@RyanPharmilton (2013-11-20 20:24:28) - @megan_beech We're still going, don't worry. Feel free to dip in where you can :) #PhDchat (original tweet)

@megan_beech (2013-11-20 20:24:41) - @RyanPharmilton hi! Wanted to join in but was at dinner with friends until just now. #phdchat (original tweet)

@RyanPharmilton (2013-11-20 20:25:10) - @DDbaldie I've signed up to a few journals' mailing lists and RSS feeds, but need to look at the list again. Some aren't useful :( #PhDchat (original tweet)

@lindathestar (2013-11-20 20:25:37) - @nervoxavier @RyanPharmilton @0lhos I'm just getting into Scrivener. Can see its possibilities, yet to be captivated #phdchat (original tweet)

@planetchampion (2013-11-20 20:25:58) - .@JustinCaouette Good link! I would add that if you do enter academia you will look back at the PhD as being easy street Honestly! #phdchat (original tweet)

@megan_beech (2013-11-20 20:26:41) - @DDbaldie I am just looking at starting a spreadsheet for recording search results, hopefully alongside endnote library #phdchat (original tweet)

@RyanPharmilton (2013-11-20 20:27:11) - @lindathestar @nervoxavier @0lhos Definitely something I need to look into. Might be tomorrow evening's "Random Task" #PhDchat (original tweet)

@megan_beech (2013-11-20 20:27:35) - @RyanPharmilton @DDbaldie good idea reviewing them, as an ex publisher I know they alter them depending on marketing strategies #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (2013-11-20 20:27:37) - @RyanPharmilton @DDbaldie same here. Was overloaded with some irrelevant RSS feeds & took me ages to stop them #phdchat (original tweet)

@megan_beech (2013-11-20 20:30:15) - @nervoxavier @theinsightedge @RyanPharmilton great idea, I love mind maps, they really help me focus #phdchat (original tweet)

@RyanPharmilton (2013-11-20 20:30:25) - @megan_beech @DDbaldie Agreed. Some only publicise what they think will have most impact. I've missed useful articles this way. #PhDchat (original tweet)

@megan_beech (2013-11-20 20:31:25) - @planetchampion @JustinCaouette oh gods, just starting mine and it certainly doesn't look easy from here! :-) #phdchat (original tweet)
