Wonder if I resubmitted my #PhD thesis to another uni if itd be approved or at least if I'd be given an appropriate framework to successfully resubmit it?

Not my former department offering 4 year #PhD/lectureship 💀
Where was this when I was applying?
Hope Tue candidate gets fully supported and doesn't fall through the cracks like I did.

Who'd spend 10.5 years on a #PhD to walk away with an #MPhil?
That'd be identity destroying.
Couldn't be me 👀

Academics who don't want to teach baffle me
I mean, what do you think the 'academy' is for?
Research is also important, but the aim is to develop the future generations to do so.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My former uni, which allowed my #PhD to be downgraded at the last hurdle, has the gaul to ask for donations.
You're rich af. If you can't operate without donations, try axing middle and higher management.
Get fucked.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” It is attributed to George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman.
A reminder for everyone currently battling.

Academia will give you examples of how to best do and present research, only to criticise and fail you for then doing so.
Ti's like there's an unspoken leap you have to take to succeed.

What do you think you'd feel if your #PhD was downgraded at the last hurdle to an #MPhil?
Specially after providing a record of how you met your revision criteria and having had your supervisor look at all your revisions.
Le sigh.

TIL that the assumption of Homoscedasticity applies to residuals and not data in linear models.
I think we do learners a disservice in #Statistics #Education by simplifying concepts to the point that they're wrong.
Very frustrating.

Sorting through my various docs today and found stuff pertaining to my #PhD.
Those were worthwhile...
I could be a head of department by now, had I gone straight into #Teaching

Didn't get the job. A little disappointed, I'd never felt more suitable for a position before and was over qualified compared to the candidate criteria.
Hoping for some useful feedback to take me forward.
We persevere.

Interveiw for a "Variable Lecturer" job today.
Still don't quite know what that means, and they give no expected hours in the advert.
I'm more than an ideal fit, however. So I'm quite confident I'll get an offer.
Still nervous.

Academia ve like "we know good work when we see it, but we won't help you get there".
How tf are people supposed to cross that boundary then?

Been thinking lately about how I've received more active support and affirmations from a different department in the last 2 years than I ever got in 10 years from the department I did my #PhD in.
No advocacy after I was failed, just sorrys.

#Stats friends:
Why do the calculation of p values and CIs assume normality of residuals?

I just reallise that my supervisor never even asked about my graduation.
Not whether i was going or not, if I wanted them to come etc.
So that's something.

It's about a year since I 'graduated' with a degree I didn't study for, after my #PhD was downgraded to an MPhil.
But a friend is graduating today and I'm so very happy for her. She had leaves and extensions, and despite life happening, she's done it!

Imagine hosting this event with no #PhD students present...
Maybe it's to mask the awful environment and support you'll receive...

How come those with the permenant jobs have no repucussions for doing them badly?
Whilst those whose lives are dysrupted just have to suck it up and move on?

There's been so many horror stories of #PhD student maltreatment.
Lack of support to finish/pass, abusive relationships leading to restarting with new supervisors, having to remove supervisors for lack of input.

The losing a #PhD trauma is so recurring.
I want to be excited and interested in friends' work, but I just feel a deep anguish whenever they talk about their research or their theses.

All I got from my department was a "I'm sorry about the news", and that as when I just happened to pass one person in the street.
No advocates, nobody to fight to see where things went wrong.

Feeling some mixed-emotions.
It's almost a year since I 'graduated' with an MPhil after studying 10.5 years for a #PhD.
Friends, colleagues, online strangers were outraged and deeply sympathetic.

#Maths nerds:
Is a helix a simple spiral, like a line is a lil ear curve, or are they mathematically different objects?
