'Discussion around all aspects of academic reading/writing at PhD level'

#phdchat tweet log - 28th November 2012

@XarahC - @londonaesthetik @lizith @Comprof1 @EmmaBurnettx likewise. Sometimes just too hard on your own... #phdchat #phdmorning

@mkooleady - @SueFolley #phdchat Okay. So, I'm not alone in feeling this way. What do you recommend? Any tonics? (Alcohol? Ha ha ha!) #phdchat

@explorstyle - @BenAveling @academiccoaches Sometimes the only way to move ahead with a piece of writing is by 'letting go': http://t.co/YCAEBqxa #phdchat

@XarahC - @0lhos thanks :) Do you meet f2f at all? I'm distance & pt, and whilst I made a few close contacts at uni it's latterly been more #phdchat

@mkooleady - @Comprof1 @SueFolley Isn't it a strange pschology? Obviously, if passed, then it's not rubbish. But, still . . . #phdchat

@gawbul - @LittleMissTcell @Evernote is box ticking & so much more ;-) Not everyone's cup of tea but has become my #PhD management centre! #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Comprof1 @mkooleady I don't think it is normal practice here - but didn't ask either :)) #phdchat

@mkooleady - @Comprof1 @SueFolley No, at my viva (Lancaster), no visitors. But, my supervisor took notes. #phdchat

@XarahC - @SueFolley so big night out in Leeds/Huds when you've done alts then? Just to remind yourself of your achievement! @mkooleady #phdchat

@JaneDavis13 - @XarahC @lizith @londonaesthetik @Comprof1 @EmmaBurnettx Aaarrgghh - I always have to finish the paragraph! #phdchat

@mkooleady - Night all! Must run . . . send more tips about post-viva anxiety! #phdchat

@SueFolley - @XarahC ooh that would be fab - we could celebrate you submitting too :)) #phdchat

@Gtrombone - If I have one piece of advice for PhD #twitterstorians it's to give talks outside academia. They are useful and challenging #phdchat #acwri

@SueFolley - @Comprof1 @mkooleady i am def going to go to graduation - we get to wear a sexy floppy hat! :)) #phdchat

@planetchampion - so Monday I have my famous session on action research with the phd students How to make it the talking point of their year again? #phdchat

@piprrr - I saw a campus event for "latex lounge" and thought it was a #LaTeX workshop; but it's a safe sex workshop, instead. #phdchat #phd

@Comprof1 - @SueFolley @mkooleady So do we! Our robes are velvet also. Great for winter but those that grad in May died of the heat! #phdchat

@0lhos - @XarahC very rarely if at all, hence this experiment in twitter. Know what you mean about #phdchat

@SueFolley - @Comprof1 @mkooleady lol - that would be useful in England! :) #phdchat

@debbiefuco - @academiccoaches Advisor told me to stop reading when you begin seeing the same names in the reference lists. #phdchat

@debbiefuco - Agree! RT @academiccoaches: @lizith Reading more can be used as procrastination tool: oh, just one more, then five more. #phdchat

@David_Small1982 - Just found out viva is at 11am next tues, already started second guessin if that means i'm in for a hard time!! Pointless i know!!! #phdchat

@AoifeSMcKenna - #Academia #phdchat Academics who do too many things http://t.co/lGBZFHED @thesiswhisperer @networkedres @mark_carrigan @PhD2Published

@debbiefuco - Agree! RT @NSRiazat: Tonight's #phdchat has reminded me what a vibrant lrnng cmmnty we have & how freely pple give of their time & ideas.

@debbiefuco - So, true! Thanks, everyone! RT @londonaesthetik: @NSRiazat it really is a rewarding time of the week. Very supportive #phdchat

@debbiefuco - @SueFolley Hey, how are things since passing yours? #phdchat

@SueFolley - @debbiefuco not too bad thanks - working on my corrections. Good luck with your defence! :)) #phdchat

@debbiefuco - @Keenfor2014 Mine is at 10am on Tuesday! Good luck! #phdchat

@debbiefuco - @SueFolley Thanks! Getting nervous. Did I read you are walking in the ceremony? When is that? #phdchat

@RHMcPhillips - Hmm if only conversation analytic transcription could be done while listening to music... #qualitative #Sociology #psychology #phdchat

@BenAveling - @explorstyle I wasn't talking about pruning, as valuable as it is. I was suggesting "rewrite from memory" as an editing technique. #phdchat

@explorstyle - @BenAveling That's interesting. Maybe your approach is similar to what I call blank-side-of-the-page writing: http://t.co/EElCCDAL #phdchat

@SueFolley - @debbiefuco no not yet - was just saying I would attend the ceremony.. not finished my corrections yet :( #phdchat

@markjbradford - @NSRiazat frightening BUT inspiring. sorry, i had to leave the #phdchat early today had to pop out back & cut a few trees down! (true:))

@markjbradford - @academiccoaches i wonder if its more 'playful' ... being 'open-minded' ... #phdchat
