TA shamed me and laughed at me for making grammar errors (did my studies abroad). Years later he ran into me in a bar half drunk and apologized for being an ass and offered me a beer.

@EnricaFerrara @EdgeCuting @ProfPacella Yes - the productivity expectations aren’t realistic. The focus is often on numbers not meaning. And creating meaning takes time to read, think, write, hash things out with collaborators, go through a rigorous review process (with more than 2 reviewers).

1988: I’m on deadline with baby Cait in my lap. “What am I doing to her?” I used to wonder. 2016: My Cait fights for families, baby Milo strapped to her chest. Feeling guilty about our ambition is such a waste of time. You’re doing all that you can. It’s enough. #breathe

Great to see people doing their research when picking a potential mentor and recognising that this is more important than university prestige. I know what happens when it goes wrong and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Mentors can make or break careers, take that choice seriously.
@AcademicChatter And, don't refer to this person as a "mentor" by default. They are an advisor, and may or may not earn the title of "mentor" for specific purposes.
I taught dressed as a hotdog in April. #Professorial
When students see you on screen this fall, they need to see someone professorial, someone who has created a classroom space that feels organized and free of distractions. chroni.cl/33TdyWI

@DrHoy480 @EdgeCuting @ProfPacella You hit the nail on the head. Researchers need their down time. Creating meaningful content when sleep deprived is next to impossible.
@EnricaFerrara @EdgeCuting @ProfPacella Yes - the productivity expectations aren’t realistic. The focus is often on numbers not meaning. And creating meaning takes time to read, think, write, hash things out with collaborators, go through a rigorous review process (with more than 2 reviewers).
Classes haven't even started and I have a student out indefinitely due to COVID19 exposure. This semester teaching on campus is going to be a fucktangle.
@EdgeCuting @ProfPacella It’s a vicious circle, one doesn’t realize that has entered a wrong routine ‘cause the system demands crazy productivity rates!
@EdgeCuting Ahaha😂 that will show ‘em😅
What this really stresses is how much we academic #moms work at night - after our kids’ bedtimes & into the wee hours. That’s the only time for the kind of uninterrupted, deep thinking it takes to succeed in academia and research. Not ideal. Any solutions? timeshighereducation.com/blog/baby-pena…
Tell me the reason you dislike chemistry so much and why is it because you had a super boring professor in college.
Are you even a real scientist if you haven’t tried doing calculations on paper while on public transport?!😂🙈 #phdlife #phdchat #AcademicChatter #sciencelife
Unpopular opinion: Doing a PhD is awesome and 3 years in I still feel very privileged for the opportunity! I notice #phdchat often focuses on the negative side of this journey, but I'd like to start a thread about the positive aspects of #phdlife @AcademicChatter 1/2
