OMG, #HigherEd colleagues! The journal of one of my most cited articles now offers the option to submit by email.
No portals, no AI-bots, no endless spam. 🧪

As someone who started out mailing manuscripts with actual stamps, this feels downright supportive.

In case you need to feel better about the progress of one of your manuscripts, I just received a first-round editorial decision... 418 days after submission. #academicchatter #phdlife

I’m ambitious but not competitive, and every time people talk about funding like it’s a sport, I feel like the exact wrong kind of person for academia. I want to do good work, not “win.”. #AcademicSky #PhDLife #GrantWriting

Προτελευταίο μάθημα σήμερα στο μεταπτυχιακό στο πλαίσιο εκπόνησης της διδακτορικής διατριβής. Ο κύκλος κλείνει, αλλά αυτές οι ώρες της διδασκαλίας στο μεταπτυχιακό θα μου λείψουν λίγο. #phdlife

A strong start to the IMBB Junior Scientists Retreat! ✨
Keynote by Vilaiwan Fernandes, excellent talks from our PhD candidates and postdocs, and an insightful discussion with Spyros Artavanis-Tsakonas on the research landscape in Greece.

🧬I attempted RNA isolation on some grass from outside the faculty and obtained two perfect 18S and 28S rRNA bands...

So, my 10 failed attempts on my own sample were due to improper lysis, after all... I'm happy to figure out it wasn't my dirty RNase-hands...😅

My supervisors' thesis revisions for this month are mercifully brief - I guess that feverishly writing for 16 hours a day, every day, for the entire month of September paid off! Thank goodness, now I might even have time to finish all the other things I need to get done... #PhDLife

A life-changing moment of my academic career was the decision to do language training at the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies. Great teachers and location in Yokohama. The call for the next cohort is now posted! #Japan #language #PhDLife iuc.fsi.stanford.edu/programs-10M

If you’re at ASHA, you should come to one of my talks on Friday! I’m looking forward to sharing data before one of these comes out as a paper, and both are relevant for school SLPs working with preschool and early school-age populations! #ASHA2025 #SchoolSLP #ASHA #SLP #SLP2Be #SLPLife #PhDLife

A big warm welcome into Thursday. This week among other things I’ve been inspired by the Pygmalion effect, in other words design for belief. Have a good rest of the week 😊💎 @ougradsch.bsky.social #phd #phdlife #design #research #psychology #servicedesign #designleadership #ux #cx #humancentreddesign

Even if the paper ends up being rejected, this means we're going to get some feedback from our peers, and every review is an opportunity to make this paper that much more bulletproof. #phdlife #academia

Moreover we must destroy ICE & smash fascism.

Alas, at noon I will have to leave my slumbering, fluffy friend and return to the acid mines of #DissertationWriting.

In late 1980s 3 or 4 members of FALN visited the National Atomic Museum here & it became A Thing I learned this weekend.
