Conference bullies. It's not on, for senior researchers to humiliate junior colleagues in public at conferences. The chairperson, other researchers or maybe even you need to step in. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

When you start a #PhD you are learning how to do research. You don't know how to do it so ask questions. Lots of questions. If you already knew how to do a PhD there wouldn't be any point in doing it. You are doing it to learn #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat #postdoc #AcademicChatter

Starting a PhD? You probably feel you know nothing.
That's OK. Everyone else feels the same.
Ask lots of questions.

Starting a #PhD? Remember when you're doing a PhD you are learning how to do research. Which means it's OK not to know and OK to ask lots of questions. You don't know the answers at the start. #PhDchat #PhDForum #postdoc #MRes #academicchatter #acwri

Know your imposter moments:
- Your first lecture
- A new role
- Writing
- When you make a mistoke
These might make you feel like an imposter but they don't mean you are one.

Imposter thoughts
What you worry about:
Things out of your control
Things others have long forgotten about
Things others never even noticed to start with

Beware of scope creep. The temptation to add one more:
- chapter
- field trip
- experiment
- novel feature
- extra variable
The question is not:
Would one more make it better?
The question is:
Do I already have enough?

Just out of a meeting discussing my second dissertation draft. Confident that I'll be able to submit the final draft at the end of 2022, and defend in February 2023!
What a journey. #Hokusai #earlymodern #visualvocabularies #visualepistemology

Feedback crime scene:
- poorly timed
- overly blunt
- verbal spray
- cutting remarks
Leading to a devastated recipient.

You can't do it all. So you have to say NO to something. Look through the list and see if there is anything you can:
- delete
- defer
- delegate
You can't do it all.
