@nmconnell My sister runs a service station. She said they make all of their profit from selling items inside the servo.

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

@slowtheflowbro @K_L_Luke Indeed she would. And not even no more papers until you read one, but until you write about one. She is a cold-hearted one!!

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

@DrMariaGian @UNSWLaw Way to go Maria. Very exciting and lucky them!!!

@kralfrey @CQUGradResearch @CQUni Excellent. I am pleased to hear that. Sorry you missed the end of the session as I did discuss your menu scrips getting finished so I’m glad you absorbed it by osmosis. Not that you need me to tell you these days!

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

@Meagan_Crowther @CQUGradResearch Thanks Meagan and glad you found it useful. I am sure you will get snapped up quickly once the PhD is done!

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

Draft you write for you
Draft you show your supervisor
What’s left when they are done

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

This is what great supervisors do…they recognise that learning is about building the person along with building the knowledge. There is so much room for doubt during the the isolation of the PhD

[Rachel Buchanan @rayedish]

I love a good visual metaphor. In today’s supervision meeting my student was doubting her progress. So I got out some of my plants to show her how she’s doing (where I’m pointing), vs how she feels like she’s doing. #phdchat

Wonderful working with this group this morning. So many great questions about writing. One of my favourites tips “you can’t think yourself out of a writing block, you have to write yourself out of a thinking block”

[Professional Development for Primary Care Students @PD4PC]

We are now ready to "Turbocharge our writing" after Maria has given us some amazing tips. Thank you
@ithinkwell and @ritamcmorrow the chair of SPCR for organising.

@jjjove @normanswan @jonathanvswan My favourite reply!!

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

I got this from the Philosophy Matters FB page. As an observer of the process from start to finish I couldn’t agree more

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

@BronwynHemsley Sorry speaking about my family member here - lucky they are not on Twitter 🙄

[Maria Gardiner @ithinkwell]

@BronwynHemsley And so hard when it is a family member. I just can’t understand how they have become like this (well I can - algorithms!). But how do they fall for it - psychologist tearing hair out!!!
