Fascinating research on the lived experiences of and advice from PhD moms. Impressive to make qualitative analysis when n = 998! doi.org/10.1080/0729... #PhDLife #PhDMom

👋 Hi. I’m new here. After two years without a Twitter account, looking for a new social media home. Missing my academic community. #impsci #publichealth #phdmom

I feel PhD lonely today. Any other parents working away on a Sunday afternoon? My flat looks like it has been ransacked, but I have huge deadlines, and I am torn between being a good mum with a nice place for the kids to live and being a good PhD student.

I can’t do too much that requires serious brain power but I can make pretty slides and format a syllabus/organize my class drive. At least for an hour and then maybe a nap and back to watching a movie with my kids. #phdmom #sciencemom #disabledinSTEM #immunosuppressantlife

I’m sitting through an advanced statistics lecture, and I swear the info is going in one ear and out the other. Not sure what to do to make it stick. My brain is cherry-picking what it understands. #neurodivergent #phdlife #phdmom #study #studying #academia

Having a day where I keep getting stuck in a rut. Like a record skipping.

Solution: bike ride home along the beach. And picnic in park with my kid.

STAT!!

Hey twitter, am looking for family calendar solutions that work for people... especially if:
