Mastodawn

Tanya Jul 2, 2023

I mentioned to my PhD chat group buddies that it’d be lovely to see them on Mastodon, and some have agreed to give it a go.

So I’m asking for help. In advance of them arriving, I’d love to be able to point them at this post and replies to find their connections. Are you doing a #phd too? What’s it about? Have you just finished one and have some advice?

[edit: mine's about getting kids interested in data science at school]

Could you help me find as many PhD researchers as possible?

@solderandchaos I'm doing a PhD in classics! I'm working on ancient Roman comedy: I'm looking at the really low-status people who appear in one set of plays--specifically, enslaved people and sex workers--and examining how they interact socially with each other. Kinda like the Bechdel test, but for a different group of people, and what it says about how the Romans viewed those sorts of people having their own social lives & goals.
