I passed my Confirmation of Candidature review this Friday without major changes/suggestions from advisory panel. I don't know how to take it. Any insights?

Back in my undergrad days, I used to get really itchy when TAs and invigilators gathered in one corner and chatted away in low voices. And Now, I AM that TA!

Time is a beautiful thing 😂

There are nights when I sleep feeling worthless and then there are times when I say to myself "Am I a genius or what??!! "

Yes, there are ups and downs but absolutely loving every bit of #phdlife

I love my country n I miss it immensely, but I couldn’t have left #India at a better time. I m a Researcher, a Muslim & a Hijabi, & It’s my right to be all 3!
Sick, hateful mentality of ppl who r unfortunately the decision makers of these institutes n country.

@waytoyourphd But those who might not have the means to get ‘enough’ access, don’t they deserve to learn? Just curious.

It took living away from home during a pandemic to make me appreciate the beauty of a handshake or a pat on the back or a high five…Of pure and simple warmth that comes from a human touch!

One of the most important skills in research is to link concepts (new or old) to your main question and see how they can help you find the answer.

[PhD Voice - Independently Run @PhDVoice]

Just because you’re not physically doing anything doesn’t mean you’re not working.

A PhD is just as much about figuring out what to do as it is about doing it.

So if you’ve spent all day figuring out what to do but haven’t done anything, then that’s still work.
