@katiedigc I love poutine! Obvi :) #survivephd15 (yes, I'm behind in the course!)
#survivephd15 I don't think we need to be friends with our colleagues, but collegiality is nice! Informal, inclusive gatherings r important
#survivephd15 After a while, I dropped off, and I think that had negative consequences for my work. I found community elsewhere in my city.
#survivephd15 I did feel engaged with fellow students on a social level... as long as I was willing to commit to participating or leading
#survivephd15 Now that I'm done, I still host in-person meetups - "Versatile PhD" pub nights in Toronto each month. Free, open to all.
#survivephd15 One year I put together a newsletter for us! It was fantastic. Such a great community building tool. LOTS of work though
#survivephd15 I got involved in grad assoc in my dept from beginning of my PhD, made a point of going to regular pub nights.
#survivephd15 Watching week 5 video now and Yes! Someone does have to take leadership on social activities. Often it was me.
I'm behind #survivePhD15 but watching video wrap-up for week 3 now. Will catch up this week :)

Socializing drains a lot of energy for introverts, need more time after to recover

No longer having an office = dropping in on friends w/ offices... at lunchtime... to use their microwave

Companion = sharing bread
Share a meal or a snack with people = research community
