In doing research you need to get used to feeling lost occasionally. If you knew the answer before you started we wouldn't call it research. Sometimes you have to go down a dead-end to work that it is a dead-end. That's research. #PhDchat #ECRchat #phDforum #postdoc

How to write your Ph.D. thesis
Science Careers asked recent graduates and current students to reflect on their experiences and what did—and didn't—work for them. #PhDChat #PhDAdvice https://bit.ly/4bGY4rv
With hindsight, I wonder if they were trying to soften the blow that I wouldn't be awarded the PhD...
I never received any apologies for insufficient support and examination framework which led to me failing, however.
Which would've been way better.

Between submitting my #PhD thesis correction and learning it'd be failed, I had a lunch with my supervisors.
Durign which, they both said academia had changed so much that if they were starting out again they wouldn't stay.

Tech Advice
Always remember to carry your talk on a memory stick, in case the tech options in the room are limited.
Sometimes the cables are broken, or there is no wifi, or your laptop dies etc - have a back up.

I wanna author a paper on sleep in insects and call it 'Cicadian Rhythms'.

Jessie is formatting her document (again).
She thinks she is writing.
Jessie is wrong.
She is procrastinating.

This is Rover. Rover is Dave’s loyal companion. He sits beside Dave’s desk when Dave is writing.
Sometimes Dave talks to Rover and Rover seems interested.
Rover is just hoping Dave will say the word Walk.

🧪 No email signature? Many professionals overlook this simple yet highly important detail, and it quietly undermines their credibility. In my work with life scientists and other professionals, I see it constantly. A professional email signature matters more than you think. 🧬🔬 #SciComm #PhDChat
Juliet Turner completed a PhD focused on cooperative insects and how they distribute labour. A celebratory post went viral for all the wrong reasons. Here’s how she managed the backlash and used the attention to promote her research: spklr.io/63326Eyi0r

*Storytelling*
Storytelling is powerful. Its our oldest form of communication. Arguably, there have been stories as long as there have been humans. If you package your research comms as storytelling, you get a more engaged audience that wants to listen and will remember your key message

When you're developing your research proposal it's wise to think about a Plan B. Things always go wrong in research. What will you do when things don't go to Plan A. Discuss with your supervisor. #PhDchat #PhDforum #postdoc #ECRchat
If you are in your final year of your #PhD then it would be good to have a completion plan.
Work out your end date and work back from there. Download free completion planner templates here: bit.ly/3PiH52Y #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc
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?

So, Friday I submitted my PhD Thesis! It is something I have been working on (on and off) for almost twelve years. What a relief to hand it in. Just have to wait about three months for marking. #PhDLife #PhDchat

Do you think methodology deserves better preservation in scientific literature? Do you actually trace back to original protocols rather than citing the conclusion from modern papers or reviews?
