The idea of packing to come back to -27°C tomorrow after a month in Ontario is really just not it rn.

No better way to start my week than being woken up at 6:30 to the fire alarm and sitting in my freezing car while the fire dept. investigates! I’m so tired!

[Maegan Trottier @MaeganTrottier]

I severely underestimated how difficult it would be to restart my MSc while working full time. Any tips and tricks on how to balance a 9-5 and keep on track for a one-year thesis completion without burning out (again) would be very appreciated! #AcademicChatter #academictwitter

@melissarschick Oh amazing! DMing you right now, thank you!

Does anyone in my network have full text access to this paper? My institution unfortunately isn’t subscribed to the publisher and I’ve had no luck finding current contact information for the authors. 😢

TYIA!

@PWGTennant Credit card should do you fine! When I lived in Ontario as recently as 5 years ago, I never carried cash and never had an issue. Option to tip will be presented on the debit/credit machine when you pay out your bill. :)

A fun tool I put together for @EvalAcademy to help you decide what chart to use to best display your data. Would love to hear your feedback!

Almost four whole years after moving to this province I finally got my AB drivers license in the mail, so I think I’m officially an Albertan now? Yeehaw! 🤠

It’s crazy how connected and human you can realize we all are when you just sit and listen to someone for ten minutes. Let’s all remember to be kind.

Who knew writing could be so cathartic? Apparently everyone but I’m late to the game and traumatized so this is news to me.

I used to think academia was my calling -- the thing that I was meant to do. But I am increasingly thinking that my calling is going to the beach and I am meant to relax and enjoy a fruity little beverage in the sunshine.

Just when I start feeling like the most mediocre person on my planet, my RMT saves the day by telling me the knots in my upper back are the most prominent she’s ever seen. 😌
