Not every day in a PhD is as productive as we expect - and that’s okay.
A page read, a few notes, opening your document again…these small steps matter more than we think. They keep us going.

PhD life lately: long nights in the lab, chasing results that refuse to come easy. It’s 12:15 AM and finally time to leave, just to be back again early morning.
Same routine, over and over. Days blur, weeks feel like they only have two days.
But the research goes on.

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?

Screenshot picture of a pop up box on a webpage that says: Confirmation: Your thesis has been submitted for processing by the Graduate Research Team.
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

📰📖 PHD UPDATE! 📖📰
My research has done what research does and taken on a life of its own! I have responded accordingly, and made some changes. Read all about it!

It has been about learning how to prioritize, adapt, review, adjust, and keep going, even when things don't go as planned.
It's not easy, but it's part of the process.3/3

Ugh. My life needs a miracle.
We really have to put up with so much struggle just for the “luxury” of learning. #PhDLife
Also, treat grad students to coffee/lunch/dinner if you can! Attending a conference = added expenses. Plus, you get to hang out with amazing people! #PhDLife #SciComm @comscicon.bsky.social
Trying to write the general discussion to my dissertation, after being wildly successful (👀) on the first draft of my general introduction. It's a humbling experience, I must say.

For decades, impact in science has been reduced to a number.
But the founder of @altmetric.com, Dr. Euan Adie (@mrstew.bsky.social), explains that impact is far more subjective than we like to admit.

Doing a PhD is a commitment. In China, it demands discipline, long days, and relentless nights of research. Staying consistent, focused, and pushing boundaries every day. Currently working on my research paper.

Researcher bias can shape your study through sampling, interpretation, and reporting. Reflexive notes, triangulation, peer debriefing, and audit trails help make your analysis more transparent.

SOCK: a significant and original contribution to knowledge. This often worries #PhD students because how significant is significant? To get an idea, have a look at some theses, and try to work out what is the contribution. You don't have to win the Nobel prize. #PhDchat #PhDlife

why do i only remember i hate latex when i'm already in the middle of it
