Today was my first time receiving initial feedback from a supervisor on my writing and although I requested it, my heart sank when I saw the the email come it and a littleoanic followed. Does anyone else feel this? Academic Chatterā„¢ #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

I am up to my eyes in fear and confusion. Fear that I am making a mess of the PhD and confusion because I have no idea if I'm making progress or problems for myself.

Does anyone have a chrome extension that helps summarise papers or extract key learnings? In order to figure out which papers are worth reading quickly. #phdchat #phdchatter #phdfriend PhD Chatter

I wrote 750 words today referenced and well placed, intentional sentences. I am so relieved to have a writing system that doesn't boggle me

I am already seeing so much academic bravado - with people "correcting" others around how they describe their work - not in papers or in a viva but none supervisors taking chunks out of different thinkers. 😳 #phdchat #AcademicChatter

I have spent all damn day wondering why someone cut this woman out of the image when they could have just cropped her out if they didn’t like her and it’s JUST occurred to me that it’s Kim K stood next to her.

Normalise saying: ā€œI don’t really know anything about that, so I don’t want to comment until I’ve learned more about it.ā€ That’s a sign of strength, not weakness.
