There are no consequences whatsoever for unprofessional peer review


Doing PhD is just rephrasing "this is a very elusive term," "this is an umbrella term without any fixed meaning" and "the definition varies among scholars" over and over until you defend, isn't it. #phdlife #AcademicChatter #phdstruggles #PhDWriting


I love this advice!! I actually made an amazing conference connection in a breakout room after my talk. But reaching out and being precise about your expectations is a way to go in online conf mode! #PhDadvice #phdlife

1. Ask people to do a "coffee break" during an online conference. Hi, I [saw your talk/am interested in x aspect of your work/would like to ask you about x questions], would you have 30 min to chat during [online conference]? (2/6)



If I have been procrastinating something that is due tomorrow by doing something that is due the day after tomorrow (so, both have very urgent deadlines) is it actually a productive type of procrastination? 🤔 #PhdLife #PhdChat #AcademicTwitter


I took few days off work, and now it's so hard to get back into the research mode. Peeling myself off the couch and getting to work is just so tough. And it's not even that the paper I need to work on is not interesting...

Never underestimate the power of anti-mentors ... People who are such glaring examples of what you don't want to be like that they actually make for some really good life lessons 🤡

Graduate students are full grown adults. Trust them to do their work. Trust them to figure out their work schedules. Trust them to be independent. Because they can. #phdvoice #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #PhD #gradlife

Stop assimilating, they still not going to accept you. May as well live your life unapologetically authentic, and out loud.


Break the vicious circle! And don't be afraid to seek therapy before you become a mentor yourself! Take care of yourself and of others!

Please don't go pranking your students. Pranks are the type of "joke" that can be just extremely unpleasant for others. Be just kind to your students and don't do anything to raise their stress levels, today or on any other day. #AcademicChatter #phdLife #Tired

I just started my PhD, and I struggle with project management skills and dividing my time between research, studying and teaching. Which are the online time/management tools u use to be more productive and less stressed? @PhDForum @PhDfriendSana @PhDVoice @PhDvent @PhdExhausted


Such a lovely project! Academia definitely needs more friendliness.😊

Hello #academia! I need your help today :) I created a FriendlyAcademia list! Please tag and promote your favorite academia handles (or yourself 🙃) and I will add them to the list! @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice @PhDForum



This is one of the most important things to remember when feeling stuck or when that impostor syndrome kicks in! PhDing is not only actively writing! #phdlife

When choosing a thesis advisor, it’s natural to envision your best days, but important to think about your worst days. Whose office do you want to walk into when your experiment failed, your manuscript is rejected, or you’re dealing with a family emergency? Choose that person.


An excellent thread if you need something to smile at today!

The Emperor’s New Groove is an underrated Disney movie so I’m going to dedicate a thread about grad school via ENG gifs.



An excellent thread. I try my best to adjust my teaching to the pandemic situation but since I am not in control of my own course, I can't implement everything I would like to yet. I am planning to in the future, though!

Remember this, popcorn is prepared all in the same pot, in the same heat, in the same oil but they don't pop at the same time so don't compare yourself to others, your time to pop is coming. #AcademicChatter
