@rfeers Just sent this straight to our data science students who are learning linear regression, excellent cheat sheet! Thanks!

Honestly being a PhD student at a conference can feel like this sometimes

[Dr.Cristina Mogro-Wilson @cmogrowilson1]

As I advise all my PhD students if you only have your academic life every failure in academia will feel like the end of your world. It is not. You are more than your CV. Find joy and happiness in other activities, in your family, friends. #AcademicChatter #phdlife

[Jordan Deakin @JordanTDeakin]

@KSchaferPhD So, so relatable! Had this ever since undergrad. “If I get my BSc… if I get my MSc… if I submit my PhD thesis on time…”. I’ve just submitted my thesis (on time!) and now it’s “if I just get this published…”. 😭

When somebody asks if you’ve figured out what you want to do after your PhD

[Jordan Deakin @JordanTDeakin]

@sciliz It‘s brilliant that you are making a stand and I very much appreciate it! I have always been a little panic-prone so the negativity worries me. I genuinely love research and maybe don’t want to be faced with the prospect that my dream isn’t what it is cracked up to be :(

[Jordan Deakin @JordanTDeakin]

@sciliz The system is clearly broken. But as a 1st gen student with low-self esteem, the negativity has caused me to have a full-blown panic attack more than once. It would be encouraging to read about the positives. I don’t think talking about good and bad need be mutually exclusive.

[Justin Garson @justin_garson]

A friend of mine told me that one of his first academic talks was severely criticized by a senior academic, and that night he went back to his hotel and considered killing himself. And I wondered how many people this happens to.

[SP Arun @sparuniisc]

In a new study, out in Attention Perception and Psychophysics, @ananyapassi and I have cool insights to share about a fascinating cross-modal association called the Bouba-Kiki effect. Consider the shapes below: which shape would you call a Bouba? 1/n https://t.co/jt0iwYW2ky

Try these small acts of self respect for 30 days and you'll start 2023 with a completely different mentality.

@melnickjeffrey1 …often my supervisor will randomly talk about something non-work related for a short while. Not sure if he does this on purpose but definitely works and gets me out of the despair pit. Also once recommended doing a breathing exercise which was very sweet and appreciated!

[Jordan Deakin @JordanTDeakin]

@melnickjeffrey1 Crier perspective: If it is down to a specific event, then I appreciate a “I am here if you want to talk about it”. If it is due to poor mental health/imposter syndrome/stress/“I want to quit, I feel like crap”…

[Jordan Deakin @JordanTDeakin]

@PhdandBeyond_au @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice My math skills still leave a hell of a lot to be desired haha, but definitely better than a few years ago 😅
