The road to a first-author paper often isn't short or direct. Unlike her colleagues, Poojashree Chettiar faced a five-year wait to publish her PhD project. Here’s how she coped: spklr.io/63324BMXYA

Asking PhD students “Do you feel like an impostor?” is wild—every hand goes up. But they can’t all be impostors. You’re doing things for the first time, stretching your limits… of course it feels strange. Keep going. You belong more than you think.

#70DaysofPhD A good day yesterday, completely rereading my Lit Review & making notes for additions needed & where I can create a dialogue with my data analysis. Today, I'm doing very little (out to lunch) but I will tidy up a conf. abstract before I go. #PhDSky

Recently attended a @providenceresearch.bsky.social event featuring a @heartlunginnov.bsky.social panel of grant-writing experts! ✏️
From crafting a compelling narrative to managing rejection, their advice for trainees was incredibly insightful.
Looking forward to the next event!

You don’t have to do this alone. Reach out to others who understand what you’re going through — in your program, your field, or online. The more you talk, the more you’ll see: no one has it all figured out.

#70DaysofPhD I have a couple of hours this morning, so I'm going to concentrate on my Lit Review continuing to explore the dialogue between it and my data analysis. #MakingProgress #PhDSky Trying to do something every day to climb the #PhD mountain step by step.
A climber pauses on a steep slope and looks at the climb ahead. The climber has a backpack, helmet and ropes. Ahead lie high snow capped peaks but the sky is blue and the weather is fair.

Higher Ed retaliation is real.

The fact that so many survivors stay silent isn’t proof that it doesn’t happen—it’s proof of how well universities suppress it.

That story lives in my memoir.

It’s normal to feel lost, confused, or unsure about your direction during your PhD. Every researcher hits that point where nothing makes sense. Take a breath. Keep going. Eventually it all starts to become clearer.

#70DaysofPhD Not a lot of time available today but hopefully time to finish read through of my lit review make notes of where it's relevant to my data analysis & of what's missing from it. Step by step on the long #PhD road - but I'm getting there! #PhDSky

So my PhD supervisor said I was the 'perfect PhD student' in our check in this afternoon when I was telling her about how far I've gotten with my data collection and this overachieving perfectionist is going to be riding that high for the next week #PhDchat #PhDsky

New paper out! We studied how different ways to count words can changes reading grade level estimates. Bottom line: Don't take reading grade estimates at face value. AND show your work when you do them! More info in thread below.

Readability scores don't just vary due to "error", they vary due to context-specific decisions. The example text reads: "The deluge in new cases is fueling a sharp rise in #COVID19 hospitalizations. as of this morning, there were 276 virus-stricken patients in our state's hospitals. Thats a 39% increase over the past week and a 109% increase since 3/17" The hashtag is highlighted an annotated with the question, "Count as a 4-syllable word? Count at all?" The date is highlighted and annotated with the question, "Count as a 1-syllable word and 3-syllable word? Count as "March 17"? Count at all?"

Emotional rollercoaster. Self-doubt. The 2am thoughts of, “I can’t do this.” You’re not alone in that. Everyone who’s been through a PhD knows how hard it can be ( and that you will get through it too).

This one's about engaging with Indigenous cultural protocols as an act of resistance against cultural hegemony, which you might assume is kind of a no-brainer, but unfortunately is still a big Western research ethics no-no
