Does anyone talk about the resentment you get from family members when being the "first generation" to get bachelors/masters/phd 🥲

[Angel (Tiên) Nguyễn 🌸🦋 @smol_scientist]

Also if anyones hiring, I would like to apply pls

[Angel (Tiên) Nguyễn 🌸🦋 @smol_scientist]

How do people actually find jobs outside of academia after phds though?? I'm genuinely curious and desperate 🥲

Ticket checkers on British trains (ticket or no ticket) being horrible is a universal experience....

I'm doing a seminar tomorrow (tues) on my entire thesis as part of my viva prep before my mock (same day). I may have crash coursed myself for my viva 🙂🫠

Maybe it's main character syndrome and/or something else, but museums are way more fun without people in them the same time as you 😅

Officially submitted yesterday!! Thank you so much to @NicolaNadeau for your amazing support as a supervisor!!

@Ayesha_Gaye I'm in my final writing stage so I'm pretty much completely remote now and it's felt incredibly isolating and alienating 😅

Another fully funded #PhD opportunity with me @Jon_Slate and @JaneHillYork. Interested in tropical insects, climate adaptation and genomics? https://t.co/sgBpEsPSMm

Remembering that the absence of something is actually an important and can be an interesting point to discuss 🤔 #phdchat

1/? So I'm currently stuck indoors trying to write as much as possible with my impending deadline. One of the things that sorta keeps me a little sane is the window in my office. Which is a sun face window so I end up getting a lot of different things basking against. A thread:
