@CalumFoxGeochem When I had this it was because the 2 reviewers had opposing opinions so I think it took the editor longer to come up with a final response. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

You will go through cycles of hating your subject and thinking you are the dumbest person on Earth, to split-second moments of clarity and love for your subject. The ratio between these extremes dictates whether you stay in academia or not…

Is it just me, or are PhDs shrouded in a lot of mystery and angst, especially here on Twittersphere?

Here are some things I have learnt from writing up my PhD🧵:

If you are in the zone DO NOT LEAVE THE ZONE. It has taken you 4 hours of procrastination to get to this elusive place, you will not be able to get back in the right headspace once you’re back from that dog walk/call with your mum/quick Twitter scroll.

@heatylouise You're describing my entire writing up process 😅

[Libby Robinson @PaleoLibby]

Just spent the morning Google mapping and exploring Iran. Mind blowing structures, strata, colours... Geology in arid landscapes = 😍

[Mark Tingay @CriticalStress_]

Spectacular fault propagation folds in Iran (image is ~3km across, North is to the right).

These are just so good - I’d better do mini-thread on them!
