@SueFolley - @LizDobsonUoH when you put it like that - you are very near to the finish line :)) #phdchat

@LizDobsonUoH - @SueFolley yup - time= last 5%, effort=not sure but not proportionate #phdchat

@SueFolley - @LizDobsonUoH yes I totally agree with that. I think I am about 90% there but feel that the last 10% will take forever :( #phdchat

@HendraAgustian - Been two months or so since I knew #phdchat hashtag, yet I haven't really been in any actual chat. I've got Dutch class every Wed eve :(

@Eddienosbod - @DeborahALock Depends on what your analytic priorities are. I put data into several softwares and gained a lot from it. #phdchat

@DeborahALock - @Eddienosbod -I had not thought about it this way - in my head I thought one piece of software - thanks for this #phdchat

@Eddienosbod - @DeborahALock No problem at all. I 'tested' Transana also and quite quickly found NVivo to be my tool of choice #phdchat

@Eddienosbod - @DeborahALock also, I decided that the software offered me no analytic value, but it was brilliant for navigating a large data set #phdchat

@LizDobsonUoH - Inverted academic snobbery #invsnob Thoughts, experiences, stories? I'm not naturally academic & was surprised to receive it! #phdchat

@ScholarAtLarge - trying to get work done while battling a cold is no fun, especially while home for the holidays #phdchat

@LizDobsonUoH - Meaning: 'you're supposed to be clever' comments/being judged negatively and unnecessarily for doing a PhD #invsnob #phdchat

@Nat_Douglas - Anybody willing to speak openly about rejection and revising and resubmitting somewhere else? #phdchat #journal #publication

@profkrg - What's the story on today's #phdchat?

@DeborahALock - @Eddienosbod Not heard of Transana so will look - currently have data from18 x 1-1.5hr interviews plus various documents #phdchat

@vvirdi - #Christmas-gift for the lab, refregerator magnets, great way to make fridge magazine....#PhDchat

@Eddienosbod - @DeborahALock do you need to be able to work with video data? need transcripts synchronised with video data to achieve analysis? #phdchat

@Eddienosbod - @DeborahALock these are the kinds of observations I found useful. I needed to navigate audio and video data rather than transcripts #phdchat

@Eddienosbod - @DeborahALock good luck with your investigations. What is your work? #phdchat

@lizgloyn - Incidentally, does anyone have good biblio recommendations for representations of the monstrous in film? #phdchat

@SueFolley - @NSRiazat yes - and I feel guilty if I don't spend lots of time with the kids over Christmas - it is a special time :) #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @Janshs @lizith #systemsthinking #systems ~ academic search engine ~ http://t.co/zPh3PjkK (sometimes comes up with good refs) #phdchat

@SueFolley - My resolution for 2012 is to submit my thesis and get my EdD - what is everyone else hoping to achieve in 2012? #phdchat

@SueFolley - @sarahthesheepu I would say that is a pretty successful year! :)) #phdchat

@srossmktg - I'd say, in a 4 year program, it's impossible to not have made good progress in any given year... #phdchat

@aeratcliffe - @SueFolley Survive :-) I need to have a good draft of a lit review soon, followed by a pilot and then APG transfer #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @profkrg @SueFolley ~ always focus on the things I could have done rather than celebrate what I have achieved in terms of PhD. #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Janshs mine is to complete :) - I really hope when we have this social this time next year I will be done :)) #phdchat

@Comprof1 - Id be a lot more productive if my I could have an hour to myself #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - should we do a page of 2012 goals on the wiki and then come back to see how we are getting on during the year? #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @SueFolley ~ my resolution for 2012 has to be to curb distractions and be more focused and productive in the study time allocated. #phdchat

@Comprof1 - Now that my son is home from college I lost my time and office (his room)#phdchat

@Janshs - @SueFolley sure it will be :) #phdchat

@SueFolley - @aeratcliffe Excellent - good luck with all of that :)) #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @SueFolley ~ always focus on the 'nice to do' tasks and leave the ones that REALLY need completing to the 12th hour. #mybad #phdchat

@profkrg - I need to finish a study and my dissertation proposal during the "break." #phdchat

@aeratcliffe - @SueFolley Many thanks. #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Janshs That will be my next job after completion :) (never ends does it! :) ) #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @SueFolley @Janshs mine is to complete :) - I really hope when we have this social this time next year I will be done :)) #phdchat (same!)

@Comprof1 - I need to finish rewrites and then get committee approval by march 2010. #phdchat

@SueFolley - @NSRiazat I was the opposite - got little done in 2010, loads this year but it has just slowed down as at a hard stage :( #phdchat

@profkrg - @SueFolley hi, Sue! *waves* #phdchat

@Janshs - @SueFolley never! :) we love it tho LOL #phdchat

@SueFolley - @sarahthesheepu good luck with that - hope you get what you want :)) #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @sarahthesheepu # what a great idea of putting resolutions on wiki and coming back to it next year. :-) #phdchat

@srossmktg - +1.ish. RT @profkrg: I need to finish a study and my dissertation proposal during the "break." #phdchat

@profkrg - @NSRiazat @suefolley because it's never enough :/ #phdchat

@SueFolley - @NSRiazat yes that is why when I look back I realise this has been a good year for me - achieved loads - so should focus on that :) #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @NSRiazat ill do a page now #phdchat

@SueFolley - @profkrg don't we always wish we had done more though? :) #phdchat

@profkrg - I'm also not sure how I'll get the work done with my kids home. #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @aeratcliffe yes come here for a tweet-up #phdchat

@SueFolley - @NSRiazat that would be a good one for me too - avoid or minimise distractions :) #phdchat

@AmandaMichelle - lol! "@lizith: #phdchat hunter gatherer has just arrived home bearing sustenance - do have a really good christmas everybody. see you around

@Comprof1 - I feel guilty because the family wants to spend time together during the holidays my free time. Dissertation or family? Family wins #phdchat

@SueFolley - @NSRiazat I think we are all guilty of that - I like making spreadsheets of progress instead of doing the work! #phdchat

@aeratcliffe - Looking forward to it! RT @sarahthesheepu: @aeratcliffe yes come here for a tweet-up #phdchat

@dratarrant - @sarahthesheepu me too!!! #phdchat

@Janshs - @DeborahALock pretty good! :) #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Janshs I don't feel like I love it now - but I know I would miss it (a bit) if it wasn't there :) #phdchat

@Janshs - @SueFolley trust me (I'm a doctor!) you will :) #phdchat

@Comprof1 - Good news is all my courses this spring are ones I taught already. Bad news, I have 3 different ones. #phdchat

@ai1sa - @Comprof1 dont feel guilty family hopefully will be there for life, the phd is just a shorter part of life #phdchat

@srossmktg - #phdchat 2012 resolution: more guys, more Yanks, more quants. Hah! #phdchat

@SueFolley - @HelenHickson sort-of same here - so lets hope for a successful completion in 2012 - there seems to be a lot on the same schedule #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Janshs :)) I can't wait to use the trust me comment :))) #phdchat

@HelenHickson - Hello and Merry Christmas to all at #phdchat - thanks for all your ideas and support over the last year. sorry I'm late.

@Comprof1 - Not so sure. In laws in their 80's and son in college, daughter a yr away from college. Last yr we may all be together. #phdchat

@Janshs - @SueFolley tis funny tho to start with you don't realise ppl are talking to you! #phdchat

@lindathestar - Hello everyone. All the best for the silly season, have a safe and happy time. #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Janshs yeah I bet - it was like when I was first referred to as Mrs - I looked round for the old woman :))) #phdchat

@lindathestar - I'm wishing I had more things concluded at the end of the year; ethics finalised, article submitted #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @HelenHickson helps people reflect on progress #phdchat but not in a negative way we can all be supportive

@Janshs - @SueFolley hehe I had roughly 25 yrs as Miss, 25 as Mrs, planning 25 as Dr and 25 as Dame!! LOL #phdchat

@lindathestar - I value so much the support and encouragement I've had from #phdchat, it's made a big difference, so thanks!

@SueFolley - @Janshs fab - like your thinking :)) shake things up every 25 years or so :) #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Comprof1 yes my family will win too - and it should be that way - the work can wait a couple of weeks :)) #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @lindathestar thats one of the things i really love about this group #phdchat

@SueFolley - @lindathestar same to you :)) #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - i hope now that i am over a year post phd you wont all throw me out of #phdchat - my excuse is i work in researcher development now

@DeborahALock - 2012 Resolutions: complete interview data collection - enjoy 30th wedding anniversary & more writing... #phdchat

@DeborahALock - @lindathestar Ditto - this is my student community #phdchat

@Comprof1 - @sarahthesheepu it's important to have those that have gone thru it to speak with #phdchat

@lindathestar - #phdchat 2012resolutions: complete data collection, international conference, & student exchange somewhere

@Janshs - @SueFolley don't know what I'l do aged 100 - 125 .... #phdchat

@lindathestar - Definitely RT @Comprof1: @sarahthesheepu it's important to have those that have gone thru it to speak with #phdchat

@Comprof1 - @DeborahALock @lindathestar I don't have this support at my University so its good to have it from those going thru the same thing #phdchat

@Comprof1 - @lindathestar what places are you looking at for the exchange? #phdchat

@DeborahALock - Anyone else looking to complete in 2014? #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @lindathestar @Comprof1 yay as I enjoy it and learn alot from everyone #phdchat

@lindathestar - Any suggestions for where I should apply to spend 6 weeks or so on international exchange?#phdchat

@SueFolley - @Janshs hmm - you have a bit of time to figure that one out - you could go for an OBE or Nobel prize I suppose? #phdchat

@lindathestar - Relevant to friends with benefits research, or interpretive description, qualitative methodology #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @gawbul i see a good publishing plan for you in 2012 #phdchat

@yukrla - it is very nice and a good support #phdchat thank you so much @NSRiazat @sarahthesheepu

@NSRiazat - @sarahthesheepu # they say that the 'real' work begins post PhD. :-) #phdchat

@SueFolley - @profkrg I'm the same - no chance of peace and quiet with 3 kids around the house :) #phdchat

@Comprof1 - @lindathestar What time of year are you talking about. We've had fulbright scholars (US sponsered). what is your field? #phdchat

@francine_morris - @DeborahALock yes, me! #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @NSRiazat probably true lol #phdchat

@lindathestar - @DeborahALock #phdchat I'm hoping it will be first half of 2013 for me

@Janshs - @SueFolley perhaps, like Bilbo, just "and she lived happily to the end of her days" :) #phdchat

@JackieKirkham - @SueFolley I was really happy to use the trust me comment after my viva, it was so satisfying! Admit to feeling slightly smug! #phdchat

@yukrla - same here, plus kid is always sick...#phdchat @SueFolley

@dratarrant - @NSRiazat @sarahthesheepu that's true lol!! #phdchat

@lindathestar - @Comprof1 I'm open to suggestion, relevant to qualitative sexuality research #phdchat

@DeborahALock - @francine_morris - great are you part time or full time? #phdchat

@Comprof1 - @SueFolley @profkrg I've been reverting to the walk in closet when my husband is home. Where's mom? #phdchat

@DeborahALock - @lindathestar I would love to finish earlier but its not possible #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @dratarrant @NSRiazat ive been busier last five weeks than i have for a long time #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @JackieKirkham @SueFolley @Janshs ~ looking forward to being able to test out the 'trust me' comment in 2012. #phdchat

@SueFolley - @JackieKirkham lol - definitely would feel smug :) #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @DeborahALock @francine_morris ~ am part time so when day job finishes for the day then the PhD paperwork and files come out. #phdchat

@yukrla - @sueFolley @profkrg #phdchat @Comprof1 It is very difficult....I lock myself in a room to work..trying to become 'invisible'

@SueFolley - @NSRiazat @sarahthesheepu please don't say that!! I am finding this stage a real challenge - I couldn't cope with more :) #phdchat

@DeborahALock - @lindathestar If you make friends with someone in Ireland, you might be able to go for one of the EU mobility grant #phdchat

@SueFolley - @yukrla it is hard though - but nice to spend time with family at Christmas though. Wouldn't change that for anything #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @SueFolley @NSRiazat youll be ready for it then #phdchat

@yukrla - #phdchat @SueFolley It is about finding the right balance...a bit of time here, a bit there hoping for maximum perfomance :)

@Janshs - @NSRiazat some distractions are good #phdchat

@SueFolley - @sarahthesheepu I think I will need a very long lie down after submitting not more work :)) #phdchat

@lindathestar - @DeborahALock what is an EU mobility grant? #phdchat

@JackieKirkham - I sit in on #phdchat even though passed this year, appreciate the quality of discussion, can learn and (hopefully) help too.

@JackieKirkham - plus if there's a postdoc equivalent a.I've not found it and b.I'd feel a fraud as I don't have a postdoc position! #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @SueFolley youll get one dont worry #phdchat

@NSRiazat - @yukrla ~ people who understand you have to work in holidays will leave you to it and appreciate that it's only for a short time :) #phdchat

@SueFolley - @sarahthesheepu yay! looking forward to it already :)) #phdchat

@dratarrant - Me to @JackieKirkham i sit in on #phdchat even though passed this year, appreciate the quality of discussion, can learn and...help to

@Comprof1 - @lindathestar If you're interested in the US you'll need to find an existing program since IRB is strict for qualitative research. #phdchat

@sarahthesheepu - @SueFolley i was shattered after partly due to caffine come down #phdchat

@lindathestar - @JackieKirkham Sounds as though imposter syndrome continues even after PhD #phdchat Good luck getting postdoc

@misskatielowe - Missing #phdchat because I'm playing the fiddle at the Firefly in Worcester. My PhD is less stressful than the nerves tonight!

@SueFolley - We really value the people that have already got a phd adding to the #phdchat discussion - it really helps -like having extra supervisors :)

@lindathestar - @Comprof1 I've been thinking Canada or UK #phdchat

@JackieKirkham - Am finding the post-PhD, pre-postdoc/lectureship 'limbo' quite an odd time. #phdchat

@DeborahALock - @lindathestar Some EU money is set aside to encourage research 'movement'. I will try & find the link & ping across tomorrow #phdchat

@lindathestar - @Comprof1 Thanks. Will check out Fullbright #phdchat

@aeratcliffe - Have a wonderful holiday everyone! It has been great meeting you, and I look forward to a productive 2012 for all. #phdchat

@JackieKirkham - @lindathestar oh totally! Maybe when I rule the world I'll stop feeling like a fraud! ;) #phdchat

@yukrla - #phdchat @NSRiazat Patience seems to be wearing pretty thin, so have to juggle being at 2 places at the same time...not good at it yet...:)
