What sort of things can we help with? Time management, student participation, grading, feedback, student concerns.
All the fun stuff! #TeachingAssistant #GradStudent #AcademicLife
That feeling when you didn't prepare enough for class, were hoping to use office hours for last-minute teaching prep, and several students actually show up to ask questions!! #academiclife
I’m starting to enjoy making students sweat during progress check-ins.
Is this a mid-career milestone? 😆
(To be clear: the goal is better science through sharpened reasoning, not suffering.)

Few things build research muscles like wrestling with reviewer comments 💪. Turning "major revisions" into a better manuscript takes patience, a little humility, and a lot of coffee. Every round is a chance to grow (and improve the paper)! #AcademicLife #TalkingPapersThoughtLoop
Stack of printed manuscript pages on a desk showing chapter title pages. Visible titles include “Chapter 1: Role of Librarians in Consumer Health Information” by Bobbi L. Newman, “Chapter 2: Conducting the Health Reference Interview” by Carolyn Martin, and “Chapter 3: Health Information” by Bobbi L. Newman. A pen rests on the pages, and the papers appear clipped or stapled together.
Still kicking it old school for final editing. Gotta print it out!

I am failing at protecting my time! I'm not cooking, my family doesn't see me (teens don't care tbh but I DO!), worries about admin keep me up at night (also, the state of the world).
Sharing for transparency about #academiclife + humility AND ALSO as a cry for help:
7/
Figure 7 of the article referenced in the post. Those PhD graduates with Master's degrees had more scholarship money, took less time to complete, but were older at the time of graduation.
The pathway to a #PhDLife might include a Master's degree.
But, it might not.
Whichever you follow, there are costs and benefits.
And your context really matters.

And this is me, finally free from thinking about revisions 😅

I’m especially happy to connect with:
• PhD students and early-career researchers
• scientists working with AI and data
• people interested in precision agriculture and digital twins
• Horizon Europe collaborators
Let’s build ideas together.

But still, there’s a difference. Anyway, I didn’t know this part of the story; all I had heard were the criticisms and moral judgements.

A wonderful conclusion to years of intensive research—Thank you for your inspiring work and valuable contribution to research 🌟 All the best and continued success! #PhD #OneHealth #Research #Science #AcademicLife
When did research become a race towards quantity? Can we revert it and start playing the game differently? A few thoughts from me 🤞

Male university staff out-earn women by 10 per cent Men working in Australian universities earn 10 per cent more on average than their female colleagues, even though gender pay disparities have contracted. Read more in Times Higher Education.
Hmmmm I wonder why fewer women are in senior academic positions....
Maybe it's because we don't support or encourage women to promote?? And we shoot down any ambitious woman ECR for daring to not know her place???
Just a thought! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Screenshot of the WebConf 2026 organizer notice about format decision timeline
The Web Conference 2026 (Dubai, April 13-17): Registration deadline is March 10, but organizers won't decide if it's in-person or virtual until March 15.
How do you plan travel, pick a registration tier, or get institutional approval without knowing the format?

Photo from a gif because I can´t get the gif into this, with a scene from Mrs Mabel with a woman looking a litttle aside with text "VERY CHARMING" underneath
Just recieved reviewer comments on my proposal that include part of it is "charming" and I´m not sure if that is a compliment or not....

Too many papers, not enough hours? Try a quick weekly routine: save key papers to a folder, skim abstracts, and only deep-dive when it sparks real curiosity. You won’t catch it all—and that’s okay! (Sanity > FOMO) 📚✨ #AcademicLife #TalkingPapersThoughtLoop
Writing an abstract: condense a year of blood, sweat, and debug logs into 200 words—while pretending you totally planned those "surprising findings." It’s research haiku, but with more existential dread. #AcademicLife 📝 #TalkingPapersThoughtLoop
