The scarcity of academic jobs isn’t natural or normal - it’s manufactured through funding decisions #academictwitter

Shoutout to every early career scholar who has not heard back from any of their job/post-docs they’ve applied to - we are with you and you are not alone dealing with the excruciating silence and very cruel process #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #gradlife

@FebruaryFaith @AcademicChatter First thing I do is to read through it and then put some distance between you and the paper. I give myself 2-3 weeks usually but if you don’t have time, just pause and do something else for an hour or so. That distance makes all the difference

If you're struggling to meet your writing deadlines or want some focussed writing sessions to complete your paper, I recommend joining this Shut Up & Write session. @AcademicChatter @TweeterAcademic @PhDVoice @ThePhDPlace @Researchcarreer #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

I’m pretty sure the biggest brain term I’ve heard is “anti-disciplinary” among humanities folks haha

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]

Looking for folks who can either help PhDs transition from academia to a career in computer science, or have successfully made a career change to industry and have some helpful tips!

It’s a good idea to have a “What’s the catch” section in form of “Impact and Significance” in methodological papers 📉📈📝 @AcademicChatter @TweeterAcademic #phdchat #phdvoice

@AcaGrumbles So many stories of professors just starting their lecture without hitting record because they’re just so used to starting the talk. Happened to me too but not with a lecture

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]

@JaishriJuice After a year, barely a chapter written

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]

@ziadachkar This is so important!! When I was in grad school ABD, this was the only way I could feel like I’m actually in a PhD program

@letisha122 It’s a tough lesson to learn for sure, but we’ve got to be okay killing our darlings

@JenkinsZoeM I’m in this tweet 2x

@lauraannehind It’s taxing but you could see it as practice for how to research/master a subject enough to teach to others who don’t know it yet

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]

@wenonah_mv And the unfortunate thing is that there is little return/recognition for the efforts of checking off those boxes

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]

This level of transparency is so needed in academia #phdlife

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]

@CCourage_ One of the best lessons to learn in any workplace setting!

[AcademicTweeter @TweeterAcademic]
