoice #AcademicChatter

Being haunted by the screensaver of the desk next to mine 😂

Almost 20 years ago, I wrote my first research paper. Today, I have more than 28k citations. I had 0 writing support from my supervisor during my PhD, so now I share share everything I learn with you. Here are 3 secret actionable writing tips for each section of your paper. ↓

@EddSteve74 @DisabledAcadem Thank you! This is really helpful for advice on things I could ask for that aren’t just extensions

Ramadhan is in a few days! Reminder that not every Muslim can fast, or is advised to do so medically. Either due to disability, chronic illness, medication schedules, there are many reasons. And none of them are your business, so don't ask!
