OK so thesis writing has officially begun (just experimental for now) and I saw someone ages ago who used dog pics as placeholders for figures and it's already making the experience so much more enjoyable #PhDLife #thesiswriting

Remember that time when @samarchitects spoke up about seeing a girl being groped by a bloke whilst crowd surfing at one of their shows? We need more men to step up and step in when witnessing something like this happening. #SarahEverard

Such a helpful and encouraging thread by @ZJAyres highlighting important and transferable skills you often don’t realise you’ve developed during your PhD

Rarely wear my hair out as I have been told many times it’s not professional. But with even the army allowing #letyourhairdown I was inspired today. Also as an #Afrolatina neurosurgeon, I want to normalize seeing “big curly hair” on professionals for children #blackgirlmagic

Inspired by @lab_shenanigans to start a science tiktok. Starting with TV science Vs science in real life. #Science #research #Biology

Something that won’t get enough attention in a winter lockdown: women will not have the freedom to follow encouragement of outdoor activities if they can only do it after a workday. It is now dark and unsafe. A rather rancid gender gap will be very obvious - to women, anyway.

Dad: Are you in class now? Me: No dad there are no classes in a PhD. I’m doing my project in the lab. Next week- Dad: You got class tomorrow? 😂😂😂 #firstgen #phdlife @AcademicChatter
Dad over phone call: "Alright, you take care while studying hard." Me: Dad, I'm not studying, I'm doing a #PhD. Dad: " Ya alright. Don't study too much yea. Remember to rest." Me: 😭 Has anyone had similar experiences here @OpenAcademics ?

Sentimental peice of grotty dance floor from @Leadmill to go on the mantel 😂. Leadmill holds a lot of memories for both Tom and I separately throughout our uni years but is extra special as it’s the place we met (if you don’t include the cash point in sainsburys car park)

How cute are these little colourful Eppindorfs. Little things which make being back in the lab better 😊
