My PhD thesis is gone into the academic ether (aka to the email addresses of my examiners). Now to wait patiently for a Viva date… I plan on channeling my nervous energy into learning a new language on Duolingo #Ichbinnett #DubistmeinVater

Tell me you are 6 weeks out from thesis submission without telling me you’re 6 weeks out from submission - I’ve been awake for 20+ hours and I think I’ve just edited the same paragraph four times… yet it reads the exact same… 👀 it may be time for bed! #phd #skystorians #academicsky

The stress of finishing this PhD is going to kill me… maybe a career in academia should be avoided if I ever want to see 80 years 😵 #skystorians #phdlife #academia

Thank you 🤩

My friend Dr. Joanne Liu, former international president of Doctors Without Borders, was cancelled at NYU. The vice-president in education asked to see her powerpoint, prior to her lecture. One slide showed the number of humanitarian workers who died in Gaza. NYU cancelled the event.

As an academia-baby, I’m really starting to think about where I go from here (aka PhD submission & upcoming applications). Am I better to go in the direction of what I want to do or what I’m good at? Looking at the job market, I feel I need to lean into one… #AcademicSky #PhD #ECR #Skystorian

I officially have a full FIRST draft of my PhD thesis 🥳 I now need to go back and fix all the things ‘me from 3 years ago’ did wrong! #phd #selfteamwork #imtheworst lol!! 3 months and counting 👩‍🎓

Failing miserably at the writing process at the moment! Any advice on how to excise these feelings of guilt and fraudulence? #Skystorians #Academia #writing #PhD

I may need to consider taking my electric blanket from home - my office is freezing! Considering learning to type with my toes as my fingers are slowly developing frost bite. Would wait staff kick me out for putting my fingers in a bowl of soup? 🤔🥶

Hey everyone!

My contract is about to end so I would appreciate you all keeping an eye out for roles/funding schemes that may suit me.

I am a "geriatric ECR" too far from PhD viva (5 years) for most postdocs yet unable to get permanence with the job market being the way it is.
