#phd stuff
Scooped
And I’m scooped. My project was published in another organism yesterday. Fuck me.
Just want to add that I’ve been working really hard to finish some experiments and we are beginning to write our manuscript now. Sometimes these things work out.
I started a YouTube channel because I really miss talking to people. :(
Starting out, it will mostly be academic advice and chatter, though I anticipate doing some videos in the future about my research, including fandom stuff.
If you’re in grad school (or thinking of applying to grad school - doing a series about PhD admissions) you might enjoy!
29.4.21 // i tried uploading this on the day, but couldnt. i passed my second apr the other day. there are more white strands on my hair now–i am intrigued and excited. i wonder how ill look with some white hair. we might be making drastic changes to our life situation soon, so we’ll see how that goes.
25.4.21 // planning my first thematic chapter. ive been much chiller about my phd ever since ive decided i dont want to stay in academia. i dont feel the crushing pressure of having to know everything under the sun about my field, and pleasing my supervisors and other people in the uni has become just a practicality rather than grounds to build self esteem upon. ive also gotten a referral to the psychiatrist because the initial screening for adhd my gp had me do showed i was struggling a lot. excited to see how it all will pan out…

- email A. again for a few other backup conferences for the findings chapter, the ones you found last night. try to also look for ones that will publish proceedings!
ideally:
