Feeling all the love today, celebrated the almost arrival of our new little guy in a few weeks! (And gifts from your PhD advisor are always just right 😂)

A boardwalk stretches away across marshy ground into the distance in a gentle curve with the destination not yet visible. The path is even and the weather is fine with blue sky and sunshine.
#4WeekPhDPush A morning of writing ahead - hoping to get a section sent off to my supervisor, so that's my target. Trying a huge push to get the Discussion chapter written and get to the home straight. It's a long #PhD journey! #PhDSky
Peer reviewers often navigate peer review alone and in the dark.
ReviewerOne is changing that with tools, training, resources, and a reviewer community forum to help reviewers learn, grow, and get recognized for their work.

#PhDsky Do not invest in groups that students are taught to be racists, neither abusive or condescending to visiting professors for gross mysoginia. Do not collaborate to individuals who silenced women to please domestic abusers that fake data. #Pharmasky @unv.org @npr.org @academicabuse.com
So you want to be a dean?
Because the real work isn’t in the meetings, it’s in the moments you choose to listen, mentor, and move the mission forward.
Ready for that level of leadership?
