@SoilandGas Absolutely!! I’ve too found writing in big but structured chunks with one big goal like this helps me immensely! For years I tried to write in fragmented time frames in vain :\

@FromPhDtoLife Feel like I should thank Dunkin for the copious amounts of coffee I have been consuming 🫡

[Neha Chatterjee @NehaC2359]

@ThePhDPlace I was quite excited to study soils! Was making a context switch from my MS academic background and it was exciting to do something new for a few years.

@scholarcy @MushtaqBilalPhD Makes sense. Thank you!

[Neha Chatterjee @NehaC2359]

@MushtaqBilalPhD I didn’t see the Tables and Figures explanation feature. Is it excluded from the trial version?

@parulia Aappakadai, Pleasanton & Saravana Bhavan, Fremont. Tirupathi Bhimas, Milpitas - sometimes :/

But awaiting results :)

@Melterialsgal I recently went through this phase and can attest - it is extremely nerve wrecking and ‘anxiety inducing’!

To be fair to the manuscript decision scenario - I feel the anticipation anxiety is mellowed since it takes a bit longer and meanwhile we are busy with other projects.

Should PLFA or NLFA C16w5 be used to assess arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomass? A recent opinion authored by a number of colleagues previously involved in development and use of fatty acid biomarker assays for roots and soils is now online at https://t.co/uXXioDIfzt

@SoilandGas They are beautiful. Is the second one Amanita?

[Neha Chatterjee @NehaC2359]

@isakoditomassi Haha- true. Or having to avoid corn leaf blade bruises!

Great that you are having fun!!!

Making figures for publications is an often neglected stage - and in many situations we resolve to simplest figures made in PowerPoint etc. Aa a #science_designer I'm often commissioned to revamp such figures. Here's an example processes. #sciart #viz thread of 10

@lab_shenanigans First 2 years of PhD - paper
Post that - everything’s digital from documentation during experiments, meeting notes to ideas. Life is so much better now that I do not have to sift through 4 lab notebooks to find what was the conclusion from this one specific trial 8 months ago!

[Neha Chatterjee @NehaC2359]

@docnikitawagle Congratulations Nikita! Great culmination (or maybe a revamp now) of your vivid #phdlife IG handle.

@ZamigaKh What is the duration for capturing this?and which microscopy?

[Neha Chatterjee @NehaC2359]

@tallguyinlab I have begun backing up photos on my computer now with separate folders for field and lab analysis!

I'm recruiting Ph.D. students (Fall 2022) to work on an NSF project (https://t.co/ReyvYNEXcr) studying soil carbon across CONUS and a DOE project (https://t.co/xpuwHl85e0) studying greenhouse gas dynamics in terrestrial-aquatic interfaces. DM me for more information. Please RT!
