Colleague 1: Having one of those days—papers and grants getting rejected left and right. Colleague 2: It's been months like that for me! Me: Hmm… wondering if I should say years… or just go straight to decades 😅📄
my 16 yo cousin brother asked me a question out of blue and it made me think for a moment. i would like to know your answers too: “do you live to do science or do you do science to live?” #AcademicTwitter #PhD #AcademicChatter @ThePhDPlace @hapyresearchers
I am trying to build a WhatsApp Community for MedTech startups and ecosystem enablers. If you are one of these brave Indians, will you be kind enough to share your WhatsApp contact with me? I will take the responsibility of ensuring that it remains a strictly professional group.
Ph.D. shouldn't be about publishing in high-impact journals but mastering skills to solve problems, mentoring, leadership and coming-up with new ideas.
Academic jobs are low paying jobs with enormous amount of stress and pressure but we are still in it, why? Wrong answers only 😉
I had no experience in scientific paper writing when I began my PhD. Even after publishing 40 papers, my first drafts still feel unsatisfactory on second reading. If you're struggling with your first paper, ask for help—good paper writing comes with time and practice.
Things I keep in mind when I review -Authors are smart people -Don't review manuscripts beyond expertise -Always look for the strengths -Highlight weaknesses but I always suggest how to overcome them -Use words like excellent, commend, encourage, etc.
Me in UG: I am smart Me in PG: I am smart Me in 1st yr PhD: I am....🤔 . Me in 3rd yr PhD: I am.....🤔 . Me PhDone: I am sure, I am not smart🤓
Toxic PI: focus on high impact factor papers, grants and fundings. Great PI: focus on overall development of a student including research, teaching, leadership and mentoring skills.
