🎓🔍 Ah, yes, the PhD survival guide by Andrej Karpathy—because who wouldn't want to read a retrospective on how to endure #academia from a guy who thinks "variation" means anything outside of coding? 🙄 Apparently, surviving a PhD is just like undergrad, except with exponentially more #jargon and fewer social skills. 🤖📚

So in order to feel that today’s work day wasn’t completely wasted I signed 21 ‘research excellence letters’ that a colleague had shared with me whilst I was away from work. Turned out, as usual, to be the one of the most positive things I get asked to do.

Every year our best postgraduate researchers are nominated for this (cashless) prize by their doctoral examiners (the nominations are scrutinised by a committee) and if approved they get a letter telling them that we recognise their achievement and giving me the opportunity to wish them every success in their future career. The letters include the text used any examiners to justify their request for consideration for recognition of excellence (which are a fascinating snapshot of what excellence looks like across the disciplines).

I rarely get positive feedback from our postgraduate research community and wouldn’t expect to (except when I fix problems) so it is always amazing how well-received these letters are.

A younger coworker of mine completed her master’s thesis this summer. She intended to complete it in December, but her advisor kept sending it back to her to revise it. Anyway, I decided to give her some potted flowers (and a congrats card) on Monday in recognition of her advisor finally accepting it.

#Science #PhD face a challenging and uncertain future
Last year, more than 45,000 students earned #doctorates in science and #engineering, about an eight-fold increase compared to 1958.
Many budding #scientists go into #graduateschool with the goal of staying in #academia and ultimately establishing their own labs. For at least 30 years, there has been talk of a mismatch between the number of doctorates and the limited academic #job openings.

Happy Grad School Graduation anniversary to me. 🎓

Some years ago in Baltimore I finally put grad school in my rear-view mirror. I had worked 20+ part-time and 3 full-time jobs to get there. I treated myself to two ceremonies: one for Johns Hopkins and one for Peabody Conservatory.

An unexpected highlight was getting to meet James Van Allen, discoverer of Earth’s radiation belts. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by JHU that day so, in a way, he’s my classmate.

🍾 Semper sint in flore!

Revenge of the C student writ very large?!

#Resist and #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists in #USpol.

I spent 26 hours in the hands of UK Council for Graduate Education at their annual Doctoral Deans and Directors residential on Thursday and Friday.

We listened to experts and talked through approaches to everything from quality assurance to harassment and sexual misconduct (and I volunteered to help at a session for colleagues new to the network/role).

Made a lot of friends and learnt so much.

We also watched a college basketball game tonight, nice coincidence with our son’s soccer games this weekend in North Carolina 😉

In addition, I had a nice time with my very first PhD student and his family😊
