The scarcity of academic jobs isn’t natural or normal - it’s manufactured through funding decisions #academictwitter
Shoutout to every early career scholar who has not heard back from any of their job/post-docs they’ve applied to - we are with you and you are not alone dealing with the excruciating silence and very cruel process #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #gradlife

I’m pretty sure the biggest brain term I’ve heard is “anti-disciplinary” among humanities folks haha
Looking for folks who can either help PhDs transition from academia to a career in computer science, or have successfully made a career change to industry and have some helpful tips! @FreethePhD #altac #AcademicTwitter #postac #phdchat #AcademicChatter #Careers

It’s a good idea to have a “What’s the catch” section in form of “Impact and Significance” in methodological papers 📉📈📝 @AcademicChatter @TweeterAcademic #phdchat #phdvoice
Scientific journals should add a section called "um, so...what's the catch?" in addition to abstract, intro, results etc. in their submission templates #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

This level of transparency is so needed in academia #phdlife

Find yourself an advisor who cares for your life outside of work, not just for the kind of research they expect you to produce #phdchat #AcademicTwitter

Academia affords you the most intellectual freedom #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
Remember, you don’t HAVE to be productive this weekend. And yes, it is the weekend, even in quarantine #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

#academictwitter read this thread 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Thank you for sharing your story @cynth_malone. If academics genuinely want to make the grad school environment more inclusive, we need to better support amazing early career researchers like Cynthia.

if only we knew how prevalent rejections are across industry and academia, we can alleviate some feelings like it’s our failure #phdlife #gradlife #phdchat #AcademicTwitter
Me waiting for that e-mail update on my application after they said they’ll get back to me “later that day” #jobmarket #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #altac #gradschool

The hardest lesson in grad school is to know that feedback on my work say nothing about my qualifications as a scholar. Criticism is directed at the work, NOT me, so I should not take it as me being a failure. #gradschool #phdlife #phdchat #academictwitter #impostersyndrome

Imposter syndrome is an academic normal and should not be. In industry, I had imposter syndrome only in my first year of working. Many years into academia, however, and I am still feeling it. This is simply unacceptable. #impostersyndrome #phdchat #AcademicTwitter

Furthermore, it is embarrassing that people who feel it are the ones often blamed, that it cripples their personal life in a way that creates a negative feedback loop of feeling failure, and that academia is silent about it. #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #impostersyndrome
