#Hiddencurriculum is info you don’t have or don’t understand. If - like me - you can take things literally, advice to “do the best you can“ will harm you more than it helps. So. What does it mean to “do the best you can”? christinagessler.substack.com/p/setting-re...

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we?
Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: The Hidden Curriculum of Doctoral Programs: What Nobody Tells You (But You Need to Know). After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
Doctoral programs teach you how to conduct research—but what about everything else you’re expected to figure out along the way?
Join us for a practical conversation about the hidden curriculum of doctoral study: the unwritten rules, strategies, and professional knowledge that can make navigating a PhD easier.
We’ll explore topics including:
• Organizing readings, notes, and research
• Managing time and workload
• Using AI ethically and effectively
• Navigating advisor and committee dynamics
• Understanding departmental and professional norms
• Making the most of academic conferences
• Turning coursework into publications
Whether you’re just starting your doctoral journey or preparing to graduate, come learn the things you may not have been taught—but definitely need to know.

Thank you for sharing this! #hiddencurriculum Important tip for junior faculty (or all career levels!?) 👉
If you are travelling (eg to conferences) reach out to colleagues in nearby labs and offer to give a talk. This is something I didnt realise people did until quite late in my career.

Working with applicants on admission "personal narratives"
I see the same issues crop up - too much storytelling, not enough explicit "why I'm right for grad school & why grad school is right for me". Personal statements should actually be a persuasive thesis.
