“are u okay” no can we change the topic before i cry
Hello #AcademicTwitter I am crowd-funding my PhD. If anyone needs data analysis done, from sample size calculations to full thesis analyses at nominal rates, DM me. Please share with anyone who might help me. TY! #phdchat #crowdfunding #helptostudy #DataAnalytics #AcademicHelp
Been trying to maintain my eyebrows myself since COVID started and I just have to ask....why is it so hard to keep these darn things symmetrical? I can handle cell cultures, chemical synthesis on tiny scales, WB, ect. But this I struggle with
me to myself after misloading a gel
Me: (cleans up one small pile) God that was exhausting
I am utterly and completely drained. You win, grad school.
COVID is making me feel really down this holiday season. I miss spending this time with family and friends but know it is not responsible to do so....its even more frustrating when you see other people just doing whatever they want anyway 😣
Don’t know who needs to hear this but: Your mental and physical health are FAR more important than any research project, publication, class assignment, meeting or teaching responsibility in grad school. YOU as a person are what matters.
Whenever someone’s excuse for treating a grad student poorly is, “well, that’s just academia for you” I want to scream. NO. It’s not how academia has to be or should be! WE have to challenge the toxic cycle and promote a better, more supportive academic environment.
Question: What are you an ACTUAL expert in? I’ll start: Although I have a PhD in invertebrate neurobiology and now work as an antibody engineer, I can with all certainty say my expertise firmly lies in the TV show Gossip Girl
Living with anxiety (Academia special) 5 minutes before sending my draft to the PI: Anxiety: EVERYTHING you've done here is wrong. Me: EVERYTHING ?🥺 Anxiety: Yes, EVERYTHING 😐 Me: Anxiety:
Avoiding my email because I told my boss I would send him a document yesterday and here I am still working on it.....ooopsie....this isn't going to end well
