I’ve not been on here lately, but I’m happy to say that I guess I can’t be @pretendgrad anymore …
It’s DR. @pretendgrad now!!
Now to take a day off before I get back to writing papers 😅

I am looking for a postdocs to join my lab. The successful candidate will get a Feldman lab T-shirt that matches a lot of random objects in the lab including gloves! Who could resist the temptation of applying???
When you decide to deep clean your entire apartment instead of finishing edits for your thesis chapters 🙃
It’s going to be a long week ahead …

#AcademicTwitter #phdvoice my supervisor said I should think about the worst types of insecurity faced by women in the global era. So I wrote a list. Please add anything I am missing - I don't presume to know the lives of all women in the world... Thank you 💕
It’s Day 18 or 19 of the #20daythesischallenge
Yes I’ve lost track of time
No I won’t finish it all be tomorrow (or even the day after)
But I’m getting there!
It’s definitely been a learning experience and learning how hard it is to write …
But it’s fine. Really.
I’m going to get this #thesis done. You know why? Because I defend in less than two months and then I’ll be done with my PhD 🎉
Which I know is just the beginning, but I can’t wait for what’s next!! 🤩

@AcademicChatter Hi.. Has anyone used either Fathom or Otter for notetaking during an interview(S)? I'm organizing my stuff before I start my research and came across these two apps, but not sure which one is better for transcribing late (i.e, for coding).
Day 12 of the #20daythesischallenge
I’m realllllly behind. I don’t know how I’m going to finish writing everything when it takes me days just to feel confident enough to put words down on paper. I wonder if it gets easier?
Ended up just working on other deadlines …
Day 11 of the #20daythesischallenge
The pain has mostly subsided although I can’t walk yet.
No writing today but a lot of data searching and compiling. Which definitely counts for something!
Now for some sleep 😴

It's been days with no success, #academictwitter, so I'm reaching out to you--where can I find 2020 #healthstatistics for #maternalmortalityratio and #under5mortalityrate? @AcademicChatter
Short updates for day 8, 9, and 10 of the #20daythesischallenge
Day 8: had a couple of meeting but mostly took a break to refresh my brain
Day 9: tried to do some writing and then badly hurt myself and had to stop everything
Day 10: slowly recovering and doing edits in bed
The break from writing has been very refreshing but it’s so frustrating that even through the pain all I can think about is the time ticking away for me to finish my #thesis and all my #deadlines
Why does academia pretend life and research/writing are orthogonal?? 😵💫
Omg day 7 of #20daythesischallenge is done! A whole week gone … where is the time going??
2 chapters the intro and conclusion are still blank pages. I guess there’s 13 days to go!
Back to #writing tomorrow morning 💪🏽

As a PhD student, every hour you spend thinking about your project is actually an hour of work.
We’re thinkers, so thinking is work.
Remember to credit yourself with that time and count it toward your weekly work load.
Don’t overwork.

Almost forgot to post 😅
Day 6 of the #20daythesischallenge is over! The appendices are done! Now to work on the main chapters starting tomorrow …
Just going through each section and looking at all the formatting changes I need to make is making my head spin …
#phdchat
So day 5 of the #20daythesischallenge is basically a t an end, which means I’m a quarter or the way done. Certainly doesn’t feel like it though …
Still so much to do …
#phdlife #writing #thesis
It’s Day 4 of the #20daythesischallenge and Monday 😵💫
On the plus side at least I’ve started working on chapter 5? It’s going to be a long day though 😐
Blasting some music to get me through it all 💪🏽
Long day ended with a bit of a migraine. On the plus side though, I was able to add references to a whole chapter and make some figure updates.
