@TheStrugglingScientists "But you've graduated already, you've been postdoc for 4 years.. that does not make any sense!" ".. always."

Where was I..? Right: reciprocal space. It's here, and it's awesome, and proudly shows off the diffuse scattering from highly correlated defects that I was so looking forward to seeing :blobpopcorn:

I promised, I'd better deliver: here's some porphyrinic MOF crystals fresh from synthesis, ready for beamtime. Real space picture; the reciprocal space one will follow if they behave under some nicely coherent X-rays :2001:

Hey folks. Another important development in #LitStudies Mastodon: we now have a group thanks to @AnnaSBrasch. The group is @litstudies

A group is an account you can follow that will gather all Mastodon posts that mention the group. It’s sort of like following a hashtag/topic on Twitter.

Please boost this (or Anna’s post about this) so that everyone in #LitStudies Mastodon knows about it.

#academictwitter #academicchatter

Twitter was really useful for finding people to write about. I’d often stumble across incredible stories of discovery, innovation and leadership. I hope #ScienceMastodon can be the same. If you come across extraordinary, inspirational #WomenInSTEM / researchers from other historically excluded groups, please let me know! #TwitterMigration

Like many I'm finding Debirdify useful to find people with whom I'd connected on the birdsite across different servers here:

Whilst I'm on #introductions, I'm also an author. Never thought I'd say that, but here we are.

I wrote "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD:A Survival Guide" because I struggled during my own PhD. I felt worthless and experienced a range of emotions, feeling suicidal at times, and wanting to quit. So I decided I wanted to create a resource for others that might be struggling.

You can buy/read it here:link.springer.com/book/10.1007. #AcademicChatter #PhD #PhDProgram

Looking at my 3 followers made me realise it's introduction time! I'm Stefano, postdoc researcher in atomic structure analysis of materials and their aperiodicity :amaze: now based in Germany. Entering my world means lots of mesmerising patterns, metal-organic frameworks and crystallographic allucinations, but also my two cents on supporting students and researchers in STEM struggling with the darker sides of academia :blobreach: Looking forward to being toot-friends!
