Akademische Quellen finden/herunterladen ist auch ein bisschen wie Bücher kaufen - das Lesen ist ein separates Hobby 😓 😅

Wie viele Tabs ich offen hab? Keine Ahnung, aber sie sind auf 7 Fenster verteilt, hilft das?

My first Thesis Advisory Panel is tomorrow. Wish me luck. #phdlife #UniversityOfYork

Konferenzdinner hatte eine spannende* Komponente.
Kollege vom Nachbarinstitut (nur eine richtige Stadt weiter), erzählt von seinem Promotionsthema und dass se da quasi nur bis zum fergigstellen seiner Diss drann gearbeitet haben und es dann eingestellt haben, weil es ja definitiv nicht zum Institutsprofil passt.

Was ist daran spannend? Das war mein erstes Promotionsthema. Das Thema, was ich nicht weiter bearbeiten durfte, weil wir ja eben diesem netten Institut keine Konkurrenz machen wollen und nicht deren Themen bearbeiten wollen.
Hat mit nur dezent zurückgeworfen.

Have had 5 hours of true, uninterrupted focus and all of a sudden remembering why I love doing research. #PhDLife
Today I'm trying to figure out if these two are in practice the same or not, or in other words, this is my lab staff appreciation post because what would I have done without their patience with my 6844654 questions?? #PhDLife #Biobank

"Doubt is inherent in research (...) The earlier students face these moments and build tools to handle them, the better prepared they’ll be for similar challenges throughout their career."

My PhD student is stuck. How do I teach them perseverance and problem solving?

A new principal investigator wants to help PhD students to develop resilience and creativity in the laboratory without hovering or doing the work for them.

I have a coworker I like, but she texts me at 8 pm about work stuff, and…can’t this be an email? I am not gonna reply tonight. I turned on “do not disturb.” Funnily enough, the text came in while a friend living in Thailand who I hadn’t heard from in a while, was already texting me for over an hour this evening. I have a paper due Wednesday after work. I have a full day of work tomorrow (Tuesday) and I am tired. #phdLife Now I am here #procrastinating— lamenting my inability to pause time.
Got feedback from my three supervisors on my three papers and thesis introduction. Wow. I am really surprised that its been received so positively 🥰 they are impressed that I have made my technical content very accessible to non scientists- this has been one of my overarching goals since day zero 👏 #PhDLife
Campus day today. Have some marking to do AM. Then site visit with studio groupsPM #PhDLife
