Things to remember in academia

Best academic advice I ever got: Co-authors make your career. Be a good one. Carry your weight, work efficiently, add value, & recruit co-authors who are better than you at some part of the process (methods, framing, writing, knowledge of lit). #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

After advising PhD & Master students for over a decade, there is one thing I find most students need to unlearn: the half-ass work mentality acquired during years of tests and homework. Let me explain (thread 🧵). 1/N #AcademicTwitter

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 pic.twitter.com/eiVNOa2Bjn

Advice to new grad students: Don't compare yourself to your peers.

Everyone is on their own paths. & honestly none of us know what we're doing at first 😂 you'll figure out your path in time. You'll learn and grow. That's the whole point of being a trainee.#PhDchat #GradSchool
