I am teaching a course (Masters level) on "good research practices". One aspect is: "academic kindness": giving positive feedback, emailing a colleague about their article with a compliment, etc. I am looking for literature students can read on the topic. Any thoughts?

Here's an email my supervisor wrote while I was in the Valley of Shit, 2 years into my PhD.
He was right.
Everyone needs a cheerleader. If you are in the Valley of Shit w/ a mutinous part of your brain, please know you're doing great. Don't give up!

It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish.
But it is also Christmas.
So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter.
I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.

If there's one piece of advice for getting through the PhD and continuing in academia, it's this: take time to recharge! #phdchat #AcademicChatter @_AJDavis writes about this too, check her out.
Pushing yourself to your limits will only leave you exhausted. Work hard, but also take the time to recharge — there will be more benefits than you realize. s.hbr.org/2l22nXx

PhD Viva ("defence") prep begins imminently. Those who've done theirs...
Where did you start? What were you glad you had done in terms of prep? What would be your top tip?

Dit is een goede dag (#WareOpening) om nog eens te herhalen waarom #WOinActie protesteert, en welke evidentie we hebben voor dat protest. Ik zal in de loop van de dag, tussen andere bedrijvigheden door, een hoop cijfers en rapporten nog eens op een rijtje zetten.
