There is peace in selecting the right supervisors for your research. That peace translate to better mental and emotional health. I was not fortunate, but it’s almost over thou.

Today, we add two more medical doctors to the house records. Congratulations to Dr. @karkarnaumar and Dr. Sufiyan.

[Yusuf Mustapha ♿ @Yusuf_Karkarna]

Sponsoring a grown a**men and women for a BSc, MSc, MBBS and PhD is not an easy task and not everyone can do it. You have created five doctors and counting. Happy Father’s Day to you!

Also, Happy Father’s Day to all the parents out there.

#FathersDay.

Right when we are feeling at home, the home was taking away from us. Later, they’ll say we listen to your requests.

Here is a throwback to when @CollenLucia and I were using all brain cells to make our research make sense. When we were actually PhD students, now 🤷🏽‍♂️.

@Puiyin @PhD_Genie She’s patiently waiting for you to write, so she can help you proofread the work.

Time to reflect, before the year ends.

✅ Get confirm (PhD)
✅ Start a GTA role (now an assistant lecturer).
☑️ Still working on that.
✅ Start and complete data collection
✅ Attend and present at a conference or seminar.
Bonus:
✅ Finished transcribing of data collected.

Have you ever had an audio you’re transcribing and you don’t want the transcribing to end because of the story? Even thou you’ve listen to the story over and over. is it just me?

Anyways, this is my weekend thus far. One down, ten to go.

“Why do modern societies see the need to categorize people as 'normals' and 'deviants'? Why and how is disability negatively valued? In which ways is 'otherness' - and disability is a
form of alterity - (re-)produced in history, society and culture?”

I’m enjoying this book.

Me: *thinking about how to translate it into English and make it make sense*

[Yusuf Mustapha ♿ @Yusuf_Karkarna]

I’m hinting to my dad that I’m planning on looking for a post-doc opportunity after my PhD. Chief is now hinting on marrying me out — since I’m not planning on getting married anytime soon.
Just putting it out there if you know the process of acquiring post-doc. Hit me up!
