The anti-intellectualism of this thread is part of a broader, concerning trend in British journalism, but mocking specific PhD students' projects is sickening.

Pre-PhD: I'm not that clever Post-PhD: I have a sophisticated grasp of precisely how stupid I am in multiple fields
The Cholmondeley Ladies (circa 1600-1610) is a painting raising many questions. Today we're not going to talk about the puzzle in pegging down the identities of the women - we will focus on a different, more mundane puzzle... Image courtesy of Tate Britain.
This is really important. Unless you tell your GP surgery that you're a vetetan, they won't know.
At @I_W_M today for an oral history, and it’s such a joy to see the museum so full of life! 😁 As it should be of course, really reminds you why you do it. Also, bonus points for the sun ☀️ #twitterstorians #PhD #oralhistory #IWM
Next event 😁 submit your abstracts now!👇🏻 please share with your networks #twitterstorians #Militaryhistory

This is really important if you are a historian working with UK data. There is a proposal to destroy historic wills after they've been digitised - a terrible idea, since often you miss the details unless you've seen a document up close and in person. PLEASE sign!

Is the naughty and nice list peer reviewed?
Methodology chapter submitted to supervisors for feedback! V1 / 100 probably, but proud of myself for sending bc I assume everything is terrible and hold onto it. Dare I say I enjoyed getting stuck into the oral history theory 🤓 now for admin, marking, and Christmas! 🎄#PhD
POV: You’re a historian forcing history on your family and indoctrinating them from a young age 😂 #history #horriblehistories #christmas

Not giving her the clout of a QT, but want to celebrate how fantastic this project is - for shifting the emphasis away from the role of activism in shaping gay identity, refusing a hard distinction between porn and politics, and focusing on dialogues about identity within Europe
You can’t write this job sometimes. I had to attempt to keep a straight face during a teams call earlier as a group of people spent ten mins in the background trying to manoeuvre a giant cut out of @TowerOfLondon through a doorway (also @TowerOfLondon) #fortresslife 😂🏰

If you’re shocked by the £800k taxpayer-funded Shakespeare study, then I’ve got more bad news (although knowledge is power 💪) 🧵 Here are other examples the Arts and Humanities Research Council has funded (with our money):
An idle, immature and frankly stupid thread attempting to discredit the importance and integrity of history. I think this attempts to suggest we just chase our own tails and see how that goes.
