It's been a while since I am on Twitter but I was really excited to lead my first workshop at UMD. It was great to meet PhD students of different disciplines and at different training stages. Look forward to the full Doctoral Career Pathways Conference next week! @UMDGradSchool
Awesome article! Way to go, @Sonali_M_19! Inspired to work with PhDs to help them realize their superpowers and how they can solve real-world problems! #PhDPlus And a great reminder to us working in #talentdevelopment too of our value.
Failure may reflect:
-what you have learned up until now
-what you are capable of right now
-the circumstances you currently face
But, failure does not define:
-who you are as a person
-your value or worth in this world
-the direction or destination of your future
My team has just updated our already large database of PhD/Graduate fellowships and graduate student research funding opportunities.
We found 200.
For each fellowship, we provide link, description, deadline, eligibility, etc.

In this week's @insidehighered@CarpeCareers, @andrewcrain @UGAgradcareers outlines benefits of passive networking that unfolds over several years, and advises graduate students to slowly navigate connections toward more purposeful engagement in the future

I have unsolicited advice to give Fall search committees.
Based on CV alone, many apps will get tossed before other materials are read. Often, these belong to applicants from less prestigious programs & institutions. But let me tell you why you WANT these candidates… 1/5
Virtual postdoc recruiting event from @NorthwesternU, @thisisUIC, and @UChicago aimed at diverse advanced PhD students and early-stage postdocs. Meet with PIs and current postdocs, professional skills programming & more. Apps are due Sept 10!!

If you’re in a position of power and find yourself justifying toxic work conditions with “it was like that for me also” stop and think about:
-wasn’t it awful for you?
-don’t you want it to be better for others?
-what can you do to make that happen?
This wonderful preprint is now published in @PLOSBiology! Thanks so much to all the authors for putting in the hard work to do this analysis that shows professional development isn't harmful to "core" PhD metrics!

@JRobinsonHamm Just did a workshop last night on personal finance for incoming graduate students... and can't go through the details but made sure students knew to keep track of what payments they are getting and know paperwork may vary and be missing...
