1. Last office hours a few people had questions about personal statements for grad school apps. I suggested a template that has worked well in my experience & have also laid it out in the thread below in case it's useful for you all.

Academia loves asking for proof.

Proof of abuse. Proof of discrimination. Proof your pain is valid.

But when it’s time to hold institutions accountable? Suddenly, testimony isn’t enough.

It’s Remembrance Sunday, and I recently published a post that looks at Herbert Cowley and the 12th Battalion, London Regiment in WW1. I really enjoyed writing this one so would love people to read it!

On Wednesday I passed my viva with minor corrections! 🥳🥳🥳

Huge thanks to my incredible examiners Professor Julie-Marie Strange and Dr Carmen Mangion for giving me a thorough but enjoyable grilling and to my supervisor Dr David McAllister for being a wonderful mentor!

Did you know that the References are the part of a paper most often overlooked? 😳 It's not only damaging science but also making desk-rejection more likely.

Here's a 9-point references checklist for you to bookmark!

UNIVERSITIES = CORPORATE BUREAUCRACIES

📈 Admin salaries rise
📉 Teaching budgets shrink
🎓 Students pay the price

If universities really valued education, why does admin expansion outpace faculty hiring?

I've been going through chapter 3, cleaning up the language, and I've found a way to boost my dopamine in the process. Once I finish a section, I compare the word count to the previous draft. Seeing the number go down is such a boost! Such a nice and easy #ADHD hack! #AcademicSky #PhDsky

My video from FameLab is now up! In 3 minutes, I aimed to convince the audience that nature's supermaterial mucus deserves so much more research!
I was extremely nervous, but I'm determined to keep bringing mucus to the masses!
