I truly enjoyed the two intensive workshops days with this group of dedicated and timely supervisors. They are a huge resource for @IMPRSCoNI.
Thanks to the Institute for the invitation and the professional hosting of the event.

Over the past two days, @GitteWH, experienced scientist and trainer from @AarhusUni, shared her knowledge of good supervision practices with scientists involved in the supervision of IMPRS doctoral candidates. Thanks for the inspiring workshop and all participants for their time!

Thanks @SSchulreich for your positive feedback. It was a great pleassure to meet you at the workshop. A community of open and honest sharing of experiences was established in just two days. It was magic!

[Dr. Stefan Schulreich @SSchulreich]

Very much enjoyed a two-day workshop on doctoral supervision by the fabulous @GitteWH. Thank you very much for this enriching experience! Thanks also to @univienna for making this possible (this is a good investment)! ❤️👏🏻

I'm deeply impressed by @ResEngland's decision to support an innovative, timely, nation wide, and ambitious project about continuous professional development of doctoral supervision.
And I'm proud to be part of the project team!

[Research England @ResEngland]

We're proud to fund this £4.6-million project that will transform doctoral supervision, with the support of more than 100 supervisors from major industries including @GSK, @Unilever, the BBC, and @TheRSC 👇 https://t.co/k8RYNRi0Gb

@ALogins @CovaFlorian I have experienced the exact same thing today , and I decided to inform the editors - to make them involved in the decision about whether or not to include my review. I sent the editors all my comments on the manuscript that I reviewed the first time (for another journal).

[Arturs Logins @ALogins]

@CovaFlorian thanks. Yeah, I think you're right.

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

And I have sent you the list on mail 😄

[Lars E.F. Johannessen @LarsJohannessen]

@GitteWH Thank you very much! I sent you an email now 😊

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

Just send me an e-mail and I will share the annotated litterature list with you. Mail: [email protected]
I usually share the list with PhD supervisors on my courses. I hold a number of courses for PhD supervisors around Europe and in particular at scandinavian universities.

[Lars E.F. Johannessen @LarsJohannessen]

@VanKB42 @GitteWH Brilliant, thanks!

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

Hi Lars
I have written articles about PhD supervision but my recent book on supervision is on Masters thesis supervision and it is written in Danish 🤷
However, I’m happy to share a annotated litterature list with you about recommendable booke on PhD supervision.

[Lars E.F. Johannessen @LarsJohannessen]

@VanKB42 @GitteWH Brilliant, thanks!

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

See this INTERESTING new study. It shows that having a productive, mid-career, low-experienced female supervisor (who benefits from a national grant) is positively associated with PhD student productivity.:

@AnneBind Endelig kan det være at jeg har misforstået noget. Min kritik er ikke en kritik af studiets ærinde. Ærindet er både rettidigt og vigtigt.

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

@AnneBind ... jeg mangler lidt mere transparens her. Endelig er der vel ikke 152 ph.d.-skoler i DK som forfatterne skriver. Mener de ikke ph.d.-programmer? Jeg ved at jeg fedter rundt i en detalje, og det er muligt at den engelske sprogbrug spænder ben.

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

@AnneBind Helt enig @AnneBind i de manglende belæg og analyser. Jeg har nogle tal om KA specialer til at supplere analysen med: https://t.co/fv00eTO2FZ
Min konklusion er at reduktioner i uddannelsestid sjældent sker uden omkostninger og uden fald i kvalitet.

@M_B_Petersen Tak for meget nyttige refleksioner. Jeg har nogle tal om KA specialer til at supplere analysen med: https://t.co/dVfNAtme2j

@tinaareskoug @University_West @CSWahlin @DahlMichelsenT @kayguccione In a waiting room, not at work, but isn’t nice when waiting rooms are also decorated and painted in warm colors? 🧡

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

@Lis_MontesDeOca @RieThomsen What a great iniriative 👏👏

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

1. Does this opportunity fit my #research #agenda and #identity?
2. Does it ‘spark joy’?
3. Do I have time to do a good job without sacrificing existing commitments?
4. Does the opportunity leave space for my #personal #life?
5. Am I uniquely #qualified to fill this need?

[Gitte Wichmann-Hansen @GitteWH]

Sometimes it is best to say “no” to benefit your #academic #career.
Does it sound counter-intuitive? Probably, but inspiring and #productive .

See this great article in Nature: https://t.co/kfBi5jJURi

- They used #gamification as a #motivational #strategy (saying no earned a point in their quest to reach 100 points 😊)
- They practiced saying no to larger tasks, not just the small tasks
- They developed a set of #guiding questions when saying yes or no:
