Philosophers who assess grad school/PhD applications: do you care whether applicants have publications? Does it weigh strongly in their favour, carry no weight, or even weigh against?

(you may wish to distinguish *any* pub from a *good* pub, whatever you take the latter to mean)

PhD vivas drive me nuts. They are so unevenly done in this country. It comes down to the personality of the examiners as much as the quality of the research.

You might get someone looking to put you in your place. And you might get someone who lets problems through unchalleged.

Oh, need to withdraw from my PhD program which was employer funded tomorrow. Which, honestly, is a relief. I will find something that still generates a bit of excitement for me. No fault of the program. It 'fit the criteria' for work funding, which is really not the way to pick your PhD.

When I was failed for my #phd, I wonder why there was no system to check.

If someone fails to reach the expected level, surely it should trigger review by a third party? Or some investigating into guidance given should be made?

Waiting for acceptances or rejections for funding has to be my least favourite PhD/academia experience.

Not to be out-done by the staff, our PhD students organised their own festive meal last night 🎄
We hope everyone else's colleagues are similarly brightening the dark days ✨🕯️

A group of 13 people crowded around a table with food and drink on it. They are in a cosily lit pub and everyone is smiling.

Thrilled to share that I’ve successfully defended my PhD in international law at University Paris Nanterre. My research delves into the tension between counter-terrorism financing measures and safeguarding principled humanitarian aid, with a focus on the Sahel.

Just received something useless in the post:

My degree certificate and graduation pack.

For a degree I didn't work for. That I didn't spend 10.5 years of life orientation myself around.

Congratulations, my arse. #KickInTheTeeth

Proud of Drs. Wright & Mac, the latest PhD graduates of HaPI lab. Dr. Wright's thesis looked at 'Integrating Digital Health & Behaviour Change Following Bariatric Surgery’ & Dr. Mac's thesis was on ‘Understanding QR Code Check-in & Compliance Behaviour in the COVID-19 Pandemic’. Well done to both 🎓🥂
