@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:47:43) - @merry30 only sometimes? lol, i severely underestimated the extent of the iterative processes required #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 19:47:57) - @SimoneHadley Hurrah well done! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:48:09) - @SimoneHadley great news! Well done! #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 19:48:16) - @EmmaBurnettx Hope so! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 19:48:30) - @merry30 it's not compulsory so prob not official but I asked a couple of colleagues and they agreed which is pretty good of them #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 19:48:42) - @SimoneHadley Wow - Well done! How do you feel? How was your #phd experience? #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:48:51) - @StinaMary i found it (lit review) so much longer than i anticipated also. I then rewrote it in my last year #phdchat (original tweet)

@frauke_wolf (2013-08-14 19:49:27) - @JaneDavis13 @ai1sa So, how did you deal with it? Did you just let it pass and accepted it as part of the process? #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 19:49:32) - @ai1sa Definitely. I'm not anticipating much sleep in the next few weeks. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:49:53) - is it possible to do a phd without tears ? #phdchat (original tweet)

@0lhos (2013-08-14 19:50:07) - @strictlykaren @merry30 #phdchat strikes me as a very good idea! (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 19:50:36) - For me - although enjoyable, analysis is taking much, much longer than I anticipated. I am assured however, that this is normal! #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:50:46) - @frauke_wolf @ai1sa talking about it here and with friends really helps. We are in great company! #phdchat (original tweet)

@SimoneHadley (2013-08-14 19:50:56) - Feel so happy! Having had two kids during my phd makes me believe anything is possible if you work hard (and have a gd supervisor!) #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 19:50:59) - @ai1sa I very much doubt that, and thinking of giving up several,times #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:51:21) - NO! :D RT @ai1sa: is it possible to do a phd without tears ? #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:51:26) - @merry30 my post doc writing life and i still have interrupted sleep patterns, wish i had learned other phd habits ! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 19:51:38) - @ai1sa I defy anyone who says yes to that one! It took me about a year and a half, but I certainly made up for that once they came! #phdchat (original tweet)

@NeilStats (2013-08-14 19:52:09) - @StinaMary My lit review seemed to take forever, but seemed to give me a great grounding and I'm strangely proud of it! #PhDChat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 19:53:13) - @NeilStats @StinaMary definitely worth while taking the time over it. Mine was too rushed which meant I had to backtrack #phdchat (original tweet)

@OTEllenN (2013-08-14 19:53:20) - @ai1sa Probably not because tears demonstrate scholarly angst & investment required as part of transformative journey. #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:53:35) - @strictlykaren was my experience also. so glad for a co-supervisor who responded to my very late night email #phdchat (original tweet)

@bookworm_29 (2013-08-14 19:54:46) - @ai1sa definitely not, but if you are lucky you will get some tears of laughter as well #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:54:59) - @OTEllenN i concur, phd angst came when i feared what i was studying and where it might go to #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:55:34) - Definitely -> RT @bookworm_29: @ai1sa definitely not, but if you are lucky you will get some tears of laughter as well #PhDchat (original tweet)

@gtombs (2013-08-14 19:55:48) - @EmmaBurnettx mine took around a year longer than expected! To some extent still analysing even 3 months before submission #phdchat (original tweet)

@OTEllenN (2013-08-14 19:56:09) - @ai1sa Agree, but for me also signalled the need for some distance & perspective. #phdchat (original tweet)

@anna_d_beck (2013-08-14 19:56:19) - @ai1sa definitely not! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@gtombs (2013-08-14 19:56:32) - @strictlykaren #viva #phdchat fantastic, well done! (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 19:56:39) - @gtombs I'm preparing myself for that too! #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:57:18) - @ai1sa submitting amends mid summer break was probably not my smartest move! #needpatience #phdchat (original tweet)

@0lhos (2013-08-14 19:57:29) - #phdchat Hmm Any1 imagine in what world a Ph.D. journey would b without 'tears'? Anyone else want 2 move there? What do we need 2 get there? (original tweet)

@frauke_wolf (2013-08-14 19:58:04) - Find it so comforting to hear that everyone seems to be going through the same experience. Maybe emotions are easier to talk about..#PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:58:25) - @shaileshak i agree, mine mostly secret. really pleasd when on 2 occassions it was overwhelming & i got excllnt supervisor support #phdchat (original tweet)

@OTEllenN (2013-08-14 19:58:25) - Mine is under examination, almost as stressful waiting as it was writing the damn thing! #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:58:59) - Tears or not, it's an amazing journey with some great tweeps #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 19:59:18) - @EmmaBurnettx that's like me and my transcriptions, taking ages longer than I thought #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 19:59:23) - @0lhos I think I shall keep the tears - they make the good parts feel absolutely amazing! #phdchat (original tweet)

@frauke_wolf (2013-08-14 19:59:34) - on the internet. Semi-Anonymity. But in the office everyone just seems to be all happy and upbeat all the time. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 19:59:37) - @EmmaBurnettx @merry30 i found it felt like putting together a flatpack bicycle- needed constant adjustments front end to back end #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 19:59:53) - @frauke_wolf definitely ... and everyone is very supportive in this network #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:00:06) - @EmmaBurnettx I thought of you when I was going over and over my transcripts. Three phases of coding - took so long but worth it #phdchat (original tweet)

@HelenCoverdale (2013-08-14 20:01:06) - And so it comes to this: thesis minus 2 months, and I'm following @EmergencyKitten for motivation #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:01:28) - @Paully232000 transcriptions took me forever too - got a bit laborious at times but but reminded myself a core part of my analysis #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:02:02) - @ai1sa @merry30 I like that! #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:02:04) - @JaneDavis13 certainly is, I have #phdchat in my acknowledgements #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:02:25) - @Paully232000 @EmmaBurnettx Mine did also, but I found I knew my data even better. I could go right to the part after coding. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:02:31) - @frauke_wolf A case of "fake it til you make it"? I often find going in to office on v bad days forces me to be more positive #phdchat (original tweet)

@ThomsonPat (2013-08-14 20:02:32) - Last plug for post on academic writing in the first person. I argue.. http://t.co/mwfxfOoDaX #acwri #phdchat #phdforum (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:02:39) - @EmmaBurnettx yes I can't wait to get on to analysis full time, even though a bit going on through transcriptions #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:02:53) - @ai1sa Haha brilliant description! #phdchat @EmmaBurnettx (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:03:21) - @Comprof1 @EmmaBurnettx didn't want anyone else to do them as knew useful in the end #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:03:21) - @merry30 ha ha - it's something I doubt we'll ever forget! #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:03:56) - @OTEllenN i can totally identify with that, hope you are not kept waiting too long #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:04:02) - @Paully232000 @Comprof1 definitely agree #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:04:45) - @merry30 @frauke_wolf I thought my sup was the same as everyone else's. Now I realize he was not real supportive. #phdchat Glad I know now. (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:04:46) - @Comprof1 @EmmaBurnettx And thanks to dragon software could have been worse :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (2013-08-14 20:05:14) - Embarking on a PhD needs ambition; the journey needs determination; completion needs pure self-discipline #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:05:19) - @merry30 @frauke_wolf If I had known then, maybe would have been more frustrated. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@frauke_wolf (2013-08-14 20:05:28) - @merry30 Maybe. Or in the words of @amyjccuddy. “Don't fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it.” #PhDchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:06:01) - @HelenCoverdale ha! Just had a look at @emergencykitten, thought it was an academic, have just got a real one this week, Elvis :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@0lhos (2013-08-14 20:06:46) - @shaileshak #phdchat I'd add be about something really really important to you (significant) ? (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:07:14) - @shaileshak Also needs support system. Had a close friend who checked in every 3-4 mo and kept me going. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:07:54) - Much of the time I feel like I'm writing my dissertation in a vacuum, so the one thing that "clicked" today brings dawning relief. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (2013-08-14 20:08:06) - @0lhos yes, indeed #phdchat (original tweet)

@frauke_wolf (2013-08-14 20:08:20) - @Comprof1 @shaileshak Absolutely. You need someone outside the 'crazy' PhD world. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@OTEllenN (2013-08-14 20:08:22) - @ai1sa @EmmaBurnettx @merry30 Love it! Great analogy. :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@HeloiseBreton (2013-08-14 20:08:38) - Working on your thesis for 12 hours a day will fry your brain! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though... #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:08:54) - @0lhos @shaileshak But sometimes I wondered if it really was important or just interesting to me. Google search always helped #PhDchat (original tweet)

@0lhos (2013-08-14 20:09:10) - @Comprof1 @shaileshak #phdchat very much agree (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:09:18) - @frauke_wolf It means the same thing. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Aristotle said acting virtuous makes you virtuous. #phdchat @amyjccuddy (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:09:50) - @qui_oui Yes. When that happens it's so exciting! Need to hold on to those moments. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (2013-08-14 20:09:51) - @Comprof1 True, I have a few... plus trust me.. this #phdchat does rellay helps. thanks everyone (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:09:55) - It's a case study. There aren't many interviews but they'll be analysed in-depth... #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:10:13) - @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 @shaileshak also 'something' - daily running & weekly Ashtanga Yoga helps me massively #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:10:42) - @Comprof1 @shaileshak my support system of a study buddy (other student rather but the cat too!) was a huge part of my journey also #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:10:46) - I realised I wasn't sure how the analysis would be framed in terms of the very small and diverse "sample"... #PhDchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:11:09) - @Schopflin @PhDForum tried to make conditions as like real thing as poss #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:11:16) - @shaileshak Yes. Wish I had had it earlier in process (didn't find until last yr. of process) #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:11:33) - After all, people want generalisations. And that's not really what I'm aiming to provide. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@frauke_wolf (2013-08-14 20:11:46) - @EmmaBurnettx @Comprof1 @shaileshak Agreed. I've ramped up my yoga practice again and it seems to give the stability needed. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:11:57) - #Phdcat MT @ai1sa: @Comprof1 @shaileshak my support system of a study buddy (...the cat too!) was a huge part of my journey also #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:12:02) - @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 @shaileshak something that is completely separate from academia to take mind off #phdchat (original tweet)

@0lhos (2013-08-14 20:12:02) - @Comprof1 @shaileshak #phdchat either way I think we need 2b able 2 defend Y we spend so much of our lives doing the thing (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:12:10) - @qui_oui Have you shared the breakthough/insight with anyone. That's very motivating also. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:12:30) - @HeloiseBreton i got fried, many 12hr+ days, many 7 day weeks. but intensity and lulls worked for me #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:13:16) - So I was wondering, where do I begin with doing/positioning this analysis when I know it's not a representative sample? #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:13:20) - @frauke_wolf @EmmaBurnettx @Comprof1 @shaileshak Literally and metaphorically!! #metoo #PhDchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (2013-08-14 20:13:24) - @Comprof1 thoese were my wishes :) Have it somes times but I struggle to keep them #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:13:26) - @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 @shaileshak wish I'd take it up ages ago. Never thought it would have the effect it does :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@Schopflin (2013-08-14 20:13:51) - @strictlykaren @PhDForum I'll have to get myself sorted. Submitted 2 weeks ago so still busy exhaling. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:13:53) - @qui_oui yes its a difficult quandary; had me stuck mulling how i would ever end my thesis also #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:13:56) - @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 @shaileshak and I have a 3 yr old to bring me back to earth:) saying 'i can write too' as he draws me #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:14:03) - @0lhos @shaileshak that only made me more depressed. Many times couldn't defend Y I spent so much time. Lots of family pressure #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:14:25) - @0lhos @shaileshak Inlaws have been especially tough. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:14:26) - Simple answer, treat each interview as case in itself & then connect to the specific larger issues, instead of biting off too much #PhdChat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (2013-08-14 20:14:30) - @Paully232000 @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 I am good at that – procrastination. But seriously, yes #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:14:46) - @Paully232000 @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 @shaileshak yes, I found a husband then had a baby in middle, took longer that way #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:14:59) - I realised in each one, though participant doesn't "see" or discuss what I'm looking for, it's actually all there. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:15:13) - @qui_oui i openly, reflexively, argued the non generalisability of the qualitative approach taken with a situated researcher #phdchat (original tweet)

@0lhos (2013-08-14 20:16:07) - @Comprof1 @shaileshak #phdchat :-( er ((hugs)) ? (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:16:17) - @qui_oui can't you simply state the position of the research and sample and recognise it won't be generalisable? #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:16:22) - @qui_oui Start w/ that limitation. I had same thing. You are doing theory creation which is 1st step in overall agenda. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:16:35) - I already had this thought, so I don't know why it sort of "clicked" in a different way today for me. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:16:53) - @shaileshak @frauke_wolf @Comprof1 yes, I think there is a time for procrastination as long as not too much :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:17:24) - @qui_oui You will need to justify sample (NOT random, chosen for certain circumstances to gain insight upon which to build theory) #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:17:36) - Sometimes I feel like my research is going to mean nothing because everyone wants quantitative stuff, & this really isn't. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:18:20) - I think that's why I doubt my results so much. Even though I see the interviews & the issues are there. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:18:44) - @qui_oui Problem's when you try to make it sound as if it IS representive. Can't do that at this stage Need indepth analysis of sit #phdchat (original tweet)

@Protohedgehog (2013-08-14 20:18:45) - PhD meeting went well earlier - all impressed with progress. Suggestions: complete a pilot study, and write a review paper! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:19:20) - @qui_oui not everyone wants quant, I couldn't have done what I am doing that way as wouldn't have given what I wanted #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:19:26) - @qui_oui I understand that. I cross between two fairly quant-heavy fields. Though am mixed methods so have best(?) of both worlds #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Protohedgehog (2013-08-14 20:19:30) - I'll try and get up a blog post about progress, you know, because #openscience rocks, and fossils n shit are pretty sweet #PhDchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:19:59) - @qui_oui sounds like an ideographic approach may help justify your approach #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:20:29) - @Comprof1 @0lhos @shaileshak misquote john lennon- life is what happens when we r making other (phd) plans. dont mean to sound glib #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:20:33) - @qui_oui never think that. Qual research offers much more that quant cannot thus contributes significantly to current knowledge #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:21:11) - @qui_oui That's why reflection is so important in qual. Don't let others make you doubt yourself. You chose qual for a reason. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:21:17) - @qui_oui Which research methodology are you using? Good resources on case studies, nestled cases, ethnomethodology, ethnography #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:21:26) - @strictlykaren Thanks, I actually do know what I'm going to do, but I still have these thoughts/doubts. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:21:47) - @qui_oui not everyone :) my current challenge though is how to publish/compress/ the qual to something with wider readership #phdchat (original tweet)

@GECellBiology (2013-08-14 20:22:09) - Brilliant list RT @Protohedgehog: 25 very very real and painful facts about #PhD life.. http://t.co/lyKGnwDkPp #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:22:18) - @Protohedgehog nice to have the clarity for moving forward. congrats #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:22:20) - Sorry for the think-out-loud tweets in the middle of #PhDchat, which probably has a totally unrelated topic today, oops :-S (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:22:26) - Oh, #phdchat, why are you being so interesting? I have words to write before I can go downstairs to drink wine and knit... (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:22:31) - @qui_oui yes, don't think they go away! #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:23:23) - @Protohedgehog you are sounding so upbeat about your stuff, obviously a love relt with it at the moment. nice. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:23:38) - @qui_oui No, I think that's part of process. Begin to question methodology, contribution. In end you'll need to justify. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:23:43) - I know have a solid justification for a qualitative approach with this project, but I still doubt my results anyway. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:24:30) - @qui_oui dont think it was unrelated at all. musing and stuckness = valid emotions (todays topic!) #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:24:37) - @shaileshak @qui_oui 100% agree! #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:25:00) - @qui_oui Isn't that normal? I thought that was normal. It's normal for me. Results, conclusions, all of it, really... #PhDchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:25:11) - @qui_oui not really, was on highs and lows so fairly open #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:25:26) - @qui_oui Sometimes quant is easier. I saw my classmates w/ quan get thru faster. But those w/ qual had greater impact #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:25:34) - MT @merry30: Oh, #phdchat, why r you being so interesting? I have words to write before I can go downstairs to drink wine & knit... <- LOL! (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:25:46) - @merry30 Yes, it is normal to doubt, but I'm mentioning anyway, if only so others can see that it's normal #PhDchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:26:40) - @ai1sa me too, have drafted one paper but it isn't right, good luck with yours #phdchat (original tweet)

@peripsyches (2013-08-14 20:27:07) - @qui_oui @merry30 Doubt is essential. That is what makes us continue the search for sustainable knowledge. #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:27:15) - This also reminds me *yet again* that I need things to simmer for a while, sometimes on back burner, before the answer comes to me. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:28:18) - @merry30 @qui_oui I would have done mixed methods if I didn't have 500 pgs of data (for small sample size) to analyze. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:28:19) - @qui_oui same here - but I find that quite difficult to do sometimes #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:28:24) - Drawing the synchronised part of #phdchat to a close. Seems this topic has a lot of energy in it, what of what helped you THE MOST? (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:28:36) - Another thing that causes me doubt is the low number of interviews. Again, I know it's fine, but I always compare to others' work #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:28:45) - @qui_oui I find that going away from the desk/computer and do something else helps. Always thinking without thinking #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:29:24) - The project wouldn't work if I had 50 or 100 interviews. But I see others doing loads of interviews & think, mine aren't valid. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:29:33) - @qui_oui yes, gogitating, mulling...essential #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:29:53) - @strictlykaren @ai1sa I've finally decided to write multiple papers simultaniously. Sounds weird but not so over whelming #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:29:59) - @qui_oui I did ten interviews. Very rich data but sufficient to generate #GT conceptual categories #phdchat (original tweet)

@peripsyches (2013-08-14 20:30:14) - Never understood most of quant/qual discussion. You have a question. You find a way to go about and answer that question (=method). #phdchat (original tweet)

@StinaMary (2013-08-14 20:30:15) - @ai1sa That's the frustrating part too, knowing in 2 years it will need updating & refocusing #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:30:23) - And I also tend not to trust committee that it's all fine - because they want me to finish, not take on more work. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@anna_d_beck (2013-08-14 20:30:23) - 19 weeks today until Christmas? This means 19 weeks today until big PhD deadline... #notexcitedthisyear #bahhumbug #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:30:27) - @ai1sa reassured you definitely are not alone with the lows; that they are all part of the process; you get through them eventually #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:30:42) - @strictlykaren thankyou, ive just got a writing scholarship for 3 articles from thesis in 3 months (1sept-1dec) #phdchat #acwri (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:31:21) - @Comprof1 @ai1sa I have a few circling too #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:31:27) - @qui_oui But are you collecting other data? I had 1 group, 9 participants, but notes on envir, meetings, supporting documentation #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:31:36) - @ai1sa @strictlykaren great news Ailsa! #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:31:41) - @StinaMary mmm, dont see a way round it....lot like "going on a bear hunt" (childrens story book) #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:31:56) - “@ai1sa: @strictlykaren thankyou, ive just got a writing scholarship for 3 articles from thesis (1sept-1dec) #phdchat #acwri” excellent! (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:31:57) - @Comprof1 Yes. Interview analysis is rounded out by craploads of documents, policy, etc. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:32:03) - @ai1sa @strictlykaren brilliant news - well done! #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:32:08) - @qui_oui I have 16 interviews #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:32:47) - @qui_oui The different layers of data allowed a very indepth analysis. Results gave insights to build theory. Next step, expand. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:32:57) - what got me there- supervisor, studybuddies, knowing what i studied was meaningful, family, & #phdchat :) (original tweet)

@StinaMary (2013-08-14 20:33:15) - @strictlykaren @NeilStats @EmmaBurnettx Thx guys! I must remember the effort will pay off & hopefully give me solid foundations #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:33:20) - @Comprof1 @qui_oui But if you'd used a different methodology you wouldn't have THAT data. Tho, yes, twice as much really :-( #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:33:33) - @qui_oui I started thinking of 20 but, through doing constant comparative analysis, found it wasn't necessary #GT #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:33:54) - @JaneDavis13 @strictlykaren thankyou, so will be to pomodoro's big time! (another great strategy for getting there) #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:34:12) - @ai1sa Sorry, @ai1sa, I don't think we stuck to the theme very well. Though doubt & worry came out strongly...! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@StinaMary (2013-08-14 20:34:40) - @ai1sa I remember that book! Think I am just having a whiny day but the support from yourself & others on #PhDchat has certainly lifted me! (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (2013-08-14 20:34:56) - @ai1sa @JaneDavis13 you will have #acwrimo in November to help too #phdchat #acwri (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:34:58) - @EmmaBurnettx thankyou, am wondering if i can do it...funny...thats what i thought when doing the phd also lol #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:34:59) - @qui_oui I have 36 and I wish I had fewer. (TBH I'd love the time etc to have done 200, but...) #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:35:34) - @merry30 not a problem, doubts a valid emotion also! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:36:02) - @strictlykaren excellent reminder! #phdchat #acwri (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:36:23) - @StinaMary @ai1sa You need that. Limit the time to whine, whine a lot, then let it go and move on! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:36:50) - @peripsyches It's all about playing the game, isn't it, really? #PhDchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:37:14) - @StinaMary excellent. g8 to have #phdchat - you are not alone in phd studies even if at times may feel like it (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:37:36) - @ai1sa Wow that's great, well done! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:37:51) - @qui_oui Welcome. I think I have more than enough as I am going through the transcriptions , so much data #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:38:11) - @Comprof1 @StinaMary funny. i rec limiting the wine ing too. its an unreliable coping mechanism that would leave me hungover! #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:38:13) - @ai1sa @StinaMary ...and there is often one of us around if you need a friendly chat #phdchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:39:15) - @Paully232000 @qui_oui that's what I found! Very rich and unexpected narratives #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:39:31) - I have loads & loads of documents, media coverage, policy stuff, etc. & it was getting overwhelming, has to be organised... #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:39:33) - @JaneDavis13 @ai1sa @StinaMary even #phdwinechat at times too!! #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:39:39) - @JaneDavis13 @StinaMary always :) nice thing about an international community, there really is 24/7 support #phdchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:40:02) - Which is why it's good I remembered: just go back to the interviews, they will determine what documents I draw on for analysis. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:40:32) - Off to grab a cuppa tea. Great session @ai1sa - thx everyone #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (2013-08-14 20:40:58) - @ai1sa @StinaMary ;) #PhDchat (original tweet)

@qui_oui (2013-08-14 20:41:13) - Like each one is a little node that can then be contextualised, expanded, connected to the bigger picture. Which is the goal. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:41:19) - @qui_oui I would say get an organisation strategy early, I didn't for first few months and took time to sort it out #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 20:41:20) - I'm needing to get ready for my day, bye all, great #phdchat ting....am off to learn about how to supervise/mentor - new post doc identity (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (2013-08-14 20:44:51) - @ai1sa thanks for another great #phdchat as always (original tweet)

@Charlesknight (2013-08-14 20:45:08) - @qui_oui Are you using something like Atlas Ti to manage the data and make the connections? #PhDchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:50:57) - @EmmaBurnettx @JaneDavis13 @ai1sa @StinaMary I was doing that tonight. And writing! #oopsnaughty #PhDchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-08-14 20:52:29) - @merry30 @JaneDavis13 @ai1sa @StinaMary ooooo lucky thing! I'm jealous. Have 2 more sleeps before I am allowed a glass :( #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:53:17) - @LBA_OX12 Quant - no idea mine is all graphs & boredom :-). Qual - all my interest comes fr interviewee quotes. Sorry not much help #phdchat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:54:06) - @EmmaBurnettx @JaneDavis13 @ai1sa @StinaMary I'm at the point where I just don't care! Post PhD will be healthier #PhDchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (2013-08-14 20:54:45) - @merry30 Thx for suggestions. Trying not 2 bore myself in writing it up... #PhdChat (original tweet)

@merry30 (2013-08-14 20:55:52) - @LBA_OX12 I know it can be quite tedious. Qual was better than quant but harder because less structured. Sigh. Nothing easy... #PhDchat (original tweet)

@JaneDavis13 (2013-08-14 20:57:49) - @StinaMary @EmmaBurnettx @merry30 @ai1sa #researchwine #researchchocolate oh yes! #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (2013-08-14 21:09:21) - @Bohr_research: @NSRiazat What is, in your opinion, the main challenge that PhD students face? « #phdchat anyone be able to answer? (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (2013-08-14 21:09:23) - @Bohr_research - can't answer for other people bit for me personally it was everything taking longer than I planned for. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@peripsyches (2013-08-14 21:14:09) - @merry30 I would not say that. I actually believe in science and knowledge. But resisting paradigms can be hard. #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (2013-08-14 22:37:54) - @BananaFurby are you at the beginning of the phd or part way through- my response would differ so much depending #phdchat (original tweet)

@_valeriei (2013-08-14 22:46:15) - @ai1sa how about I blame @gsiemens for being the messenger ;-) #phdchat ... Though some people can make a big influence, it is rare. (original tweet)

@savoy__truffle (2013-08-14 22:48:14) - How can it be that these last 8000 words of my PhD thesis are far more painful to produce than any of the other 82,000 #PhDchat (original tweet)

@_valeriei (2013-08-14 22:52:45) - @ai1sa @gsiemens the nicer way to think of it is that altogether, we make mountains. It's never just one person's contribution. #phdchat (original tweet)
