I take back what I said about keeping sane while thesis writing, I no longer think it's possible 😂 but if you manage to ride out the waves and find the light at the end of the tunnel, the post-submission honeymoon is great 🌅🥂
Today's blog from @Cat_Murphy19 follows her last post on keeping sane while thesis writing - reflecting on whether this is actually possible & finding the light at the end of the tunnel 🌅 neuroblastomablog.com/2023/0… @RCSI_postgrad @TissueEngDublin @RCSIPharmBioMol @NeuroblastomaUK

Current stipends for PhD researchers in Ireland just aren't enough. Ireland is ranked LAST GLOBALLY in terms of PhD Stipend to cost of living ratio, scoring 0.58. Meaning the current ANNUAL PhD stipend covers living costs for less than 7 months. @DeptofFHed #PGRsDeserveBetter
