Many #IndependentScholars are happy outside academia, but others want to transition in. Here's some useful advice on thinking about your career pathway for anyone who needs to communicate their personal journey.

It's hard to be positive as an #IndenpendentScholar, from disastrous neo-capitalism, grants that assume paid positions, and unequal access to institutional resources. Anne-Wil Harzing has a great series to help focus on the positive.

Giving this absolute disgrace another airing. UK Research and Innovation once again proving that it's head is stuck firmly in the past.

Academia everywhere is in crisis. Forced redundancy in two UK Unis, adjunctification and failure to manage new tech means we all need to know our options.

#IndependentScholars are usually good at planning and managing their research/career but we all need help sometimes.

'Proctasti . . what now, ugh forget it'. Great thread on managing procrastination now the sunshine is here and the birds are singing.

Not just for STEM either. All the good Twitter handles.
