My dad has spent the last 4 years getting his PhD while working two full time jobs. He did it because he didn’t want me to be the only Doctor in the family. At the age of 65, world, meet Dr. Emmanuel Uloko 😭 my father, my biggest cheerleader and who I compare every man to.

By a roll of the dice I'm a Colombian who happened to be born in Australia 🇨🇴🇦🇺

If you're a Colombian doctoral student, I'll proofread your next biomedical/psych paper for free. I'm willing to do one of these a month, I don't expect (or deserve) co-authorship for this. DM me.

@ZJAyres @krwedemeyer Yes, sadly our team doesn't exist anymore, but I'll (very sporadically) still retweet a few things.

'The dissertation tells only part of the story between those two moments—the excitement of entering academia and the need to leave it ... People want futures they can be a part of and experience, not just ones to think about and fight for.' @chartgerink https://t.co/gSqxUPlGkd

Suggested solution was to "love what you do" so that extra hours are no longer a problem/ something you enjoy and want to do

3 things academics never regret:

- Conference attendance based on location
- Writing (even if it’s shit, it’s better than trying to edit a blank page)
- Quality coffee/tea/caffeine over subpar watery garbage

Decide to live well, scholarly friends.

@SusannaLHarris So sorry you have to deal with this. I can't even imagine how much energy this takes..

@coffee_and_pi @SusannaLHarris Fremdschämen. (Of course there's a German word for that)

Its nearly been a year since I finished my PhD and joined the world of Business Intelligence. Been an amazing journey; I love every day.

I genuinely think it's a great career path post-PhD that many in academia aren't aware of. I'm trying to write a blogpost about it. #phdchat

The unthinkable has happened: I have a bit of budget left to spend at the end my PhD. So: What good books on stats, methods, psych, meta-science do you recommend?

[Lisa Matthias @l_matthia]

I had to do a lit review this week & it was awesome to find so many green OA paper versions (thanks, @unpaywall), but many were posted on ResearchGate or Academia edu when MUCH better options exist (@socarxiv @MediArxiv @humcommons). #openaccess #openscience #polisci #phdchat

This is the reality of trying to access academia with a disability or health condition 😠👇

Hi! I want to engage with this community, but since I have advisors and colleagues on Twitter I prefer to remain anonymous... could you please post this for me? "Hi all, 4th/5th year here... suffering from severe lack of motivation and disinterest in my field of study .../1
