#Gaslighting and #bullying have no place in #academia.

Truth 💣 for all #universities: Either create more #academic roles, or don't graduate as many #PhDs annually.

Mentors are not necessarily older than you, at a later career stage than you, or senior to you.

A mentor is someone who can provide guidance and help you walk the path, I think.

You can't magically know everything right away. Skill development takes time, practice, experience and/or receiving #mentorship.

It's disappointing that so many people in #academia don't know this 🤦‍♀️

Dear people who are “sick of hearing about the toxic culture within academia”:

Ignoring the problems fixes nothing, but breaking the silence around them could.

I don't know which #manager needs to hear this, but treating your team unequally creates resentment, lessens #productivity, and diminishes wellbeing.

@thoughtsofaphd Maybe you should graduate with a Masters...

And, if you accidentally ask a female faculty member if they are a student, please do not follow that with “well, you should be flattered that you look so young.” Implicit bias should not be construed as a compliment.

“Invite ECAs as guest speakers…and offer us career-building positions, such as those on editorial boards. Former supervisors, check in on previous doctoral students and offer to collaborate.”
