@RoyalMailHelp DM sent yesterday, it would be great if @RoyalMailHelp can actually resolve this but I'm losing faith as the postal system doesn't seem to be working particularly well from my experience so far...

@JacobsonMJ_ @dai_weltweit I'm available for proofreading and editing all types of archaeological articles!

[Lisa Backhouse @lisaback_house]

@archasa Thanks so much, I'll check them out. I'll be moving in early spring so it's really helpful to know that.

I'm moving to Uppsala 🇸🇪! Searching for a job in #archaeology #research or #museums but struggling as not fluent in Swedish. I have a PhD in medieval arch specialising in pottery, excavation management experience and been a museum head curator. Pls RT / DM any leads, thank you!

retired next door neighbours just gave me a box of chocolates saying “we’ve see you working a lot of late night hours recently and we heard it was your birthday last week so here’s a little something to keep you going and make sure you take a break” I’m not crying... #phdlife

@ECBrownlee @GirtonCollege Congratulations!

[Lisa Backhouse @lisaback_house]

@thisisstrata Mine finishes at the end of June 2021... maybe I’ve made a mistake completing enrolment not checking that. I’m still a yr3 until January 2021 as well! oh dear 🤦🏼‍♀️

@CnfDumenil @SameraVinson She’s been putting in a lot more hours (and overtime) since Covid, I think she’ll deserve to share the title 😂 although her typing skills could do with some practice!

[Lisa Backhouse @lisaback_house]

Is it acceptable to have a co-author on a PhD thesis? Does anyone know how to credit a rabbit as a co-author? Especially helpful at nibbling pages to mark the important ones... #AcademicChatter #phdlife #bunnyacademics

[Lisa Backhouse @lisaback_house]

@DrVeronikaCH @AcademicChatter This is perfect!

[Lisa Backhouse @lisaback_house]

@DrVeronikaCH @AcademicChatter Glad I’m not the only person who does this :) I think if it was up to her, the thesis would be dedicated to her, not just added to the acknowledgments!

[Lisa Backhouse @lisaback_house]

@thisisstrata #same yesterday I managed only 7 photos which is major progress from usual...

2 days ago I learned of the passing of mentor and dear friend; I will always value the knowledge and never-ending support he gave me. My PhD would not be possible without his guidance and the great legacy he leaves behind; I hope my thesis pays tribute to his memory. RIP Nigel x
