When you have a good supervisor, you don't need to look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

It's already lit.

@ThePhDPlace PhD 6: it's too late to turn back now, I am committed to this dumpster fire aka my project. But it's my dumpster fire.

[Shanny Foo @ShannyFoo]

@ThePhDPlace Yes ... 👍!

@arispapargyriou Here, they randomly stop, require overcrowded shuttle service. Also, flooded stations, leading to mob escape. I like to think of it as exciting and unpredictable. Who knows if I'll get to my destination today, or at all?

@jflWrites Traps!

[Shanny Foo @ShannyFoo]

@ThePhDPlace Wow, that's amazing. I hope for same one day, after the PhD ... I heard postdocs can afford rent. Tell me it's not a lie!

[The Struggling Scientists @TheStrugglingS4]

WOOO!

@realmattfalcon I only know that I don't know, which is still more than I knew before.

@TheStrugglingS4 A postdoc recently told me that graduation isn't the ending I think it is.

@ThePhDPlace Zotero?

[Shanny Foo @ShannyFoo]

@ThePhDPlace Come do a postdoc in Canada! We have all the missing things 🇨🇦 like equality and stuff.

@byMorganWright Your, you're.
They're, there, their.
Whose, who's.
They/them, who/whom ...

@TheStrugglingS4 It's the defense that worries me. I've seen some pretty brutal roundtable examiners. I strive to handle it as elegantly as the defenders I've observed who remained poised and saved the tears right up until they exited during deliberations.

@TAMillennial It's a love/hate relationship.

@mtlblog The construction on St Cath when I moved here in 2018 is still there. Only bigger, somehow.

@ThePhDPlace Chaos is productivity.

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice .... ☕

[Shanny Foo @ShannyFoo]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I am less stupid than before. But just enough that I can't finish yet. It's been 6 years. Let's just take the median and call me slow.
