Yesterday, I was giving an intro talk to our dept's new PhD students. Technical things aside, my number 1 suggestion has remained the same over the years: Treat your PhD like a job. - Avoid 1.5h lunch and three tea breaks. - Avoid gossiping and loitering at work. - Lab at 9 am and leave at 6 pm. Being productive till 11 pm in the lab is a lie people till themselves when their day starts at 1 PM. Everything worth doing can be done with high intensity focus during work hours. And having fun in life is the secret to being productive in a marathon.

Dear Colleagues, in case it is useful, a bookmarkable list of various paleobotany🌿 resources I’ve been involved with that are freely available online but may be hard to find. [cont.]

I'm currently writing a full grant proposal (the PI asked me to), and I feel like I'm wasting time that could be spent working on what I'm actually being paid for… my plant fossils. It is depressing!

Scientists, artists, and educators now have free access to more than 2000 high-resolution 3D ant models covering most ant genera, created from micro-CT scans. Read more about the revolutionary Antscan project in a new @naturemethods study @EconomoLab oist.jp/news-center/news/202…

This is why, during my master’s, I decided to use a personal Gmail account as my main professional email, which I still use today. science.org/content/article/…

The Palaeontological Association has written to the President of the University of Leicester, requesting that the concerns of the PhD community over the planned redundancy of their supervisors are addressed. [1/3]
