Found this podcast episode quite refreshing. Leonard Cassuto & Robert Weisbuch argue for graduate school reform in their book "The New PhD."

If I a) land a tenure track job and b) end up in a department with grad students, this has to be part of the job.

Finally worked out how to answer that perennial question that plagues every PhD pioneer…
"So, how's your PhD going…?"

This is an essential opportunity for researchers to learn about the rights of communities to own, control, access, and possess information about their peoples, which is fundamentally tied to self-determination and to the preservation and development of culture.

I'm thinking of starting a channel where early career (=not staff) scientists from our lab get the opportunity to showcase their science in video. What platform should I pick?

Thanks for sharing and suggestions 🤩😎🥰

Grad students typically work anywhere from 40 to 80 hours a week, but programs are assigning them 39% to 50% appointments, creating variation and lower pay, despite a new union contract.

Dear Msc students applying for a ,

I've recently reviewed almost 48 job applications. Can you guess what the most common mistake was?

Well. It's ok to come from a different background. It might even be a bonus! But please explain WHY you want to switch fields and HOW your unique skill-set might be helpful to get the given job done. Please tell me why your past achievements are important for THIS job and why you want to work in THIS team.

Good luck!

I'm anxious about going back to work after 2 weeks of holidays and witnessing the amount of emails and unfinished business I left behind 😵‍💫
But at the same time I'm preparing an overseas mission and I'm very excited about it!!

An interesting conversation with my fellow post-grad students this afternoon about the use of AI chatGPT in research and writing of papers/blogs etc. One comment that stuck with me (and bothered me) was that it would make them more productive and competitive as a researcher. I'm a mature student and career isn't probably not my primary motivation for doing research but I would love to hear what others think. It is okay to use these tools to give you an edge?

In the last week I have deleted over 7,000 words from my dissertation chapter drafts and this feels like the most progress I've made at one time throughout my entire writing process thus far.
