One PhD room📚 14 'hot' desks🔥Documenting the highs, the lows and all the mundane, childish, amusing and weird moments inbetween that comprise #PhDlife

Environmental impact of #Covid19 will take a while to truly grasp, but here's a snapshot of one person's non-recyclable plastics during 14 days of hotel quarantine. This is from the meals alone. #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #plasticpollution

How the hell did Jamiroquai get caught up in this Capitol Hill mess?

[Youngha Chang @YounghaChang]

Came to the office six months after the lockdown and found the two bananas* I left – sorry – on the desk.

Big fans of the doctoral researcher hot-desking movement

[Dr Alexander Ghionis @alexghionis]

Growing concerned that i'm going to have to start hot-desking with the banana plant

[Floor3PhD @Floor3PhD]

@Ryan_DBurgess You've stolen this from another person's account!

Martha Bloom wanted to connect her arts sector experience with a larger policy agenda, and look at the impact of the creative industries on regions, economies and society. Hear how this led her to choose the PhD in Technology and Innovation Management.

A #poem which has particular relevance for all #PhD students out there, especially now under #lockdown! Keep going! #phdchat #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

[Dr Alexander Ghionis @alexghionis]

Going thru scribbled notes from the last #OPCW EC chaired by @BDTHEHAGUE Amb. Belal, I found the words 'he reads poem, good move'. Turns out the #poem appears in a latter interview he gave w/ @Diplomagazine - - thought it might be nice to read it again given everything everywhere

[Dr. Joshua Moon @DrJRMoon]

The contrast of the two here is very interesting. Neither the Sunday Times article, nor the government rebuttal is overtly incorrect or false. However it reveals something which is likely to continue through to the lessons from the outbreak. (Thread)

Grow your way to sustainability #PhDChat #PhDLife

Literally blown away by how fast spaghetti grows. We had some leftover from Monday, so put it in water & sunny spot like we do with herbs and the like and it's really taken off. Learning so much in our #lockdownuk #lockdownkitchen

WMD arms control and disarmament efforts are in some rough times, interesting workshop report here on some key issue areas #phdchat

[Dr Alexander Ghionis @alexghionis]

Check out our 'Exploring the Future of WMD Compliance & Enforcement' UNIDIR workshop report, reflecting discussion on changing global context; governance & IOs; #WMD regimes, compli & enfor; +/- adv in S&T. I've a healthy beard in it too #memories

Great paper! Deploys a TIS perspective examining nuclear industry making a compelling case this industry is in decline

Crucial onward Q: why in certain countries is this decline so intensely resisted?To understand this we need to look beyond energy sector

Important to reflect on during #phdlife lockdown

1/ I’m baffled. Ideas for years dispelled as socialist fantasy becoming unavoidably obvious:

-government borrowing to invest in infrastructure and public goods
-truly socialised provision of heath, transport, housing, child and social care

Despite most passenger services being suspended, our night skies are still full of freighters. #covid19uk #lockdown

At a time when university jobs have been under threat and we have successive waves of strikes, could @SussexUni have dreamt up a more cynical move?

[Dr Alexander Ghionis @alexghionis]

I've been hearing rumours that @SussexUni has new financial guidelines to save £, disseminated under cover of #covid19UK, planning for sweeping role reviews of temp/ casual staff thru contract non-renewal/termination. I laughed: they wouldn't be so cold! Would they? @sussexucu

[Adrian Smith @smithadrianpaul]

My university is choosing business over compassion. @SussexUni proposes to sack its contract workers, which includes teaching, research, services, and maintenance. There is a petition if you'd like to register your opposition: https://t.co/guMa8Ca6VQ

[Melina Galdos @melina_galdos]

Women in #LatinAmerica face systemic violence on a daily basis. Here at Sussex, we, Latin women, feel the struggle of our sisters across the region, so we raised our voice to channel the demands to end violence against women in all its forms. #NiUnaMenos #UnVioladorEnTuCamino

Day 1 of self isolation. Catsi (cat, pictured) is really happy about self isolation and has so far had lunch, late lunch, mid afternoon treat, 5's, and is now ready for his aperitif. I, on the other hand, have done nothing. #phdchat #wfh #cat
