A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice: 1. Don’t work evenings or weekends 2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities 3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

When giving feedback on a manuscript, it’s important to distinguish between what needs improvement and what’s just not your taste. PhD students need to learn the writing conventions in their field, but also need room to develop their own style. #AcademicTwitter #phdlife

Enjoying the sun with a walk through the neighborhood. Supervisors, even the happy ones, need to rest & recharge in the weekends too! Fun fact: the bulb houses in the picture were featured at #EUROVISION last week 🇳🇱. #AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Four questions to ask your PhD student in a meeting: - how are you doing? - what have you been working on? - what do you want to discuss? - what can I help you with? Any other suggestions? #PhdLife #PhdChat #PhdVoice #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Our university’s PhD psychologist told me that about 45% of the PhD researchers she has seen, were struggling with their supervision. I think that’s quite a lot… Does your institute have a psychologist to turn to? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicMentalHealth #PhdLife

I had some initial doubts (because of the power imbalance) but I’m so happy this community encouraged me to ask some PhD researchers for feedback on my manuscript. They gave such relevant and useful feedback 🤩. #AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdchat

So yesterday I presented my book to... OUR PRIME MINISTER 😱. They invited a few people to share how they tried to make the best of the Covid situation. #surreal #printingextracopies

Almost 600 copies of my children’s book were sold 🎉. So yesterday I could donate €1250,- to a PhD project that studies the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of adolescents. This was a whole different way of supporting a PhD student (who I obviously do not supervise btw).

Does your supervisor write with you? Even though I’m often listed as coauthor on the papers of the PhD students I supervise, I do not write whole paragraphs. I do give feedback, make suggestions, propose restructuring of words/sentences/paragraphs. #AcademicTwitter

Tomorrow I have a full day of Communication training as part of a talent program I was selected for. And even though I’m very committed, I just decided to miss the first 30 minutes. So that I can bring my son to his very first day of school myself 🤍. #AcademicMom @Momademia

I need to get this off my chest (🧵). So far I supervise(d) 9 PhD researchers. With one of them I was unsuccessful in creating a safe relationship and when I changed jobs, I decided to stop supervising her. At that moment I thought it was all her fault...

When a PhD researcher says: I’m sorry I’m just rambling really. And I’m like: No don’t stop, you’re making perfect sense! These are the best meetings 🤩.

I think a PhD supervision team ideally covers: 1. theoretical expertise on main concepts/variables 2. relevant methodological expertise 3. knowledge of the context of data collection 4. mentorship on how do to a PhD Agree? Complete? @AcademicChatter #academictwitter #phdchat
