If you don’t sit in your car for at least 20 minutes before walking into the lab, are you even a Ph.D. Student?
Slaying PhD viva tip 2: Examiners don’t come to your PhD viva with the intention to fail you, and most of the time they ask you questions because they are genuinely interested so take that as an opportunity to have fruitful discussions @AcademicChatter

I don't know who needs to hear this today but your 'success' in academia does not define you, your work and your goals. Academia will take and take from you until you forget you are actually someone with gifts.
So I was talking to my mom and my friend who are also working in #PhD programs and I was telling them stuff about preparing manuscripts for journals that they weren't told about in their programs and I wondered, how many other people don't know this? 1/ #AcademicChatter #gradchat
