These are Jana's parents. They are very proud of Jana for studying for her PhD. They have no idea what Jana does. But they think it must be very difficult. This is because Jana tells them how hard it is every time she sees them. #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat

Will a M-index to measure academic mentorship create more problems than it solves? - LSE Impact
Can academic mentorship be measured? Or will efforts, like a proposed M-Index, lead to further gamification of teaching and learning in postgraduate education?

🗣️"Networks help ideas travel before they become publications. They allow a draft to be challenged, a method to be improved, a policy question to be sharpened and a young researcher to learn the unwritten rules of scholarly communication."

From open access to open participation, why research impact starts before publication - LSE Impact
If open research is judged only by who can read the final article, it overlooks who has the networks, feedback and institutional support to shape research.

This is Nigel. Nigel has made a bad mistake.
He has just asked Peter what his research is about.
There goes the evening.

Secret 7: You can do it! A PhD is 90% persistence and 10% intelligence. Of course you have to be clever. But that's not enough. You also have to persist. Hang in there. #7PhDSecrets #phdchat #ECRChat #postdoc #gradschool

early-career academics, if you don't have a website, make yourself one. yes it's annoying but just do it

it can be plain text on a white background, or google sites, or even a free Wix one with ads. nobody cares we just need to be able to look you up, quickly, bc there's like 100 other apps here

and set up google scholar + add a secondary email address you control to all journal/etc accounts so you don’t lose access when leaving/changing institutions. #ECRchat

#MentalHealth tip: It's easy to forget, but you are not your PhD. If your PhD is having a bad day, that does not mean you are a bad person. You are more than your PhD. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

A small but very important word to add to your vocabulary.
Yet.
I'm not a very good writer ... yet.
I'm not very good at stats ... yet.
I don't know how to do xxx ... yet .
Yet allows you to learn, grow, develop.
