I just spent 11 hours on my thesis. Brain is foggy and tired. Intro done, Lit Review is almost there and Meth0dology is going to be HUGE! My data scare will be resolved in a couple of days #PhDLife

I just ended my very full day, time to down regulate and get some sleep, I want to start a bit earlier tomorrow and fix my third and final paper. I had a panic today because I thought my data was all mixed up! #PhDLife

Had really productive week on my thesis. Yesterday I learned how to do ANOVA in python AND how to analyse it - and applied it to a set of output data in my second paper (it needed more than a visual analysis - feedback from a journal) and I was able to completely edit and finish it. Earlier this week I scrubbed and polished my first one too 🥰🥰🥰 So that is two papers done and dusted this week! One more to go. Tempted to do some this weekend but I need down time. #PhDLife

Fascinating research on the lived experiences of and advice from PhD moms. Impressive to make qualitative analysis when n = 998! doi.org/10.1080/0729... #PhDLife #PhDMom

How to ‘juggle all the competi...

Today I completed my author’s course for early-career researchers and PhD students at our university.

We focused on things that are often missing from formal curricula: how to design a study that does not fall apart halfway, how to work with scholarly sources, and how to keep coherence between research questions, methods, and results.

I hope it became one small step toward a more conscious and sustainable research path for the participants.

Friday arvo but I need to pythonise some data, so firing up my venv - the weekend is a few hours away YET #python #PhDLife

Writing today! I am in a great flow because I have almost all the citations I need in my Zotero. I sometimes have to stop and add one and it such a flow killer. So, on a whole, I am having a ton of fun writing my thesis and very productive! #PhDLife #zotero

How not to spend Friday nights as a PhD student: Stay put at the institute trying to get into the productive zone, when everyone else has fun making out somewhere in the city … :diakkoHug:

Welp, ok, I‘ll put Adorno‘s book back to the lib and embrace structuralist social theory … :akko_grin:
