This is an awesome discussion! Folks are recommending iPads (or other tablets) with paper-like screen protectors and styluses, and devices from reMarkable, Supernote, and Boox. I will pass these on to my friend!

Just a friendly nudge: don't miss out on my free webinar tailored for professors, postdocs, and PhDs seeking new opportunities outside academia. It could be the resource you've been looking for! Pass it along to your students, mentees, and colleagues. fromphdtolife.com/phd-job-search…

My professor friend does a lot of printing papers to provide feedback, reading .pdf files, and handwriting notes. We talked about her maybe getting a Remarkable tablet. What devices or accessories do you recommend for folks who like paper but appreciate having searchable notes?

Because I'm in a big city and rely on public transit, my routine (specialist) medical appointment took more than 3 hours of my time today, the vast majority of that time in transportation: bus, walking, waiting, subway. I'm glad to have access! But it's so time-consuming for me.

What's a talent you have that wouldn't be apparent from your academic CV?

So if the only thing stopping you from opposing literal genocide is the fear that someone else will call you an "antisemite," 1) send them my thread on why we aren't using that word anymore and 2) ignore them, because they're a Zist and their opinion doesn't fking matter. 10/

@FromPhDtoLife In 2022, I quit my developmental psychology post-doc for UX Research. Now I'm a Human Factors Engineer at a medical device company! I study surgeons now, but they are essentially big babies :)

If anyone has earned the right to be called a scholar, it is this student. The determination to pursue his education, & the depth of perseverance amidst a genocide of his ppl that he successfully defended his thesis in a refugee camp is beyond admirable. Bless him & his profs.

Let's recommend PhDs working beyond academia for postdocs to follow. By connecting with people who use their PhDs in unconventional ways, postdocs can broaden their perspectives. Feel free to suggest yourself and others.
