@phd_with_aischa @PhDVoice I was in my 3rd year before I earnestly started on my first paper. The first 2 years were focused on classes and the studies I did during those times were big flops. It all came together eventually. It just takes time.

@tessuheagle I find it hard to be excited because that means its time to start all over and finish writing the next one.

[Adrian Moore, PhD @AdrianP_Moore]

This work was done as part of my postdoc @umn and was supported by funding from @SyngentaUS and @umncbs

ICYMI! I have a new paper out in Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems featuring a database of North American freshwater mussel life history traits. I hope it can be a useful resource. Check it out here: https://t.co/oX8NqGHz8q

[Adrian Moore, PhD @AdrianP_Moore]

The full database can also be accessed at: https://t.co/NM45uJ07VD in several formats. This is a great resource if you're looking to find life history data on a particular FWM species

Currently working on a R&R and one of my reviewers took time to point out the spots that were well-done, not just the places that needed work. It's making the slog of revising way more enjoyable. Let's normalize this practice. #AcademicWriting @AcademicChatter

There's nothing like reviewing the zoom transcript for a talk you're working on to *REALLY* make you wonder whether all that speech therapy you did as a kid was worth the time and effort. #AcademicTwitter #doIreallytalklikethat #onlineaccessibility

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the second p in spp. stands for "plurimae", which is why sp. is singular and spp. is plural. 😅

[Adrian Moore, PhD @AdrianP_Moore]

Happy @FMCS_Mollusk 2021 meeting. Looking forward to hearing all the interesting talks this week. Check out my talk under the Life History session to learn about Dynamic Energy Budget modeling for risk assessment in freshwater mussels. https://t.co/mgsa16X7gS

@MacaRglez @PhDVoice @UDelaware @GradSkoolStrugs @PhD_Balance @AcademicChatter Living expenses in GA were pretty cheap. My first year I paid about $500 in rent for a studio. I had to take a roommate after that because it was too expensive to live by yourself.

If you have writing you need to make progress on and your institution is a NCFDD member, I highly suggest this program. It's been really effective for me.

@MacaRglez @PhDVoice @UDelaware @GradSkoolStrugs @PhD_Balance @AcademicChatter At the University of Georgia, I believe we paid around 3k a year while being paid around 21k (3 years ago) and that didn't include access to the gym...

[Adrian Moore, PhD @AdrianP_Moore]

@Lyndsie_Wszola I invested in a proper chair and desk, which was quite expensive. I also make it a point to stretch at lunch and when I stop working in the evening

As a person who has felt excluded from field work because of my gender, everyone should definitely think about the approach they take when recruiting people for field work. I felt excluded then and I feel under-qualified for field work-based jobs now. #WomenInSTEM
