PSA of the day: in english, delete ‘Miss’ and ‘Mrs’ from your vocabularly! They indicate a womans marital status - which aint a thing anymore!!! For all women use ‘Ms’ (pronounced ‘Mzz’) or their professional title. #titles #feminist #mymaritalstatusaintyourbusiness

Indeed we do. I remember the relief I felt when I was told we only get 2-4 truly productive writing hours a day. From then on during my phd, whenever I felt I had had those hours, I stopped for the day and went home. It did wonders for my productivity and well being

I'm writing about how overwork is baked into academia, through it's culture and contracts. How it weaponises our 'passion' to make the overwork seem acceptable. I'd love to know of any examples or views people have on this topic PhD Voice - Independently Run Academic Chatter™ Dr Zoë Ayres Petra Boynton

If the conference wasn't on a tropical island, you likely forgot about it once you hit submit 😂 Abstract writing is a skill. Compressing ideas into 250/500 words while still being clear & compelling, is tricky. Luckily, I can help 😉 Send me an email or DM #AcademicTwitter

Working on a tricky #thesis or #phd chapter? To stay motivated, break your day down into smaller chunks, e.g 3 hours. 3 hours feels more doable than a whole day. After 3 hours, switch to an easier task (work or otherwise). Repeat tomorrow. PhD Voice - Independently Run PhD_Genie #academiclife

The thesis of 100k words begins with a single word. That word will probably be ‘the’ 😂 If today you don’t manage many words that’s ok. It’s all part of the bigger picture. Be kind. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phd #phdlife #phdcoaching #phdproblems 📷 Hester Qiang

Send help 😅 I started a 'quick tips for writing a research question' blog post for my The Academic Coach website but it is growing into a many page monster and I have so much more to say. Should I do multiple blog posts? Or, at this rate, a book? 😬 #AcademicTwitter

Those of you reaching the end of your #phdjourney what would you tell your younger self? I would tell her that spending time in a comfy chair staring out the window counts as productivity. It takes time for ideas to percolate and mature. PhD Voice - Independently Run Academic Encouragement #AcademicTwitter

#AcademicTwitter I heard someone say this out loud once! Yes, you are good enough and no, your not an imposter! #phdvoice #AcademicChatter

To all PhD students, you’re probably doing much better than you think you are. If you step back for a bit, you’ll probably be amazed at how much you’ve achieved already. #PhDVoice PostdocVoice

Writing a paper is like building a house. Just as you wouldn't build the 2nd floor first, don't start in the middle of your argument. Begin w/ solid foundations and build brick by brick; begin with your starting assumptions and build point by point. #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

🥳 Friday! We all know what that means! Unless you’re a phd and your sense of weekday/weekend has broken down & every day is a work day 🫠 If you cant take a proper break bc the thought stresses you, try doing something fun tonight instead. Its just 1 evening, but it will help

Happy Weekend! #Selfcare means taking time off, so here's to hoping you don't see this tweet until Monday 😉

Today is the day! For what you ask? For that thing you’ve been putting off. We all have one. So go do it. It’s taking up far more mental space worrying about it than doing it will cost. You got this 💪
