The best gifts come with a story. They say, 'I went through X, Y, Z,' or 'I saw this and thought of that time when...' The best gifts are always a byproduct of time spent thinking of that person. The less time you spend, the less memorable it will be.

This might be a longshot, but are there any orgs in the UK who offer funds for PhD students in their 4th write-up year? I've been doing some looking around, but figured it was also worth asking here with so many #AcademicSky and #PhDSky folks. #PhDLife

This Black Friday, I am shopping at Vanguard 😉

Thinking about shopping this Black Friday? It might not be the best idea. Here’s why ⬇️ 🧵 I’ve been tracking my Amazon wishlist, and recently, prices have increased. Those “huge discounts” on BF? They often just bring things back to their original price - or even make them more expensive.

This advice is very important ⬇️ I meditate daily for 10 minutes... it is a game changer.

In academia, mental health is your oxygen mask. Like on an airplane, we’re reminded to put on our own mask first before helping others. What daily practices help you prioritize mental health and promote a healthier, supportive research environment for all? 🧪#AcademicSky

🫵 Track your expenses. Do you know how much you spend monthly on subscriptions, Amazon, and Starbucks?

If I’m stepping out of my comfort zone, anxiety episodes hit me hard. Can we all agree that we're scared of putting ourselves out there, making mistakes, and being judged? So, since we're all in the same boat, maybe we can just drop the anxiety for good? Thanks! #PhDSky #AcademicSky

Hi #academicsky I’m looking for potential phd supervisors that would be interested in studying the physiology, ethics, and policy surrounding trans people and sport. If you know anyone or know places I should look, let me know! Reposts appreciated.

Wishing you all a productive week ahead, filled with successful experiments and progress on that grant or thesis. You’ve got this! #AcademicSky #PhDSky

Market tip for all tech fans out there! 🧵⬇️ 1/4 I’m a huge Apple fan, and I got myself the iPhone 14 Pro for $1,099 when it first dropped. It’s been awesome, but guess what Apple says it’s worth today? Just $400. #AcademicSky #PhDSky #MasterYourMoney
