Thinking of doing a PhD or postdoc? #1 Tip:
Find a good supervisor.
Do some research on your supervisor before you start doing research with your supervisor. This will be the most important decision in your whole PhD or postdoc.

Know your imposter moments:
- Your first lecture
- A new role
- Writing
- When you make a mistoke
These might make you feel like an imposter but they don't mean you are one.

A PhD means making a significant and original contribution to body of knowledge. This doesn't mean winning the Nobel Prize. #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECrchat #postdoc

You've heard of FOMO: the Fear of Missing Out. But have you heard about FOMAR? The Fear of Missing a Reference? Just one more search. One more scan of the literature. What if I miss something? #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat

The Pomodoro technique. Break your writing time into 25 minute blocks of focussed writing. Then a five minute break and repeat. Explained here: buff.ly/2QJt8wo

How long should you allow for that experiment, chapter, paper? Longer than you think. Everything takes longer than you think. Especially in research. Learn from your experience and set more realistic deadlines. #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat #postdoc #acwri

We tend to be over-optimistic in setting goals which leads to feeling guilty when we don't achieve them. Remember:
Everything takes longer than you think.
Everything takes longer the first time.
