@LightHouseDann @FGwashure @ali_naka I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic

@Mourning_starz @Matt_Pinner No fat yes. Tattoos not common in women but it was a thing. But piercings and blue hair that’s been a thing in the 80s

@PhD_Genie 32, I can relate 😭

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

@PhDtoProf Yes, that is true. I have come across a paper that had fake reference, or even the whole paper being written by AI. I often look at the paper others are citing, not only to verify but because there can be an information I can use.

@Amit_Kumar_PhD I gave up using R, still love to learn it properly but I started using Prism GraphPad. It’s much easier to create graphs.

@HB_Tilley @HKUniversity @TigerTopsNepal Congratulations!

@biopri25 @TheStrugglingS4 Same at my university. Need to publish one first author paper

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

@DrMarissaKate It’s bad but what’s worse is that if you on stipend, at least at my university. You are not even allowed to work more than 9 hours a week as you are expected to focus on your PhD Monday-Friday. Even without stipend you are on restricted hours by the university.

@lu_casgimenez Congrats and Welcome to Griffith. It’s a great uni, and It’s sure you’ll enjoy your PhD journey. Will you be fully based in SeaWorld labs or G51 as well? If so, say hi when you around. The people here are great and super helpful!

I’m happy to share that I received an “Griffith Award for Academic Excellence” I had a rough start during my bachelor, and I’m glad managed to turned it around. https://t.co/Mq9JKfav8X

@wojeczonak @Rob_Stubbs1 @njoybetz You can just go to any journal and request the paper using university email address as all students/staff have one

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

@Griffith_Intl @StudyGoldCoast @GU_Sciences Thank you so much. I wouldn’t have done it without you 💙

Honours update!!!

2 weeks ago, I submitted my honours thesis, and this week I had my presentation (Honours defense). This presentation was the last bit of an assignment that needed to be done in my honours. With that my honours is completed.

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

@StudyGoldCoast @GU_Sciences @Griffith_Intl Thank you!!

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

@heidipiper @StudyGoldCoast @GU_Sciences @Griffith_Intl Thank you so much!!

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

Always happy to share my experience as an international student.

[Nikol | Marine Biologist @FromTwoWorlds]

In the past few months of my honours, I had to change my method multiple time, and now I have finally started. On the other side, as my thesis is due in 2 months I don't have time to do all my experiments and that’s why my project will now focus on an effect of MPs in algae.
