If you don’t sit in your car for at least 20 minutes before walking into the lab, are you even a Ph.D. Student?
Slaying PhD viva tip 2: Examiners don’t come to your PhD viva with the intention to fail you, and most of the time they ask you questions because they are genuinely interested so take that as an opportunity to have fruitful discussions @AcademicChatter
I don't know who needs to hear this today but your 'success' in academia does not define you, your work and your goals. Academia will take and take from you until you forget you are actually someone with gifts.
So I was talking to my mom and my friend who are also working in #PhD programs and I was telling them stuff about preparing manuscripts for journals that they weren't told about in their programs and I wondered, how many other people don't know this? 1/ #AcademicChatter #gradchat
How I feel when my advisor asks me to do something wildly unreasonable nowadays. Nothing phases me. I have accepted defeat. 😂
Today I had a student fall asleep in class. And you know what happened??? I LET THE STUDENT SLEEP. And you know what happened next? Nothing. The world kept spinning and everything was fine. #RealCollege
Every email I ever send: Hello! I am extremely excited to be corresponding with you! You can tell by the number of exclamation points I use! Here is one sentence with a period so that I don’t come across as manic. Thanks!
Don’t want to glorify this, but I also want to shout out to my crew in the lab this Saturday! Who’s with me? Let us sharing cute animal pictures and memes in solidarity/ for our own sanity.
Sometimes I feel so unsupported and lost. Have any folks in #AcademicTwitter ever felt like their PhD program/ environment you were in as a student in general delayed you hitting your full potential? I need success stories and hope. 🤪
Little known fact: I was *very* close to quitting my PhD at the 2 year mark. I felt lost; like I wasn't making progress and there was no end in sight. If this is you today, know that you are *not* alone. You can finish, one small victory at a time @PhD_Balance @AcademicChatter
Thinking about another year of classes starting up soon... last year of coursework 💀
I just stumbled across a really interesting website for PhDs looking for jobs both in and out of academia: versatilephd.com Perhaps it will be helpful to others in #AcademicTwitter! #phdchat #phdlife
How I feel most days. Interpret however you’d like. 🤣
I have been sitting at my desk staring at this paper for an hour now. A week of writing all day, every day. How do I find motivation? Help!
Retweeting so that I can read over and over again 😹
Today, my non-academic friends started talking about saving for retirement, benefits, and sick days at work....I literally sat in silence for an entire conversation because I just

Monday-Thursday: countdown to the weekend Friday-Sunday: denial that Monday is a thing
Sitting in an ER on a Friday night. My dad has had a stroke. Touch and go, they say. I just don't know.
It is worth repeating. Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Non-binary people are valid. Intersex people exist. There is no LGB movement without the T. Yesterday, now, and always.
So like, if your parent is a professor...do you have to submit a minimum 2 page proposal and a personal statement any time you ask them for money???
Being stressed is the only hobby I can afford in grad school.
@beecher31009380 @UCLFatuminaSA @AcademicChatter Because it is. At the time when you have to choose you rarely have the info and the experience to really make an informed decision. A lot of people throw away their career by choosing the wrong PI. Which doesn't mean necessarily their PI was a bad person, just not the right one.
Every PhD student should have 2 supervisors. You may think you don’t need a secondary sup as you enter your first year, but wait until you are half way through. If you don’t have one, ask for one, it’s your right @AcademicChatter
I was today years old when I learned that you can make brown sugar by mixing white sugar and molasses. 🥄
Let’s play a game called “don’t do any work today because you deserve the day off from academia.”
@DefeatedPhd You’ve got to build up your strength so when you’re a prof you can sit in your car for 30-45 minutes before walking in.
@DefeatedPhd Yes! 🙌 And then on to better opportunities.

Dear students, If you find yourself sending 7+ emails to your prof w/in 1 hr please consider 1 of 2 options. Either withhold hitting send until you have gathered several questions, or consider taking an in-person class where you can easily dialogue with the prof.
