@LharaMullins @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter I make my slides in Canva but present in Prezi for virtual talks because it’s so much better than sharing your screen!

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Make the move as quickly as you can. If you’re feeling this way already, it will only get worse. I left my first PhD program after one semester and transferred to another.

@Jiaojiao2008 @PhDVoice Have you asked your students how they like to receive feedback, advice, and what being challenged looks like to them? I’ve found that professors go about this very differently and sometimes the approach just doesn’t align.

@kshitijtiwari92 @PhDVoice Get them out of the way as soon as possible. Courses get frustrating quickly when you would rather be doing research.

@NadeshkaRamirez @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics Start with Python if you actually want to learn to program, not just learn one language. My partner is a software dev and said R is rough to transition from if you learn it first but it’s easy to transition to.

@sasha_zabelski I have SSHRC (CGS) so tbh I’m in a good position, but the base stipend in my program is $20k (including mandatory TA hours and teaching) in MTL. That’s $1,666/month. None of us get paid until mid-semester either so you need to have savings ready.

@ShannonSevigny You’ve got carbs, fat, half a gram of protein, and you’re hydrating. Model citizen 👌🏻

@alex_qhc Congratulations Alex!!!!!

[Nina Nesdoly @ninanesdoly]

@LaraBadger1 Pretty sure they did!

@QuasiByakko @ellle_em Phenomenal book.

[Nina Nesdoly @ninanesdoly]

@Amata_georgeii @ellle_em @AlixEHarrow This one is so good!

[Nina Nesdoly @ninanesdoly]

@ellle_em 1) Darker Shades Trilogy (anything by VE Schwab)
2) Green Bone Saga (queer characters book 2)
3) House on the Cerulean Sea
4) I know you said not super long but HEAR ME OUT… Priory of the Orange Tree. Please, please read Priory of the Orange Tree. It’s got everything.

@PWGTennant If it’s a short (1-1.5 hour) in-house workshop (not a conference) $1,500 is appropriate.

[Nina Nesdoly @ninanesdoly]

@Xinyi_Zhang1 Yes, I transferred! The sooner you do it the better because most programs have limits on what can carry over.
