"Were you able to start a postdoc before officially graduating with your PhD (i.e. after defending and fulfilling all requirements but before you got your diploma from the university)?"
DM: I’m planning to submit my PhD thesis in 3 months. I have just received reviewers’ comments on one of the papers of my PhD and it is very discouraging.. it made me feel not good enough and I doubted my ability to pass the viva. Am I panicking or do I have a rational fear?
Fellow PhD students: What hobbies did you pick up during your PhD time to avoid a burnout? Looking for some recommendations! #phdlife#phdchat#AcademicTwitter 😌
What if I just, don't have a PowerPoint in my next conference presentation? What if I just smiled charmingly and did my talk? I am finding PowerPoints increasingly pointless in digital conferences and my paper is only ten minutes........ #phdchat

I'm a PhD candidate on parental leave. My advisor is adamant on me joining meetings (remotely) to work on a paper. It's unmanageable & preventing me from enjoying the first months of my child's life. How can I explain that I should not be expected to do this?
@RRPcreativity@AcademicChatter I ask students to refer to me by my name and have no interest in them calling me Dr. I find the title an unnecessary barrier which reinforces a hierarchy between us. Students are better able to express their ideas & Q’s when they’re presenting them to a person rather than a rank!
Swedish is my native language. Yet I am doing my PhD in the US, I have troubles getting my writing up to part. I have been here for 4 years now but my English writing seems to not be improving. Any suggestions? #AcademicChatter#AcademicTwitter#PhDVoice#phdchat
