Why do paper writing feels like taking time off for academics? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ #academiclife #academicwriting

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

I don’t normally share my achievements publicly but I’m really proud of this one, specially in such a challenging year: returning to campus after a pandemic,15 months of maternity leave, and learning how to juggle motherhood and academia🙏

One of my amazing MSc students at @UniofGreenwich is conducting a qualitative study about treatment processes across different modalities. Are there any CBT or Psychodynamic therapists out there who would like to talk about their experience?@UKCP_Updates @BACP @BAPPSUK1 @BABCP

Coffee stains on paper exams… I guess that’s acceptable, right? #AcademicTwitter #tistheseasontobemarking #lecturerlife

Teaching my baby girl how to make health related informed decisions 😂 @NHSuk #vaccination #poliobooster

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

For parents with little children @UniofGreenwich are there any recommendations for good nurseries near the Greenwich campus? As staff, do we have any support/resources from the university in terms of childcare? Thanks! :)

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

@thepsychprof007 Can’t believe they said that! :| I’m 40 next year and I know many women over 40 who just had children, and..partners are overrated really, we end up doing everything anyway (there, I said it!) I love my partner, but if I knew what I know now, I wouldn’t have waited to find one :)

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

Non-believers et al., I truly hope you, your partner and your child don’t get infected. Taking care of a small baby (having mild symptoms) with both me and her daddy experiencing (not so mild ones, such as fever), it’s being the hardest experience of my life. #GetVaccinatedNow

@KingsCollegeNHS @KingsMaternity I had my baby in June 21, will be forever grateful! ❤️

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

@MariaKordowicz @Therapists_C This is interesting! I take notes during the week if something happens so that I can bring it up in the next session but I never took notes during the session itself, never even crossed my mind, but it’s a good idea!

How to upcycle high impact journal papers (literally in paper) into a high impact parenting resource.

Horror/gothic-ish literature for mom and baby daughter! 2 months old isn’t too soon for this, is it? (Hope I’m not told off by my fellow academic human development expert colleagues!)❤️ ⁦@spookypurcell⁩

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

Hi everyone! We’re inviting health professionals delivering substance use treatment for a qualitative study about therapeutic relationships. If you’re interested/know anyone who might be, please PM me (oh, and we’re also offering Amazon vouchers to all participants!). Pls share!

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

@KingsMaternity Thanks for the info! Does this include regular appointments with community midwifery teams? Or are those supposed to be for women alone by default? Thanks

[Paula Gomes Alves @PaulaGAlves]

@DrSofiaStathi Welcome back @DrSofiaStathi! I’m leaving in 2 months time so I’ll follow this for when I return, though for now I’m in the opposite trajectory - I must get ready to slow down and disconnect from work! :)
