I couldn't agree more. It does bother me that a PhD student withdrawing would be considered a bad sign on my supervisory record when in fact, it may have been a very wise and insightful decision on the student's part, supported totally by their supervisor.

Hi #SocialPsyc feed. I’ve removed “social psychology” as a tag phrase for this feed to try to make its posts a bit more intentional and relevant. So, from now on, the only hashtags that will get posts included in this feed are: #socialpsyc & #socpsyc (neither one case sensitive)! 👍
