No. No no. I don't care about getting the first one. The first #PHD. I do everything in batch around here. 😹😹😹 I was at DBA remember? If I offered Donald #Trump a #Peace prize? Could we make like two dozen #PHDs part of the transaction?💰💱🏧🤑🪙💷💶💵💴💲 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

apparently #PhDs *throughput *is now also replaceable (for a good price that is) https://edisonscientific.com/articles/announcing-kosmos 🤖

Cheat code for #PhDs: batch your thinking.

Constant context-switching kills progress.

My ‘deep block’ method – 90-minute focused sessions – helped an individual finish a chapter in a week.

Schedule one deep block today.

At #BSPS2025, CPC-CG member Dr Jo Mhairi Hale provided useful practical tips on navigating #PhDs/#postdocs, as well as how to take advantage of training and opportunities.

The session was co-organised with Rachel Wilkie and Alice Butler-Warke as part of the CPC-CG #ECR network.

@GDCh_BioChem has started a new #Award program.

If you are a #PhD candidate or student in #Biochemistry or #ChemBio, consider applying for our brand new Meeting Award. This award will support participation in the conference #Biochemistry2026 (March 16-18, 2026) in Würzburg with 500 € and give you a one-year, free membership in our Division!

Closer science ties across the Atlantic: the Max Planck Society has just launched its new Transatlantic Program to boost collaboration with top U.S. institutions & open up more chances for researchers at every level - from #PhDs & #postdocs, to group leaders & directors! 🌍🔬 More here: https://www.mpg.de/25034916/max-planck-transatlantic-program

With 2.5 months till the deadline, it's worth reminding everyone what a fantastic opportunity the #MarieCurieFellowships are! #PhDs from all over the world can apply for personal #postdoc fellowships to work at European Universities marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/post...

Postdoctoral Fellowships

In an open letter, #Irish #PhDs warned international peers to think twice about doing a #doctorate in #Ireland—while the government plans to spend €500,000 per “star” academic to lure talent fleeing the US.

We are very happy that Heiko Paulheim from University of Mannheim, Germany, is joining the ISWS 2025 tutor team again. ...and as you can see by yourself, he seems to be proud, too, to be part of our summer school ;-)

"Wer kann's besser im #Labor?" — Beherrschen Profs das experimentelle Forschungshandwerk immer noch besser als #Postdocs oder #PhDs? Die Erfahrungen und Meinungen dazu gehen weit auseinander, wie die kleinen Anekdoten in unserer "Freitags-Kolumne" andeuten: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3163.php

As the year wraps up, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for being part of such an amazing community of doctoral researchers. Wishing you joyful festive times and a wonderful New Year. Here’s to another great year together! #academia #HappyNewYear #phdlife #doctor #doctorate #phds #promotion #Promovierende

Come on #publichealth #PhDs, dance your way to $2k - your stories are so much more compelling than lab rats or electrons...

Physicist, 98, honoured with doctorate 75 years after groundbreaking discovery https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/jul/22/physicist-rosemary-fowler-honoured-doctorate-75-years-after-discovery #Universities #Physics #Science #Bristol #UKnews #PhDs

As more and more #PhDs head to industry, is a #postdoc worth it?

I asked former postdocs that question—and the reactions were mixed. Here's what they said:

The 2024 FameLab science communication training program and competition is open for applications for #PhDs and #postdocs. See

https://www.fwam.com.au/the-foundation-s-impact/education-learning-and-outreach/famelab-apply

to enter just make a 3 minute video of your work. Deadline is 14 April. 
Good luck if you decide to apply.

Das neue #WissZeitVG ist natürlich keine Stärkung der Wissenschaft sondern eine Stärkung der Industrie, insb. bzgl. #Postdocs.
Es wird dadurch ja nicht magischerweise mehr Postdoc-Stellen geben (noch dazu unbefristet) sondern #PhDs werden einfach dazu gezwungen, auszuwandern oder in die Wirtschaft zu gehen.
Das ist schon allen klar, oder übersehe ich da etwas?

#IchbinHanna

We're having an event at #UnivofStAndrews this afternoon to celebrate the first women to be awarded #PhDs in #History at StA - and to discuss the ways in which experiences of early-career women historians have (or have not) changed over the last 100 years.

#histodons at a distance can read our web essays about Edith MacQueen (PhD 1927), Edith Thomson (PhD 1928), Elizabeth Menzies (PhD 1954) and Edith Johnston (PhD 1956).
