1. You’re capable of much more than you think​

You are one of the smartest and most hardworking people on the planet and somewhere along the line with being surrounded by other smart and hardworking people we tend to forget that.

2. Saying no is important

To deliver work that you are proud of you need to be able to identify the most important work and say no to other less important or impactful work.

3. No one gives a sh*t about your research

As depressing as it sounds it’s true. The sad fact is no one cares about your research as much as you do.

4. You will meet some truly awesome people

When you do a PhD and you are surrounded by fellow PhDs. You are in the presence of some of the smartest people on the planet and that is amazing when you think about it.

5. Academia is not for everyone ​

Sad but true. Whether it’s the style of work, the impact, the salary, or the lack of postdoc positions academia isn’t for everyone and it never will be.

Summary: 5 lessons from doing a PhD

1. You’re capable of much more than you think​
2. Saying no is important
3. No one gives a sh*t about your research
4. You will meet some truly awesome people

A little disappointed that we're using #AcademicMastodon. #AcademicFedi or #AcademicToots when #Macademia was RIGHT THERE.

So here's my #introduction:

I'm a #PhD student at Oxford Uni, looking at differences in #GeneticDiversity btw planted trees and their offspring of two non-native conifer species to the UK - #Douglasfir and #WesternRedCedar.

I developed #bioinformatics approaches for the genetic analysis of half brothers of holm oaks and cork oaks. Before this, I studied the levels of genetic #hibridisation between two white oak species.

I love oaks 🌳

I enjoy #basketball #climbing and every sport :)

#introduction

Old man, recovered #CompChem-ist, former editor, and now busy doing #publishing things at #WILEY. I would like to see the #PDF disappear from #scicomm, but not sure with what to replace it yet.

I lived in 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇪🇸🇸🇪🇩🇪 but no matter where I am I'll join the fight against #pineapple on #pizza.

#marathon running, #twins parenting are my weapons of mass-boredom.

I do #selfiereviews in the bird apps as @physicsteo

To add to the above:

Since there is no #algorithm it is really important that you #boost interesting posts by others.

A star (liking) does nothing to help increase a post's visibility beyond the original author's followers.

I know it is strange coming from 🐦, but it really is the only way to increase a post's audience.

So #BoostAllTheThings (if you like them) and you will notice others will do the same to your content. Here we're all in it together!

#BeTheAlgorithm #BoostsWelcome #FediTips

Can we get a #Scientist or #Science hashtag going to connect? 🙂 In case you're doing science let me know and I'll follow, I try to (re)build my nice, diverse science feed I have on Twitter.
