An 89-year-old man in Rhode Island has earned his Ph.D. and became a physicist after working toward it for two decades and thinking about it for a lifetime. Manfred Steiner recently successfully defended his dissertation at Brown University in Providence. https://t.co/wkShbICgzF

An important and timely reminder

[Beyond the Professoriate @BeyondProf]

Remember: Job searching (whether in the academic job market or professional) is NOT a reflection of your value. Take a mental break from thinking about it if you can. Spend some time with your loved ones. Take care of yourself and those you care about.

@kaitvkey @SketchesbyBoze Yeeesss! I was just thinking this afternoon how I wanted to start a book shop and beer bar that you could bring your dog to called “Books, Brews, and Buds”

@DylanAStanford I read through it as though someone else wrote it, ask questions I would expect to see answered through logical flow, and essentially “grade” my own paper

@LizWFab I am reading The Book of Magic by @ahoffmanwriter and I think it (and her other books) would be a perfect fit for a course like this! Also, would this course be open to people outside your institution? Asking for me 🧙‍♀️

What’s the most efficient way to keep up to date with new academic literature in your field? 🧐 @AcademicChatter #phdlife #AcademicChatter #phdvoice

[Leigh Anne Koonmen, PhD, RN @lakoonmen]

This is truly great advice.

@LizWFab I used to pull the other person’s clothes out of the dryer and put them on a nearby table/another machine. If they hadn’t come back to grab their clothes by the time mine were done, I’d put their clothes back in the same dryer and move on with my day

@panickedpostdoc @DiponSarkar10 @tdm_goes_viral @AcademicChatter As someone who did a Bachelors to PhD bridge program, I have to say I often regret not getting my Masters first. There are so many interesting jobs that I was underqualified for with a Bachelors that employers now consider me overqualified for with a PhD

I decided to start my #bookbundle adventure with #Binti by @Nnedi and despite being a slow reader I flew through this book!

Excellent pick @grpl

[Leigh Anne Koonmen, PhD, RN @lakoonmen]

I am VERY excited to start my #bookbundle reading adventure of these 5 books selected by @grpl staff

Decision time: which book should I start with first?!

Take time out to invest in self-care. Rest when your body needs to, meditate, be in nature more, read, sing, dance, eat well, write, drink water - you deserve it.

This is a great approach to addressing vaccine hesitancy

[Ryan Knopp @KnoppRyan]

Happy day for me. Several people I care a lot about got the COVID vaccine today, overcoming some hesitancy. What do I say to my patients who are unsure about the vaccine? This:

Best PhD advice:

Stop trying to fill your schedule with work!

Instead, schedule the work that needs to be done. Then, use the extra time to fill yourself up with what you love!

This shift is a life saver!

A reminder that while social media can connect us in wonderful ways, it’s also important to be mindful about how its use is affecting your mental health.
