@xt4v @Esqueer_ Arrested for what tho?

5. Focusing on results instead of systems Don't focus on getting better results. Focus on building better systems to achieve those results.

4. Postponing happiness until after the PhD You won't one day suddenly have the mental energy, time, resources, or focus to do the things that make you happy. It's a choice you have to make today to be happy and pursue the things that make you happy.

3. Copying others instead of differentiating Don't be just another okay PhD student by doing the same things as everyone else.  Be the best you can be in something and stand out!

1. Not saying "No” enough Say no, whenever something: - Doesn’t align with your values or goals. - Distracts from doing the things that do. Time is not your most valuable resource, your focus is. Stop saying yes to sh*t and start focusing!

@EastVillageNY @johnnyjoe1083 @DrSamiSchalk So, if a mask won't affect oxygen why on earth would it affect CO2?

Black women academics deserve so much better.

It was a busy year: * 27 invited in-person talks at universities/ conferences * 21 webinars / online panels * 83 interviews * 1,121 papers posted @PubPeer. * My work resulted in 48 corrections, 24 expressions of concern, and 145 retractions this year. I will continue in 2024 ❤️

If you ever lie awake wondering “am I even making a difference?” you are not alone…and yes, you are very likely making a difference for someone.

Last week, I helped run a session on time management for PhD students. A quick summary thread of the big discussion points, in case others might find them useful: 🧵 1/

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it is not your responsibility to "fix" academia. In fact, you probably can't. No matter how hard you try. The efforts of a single person will not fix these deep, systemic issues. This was the hardest truth for me to internalize.

Never underestimate the power of ideas coming from someone with less experience and more imagination than you. Radical change comes from folks looking beyond what is feasible to change and demanding what NEEDS to be changed.

@weinberz Again, a different argument. And not sure how you know

@ChenxinLi2 How do you learn if the PI writes the paper?
