@thesiswhisperer Will a dancing cat gif do? You've helped me so much as a graduate student and I know that rejection pain well...

[Simangele Mabena @simangele_m]

Not an alcohol drinker (how am I even coping?) but my favourite tea will have a special mention in mine 😁

[Dr Miguel Cueva @mcueva89]

I wish it was socially appropriate to thank 'Cabernet Sauvignon' on your thesis acknowledgment...

I will write an ode to wine!
It certainly helped me get through my PhD.

... and if case you're wondering, I'm enjoying some wine tonight!
😊🍷

A thread and a flowchart! Things I wish I had when I was thinking of starting a PhD (I'm lucky that I got a TT job, but still think I could've made better choices) #phdchat #ecrchat

Great thought-provoking article! #iyil2019 #SignLanguageAnIndigenousLanguage

So true!

[Beyond the Professoriate @BeyondProf]

We’re socialized in academia to apply for jobs and then to wait. That’s not how most people get jobs beyond the professoriate, and that’s not even how many academics actually get jobs. Instead, networking is crucial!

[Simangele Mabena @simangele_m]

@Jollymonsta Just for the nje 😂

[Simangele Mabena @simangele_m]

So challenging when they've followed a set path and you're still making your way imagining a new one.

[Beyond the Professoriate @BeyondProf]

Don't get stuck thinking that only people who have your degree will be useful to you understanding your career options. Many PhDs in non-faculty jobs are not drawing directly on their PhD research or expertise (yes, not everyone, but a lot!).

[Simangele Mabena @simangele_m]

A bit 'late' to the party (in my 3rd year) but I'm slowly learning and working on this. #ThankYou

[Beyond the Professoriate @BeyondProf]

The skills you developed during your PhD will have an impact, wherever you go (and, yes, even if you're no longer researching and writing in your current field). #withaphd

[Simangele Mabena @simangele_m]

Congratulations to @_balyasnikova ... Now you're a Dr! So well deserved 😁 #PhinisheD

[ImaginePhD @imaginephd]
