I spent 7 VERY long years working on my PhD. There are so many things that would have saved me years, had I just had access to the right information from day 1. What do you wish you were told on the first day you started your program?
In fact, there were so many things that I would have liked to know, I decided to write a short book on the subject. If you are interested in learning more about it (publishing later this year), follow me @MGLemieux!
This is also a great read:

Irrespective of how MPs vote this afternoon it’s EU leaders who have final say on an extension to the Brexit process. Will they/won’t they say yes? How long for + how punitive will conditions be? Like so many things to do with #Brexit the answer is: we don’t know for sure yet 1
French, Dutch, Spanish and Irish leaders have been talking tough this week: They won’t grant an extension unless the Prime Minister comes up with a very good reason, they say. It’s true: Eu leaders are frustrated, irritated and fatigued by the Brexit process BUT 2
EU leaders also have two specific audiences in mind these days when they take to the cameras on Brexit i) UK MPs whom the EU wishes to help pressure into voting for Theresa May’s negotiated deal or something else realistic and /3

Here's the thing about inclusiveness ~ the theme of this year's #IDPD2018. I can only speak for here in the Uk but my husband has a lifelong cognitive processing disorder, a learning disability; Asperger's...I don't like to reduce him to a word but I will for these purposes...
He is permanently excluded from many aspects of society, both by his disability & by the fact that there is very little support for adult- diagnosed Asperger's sufferers; which need not entail nearly as much suffering as it does. He has tried to work many times. He always tries..
So hard & pits every ounce of his energy into it, often to his own detriment. He always fails, partly because others don't understand or can't cope, or because he has been sent to an unsuitable job by the job centre & so has been set up to fail from before he even starts..

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of #Curitiba, southern #Brazil!
This region is famous for being cold and cloudy (yes it can be cold in Brazil!).
It is also famous for its very endemic and beautiful #Araucaria pine trees. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network @500womensci /1
#Actions speak louder than words! I am thankful for my parents for being who they are. Both always showed love for Nature, different interests and #curiosity! So no wonder by observing them I grew up to be a very curious girl who really loved Nature. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network /2
During High School I became fascinated by the #mendelian #genetics classes and the work of #gregormendel! I also loved studying animals, ecosystems and climate so the obvious choice for me in University (@PUCPR_oficial ) was BIOLOGY!! @IWS_Network #womeninscience #voicesIWS /3

Sitting in the parking lot outside my gym. Tuesday, my friend Joe, the owner, posted a suicide note on his blog and then killed himself. I knew he was troubled; I had no idea how troubled. I wish I’d asked.
Joe was a right winger, and a curmudgeon. He was also a contrarian, which is part of why we were friends. A friendship that began in sharp disagreement and continued through lively disagreement — & also his generosity.
After I had two very unexpected heart attacks at 44 two years ago, Joe asked me to join his gym. I knew I needed more exercise, but you know, it was expensive. I was looking for excuses. So Joe gave me a half price membership. I wasn’t the only one, I’d learn.

SCOOP: National Security Adviser John Bolton and his aides are considering eliminating the White House's top cybersecurity job: subscriber.politicopro.com/cybersecurity/…

Several sources say the situation is fluid, but one says it's a done deal.

The White House did not deny my story when I asked.
.@RobJoyce45's last day as WH cyber coordinator is Friday.

Bolton and his deputy, Mira Ricardel, are discussing the idea of her taking over supervision of the National Security Council's cyber team.

Bolton, per one sources, is not very interested in the nuances of cyber policy.
"There’s a serious concern on the [NSC] right now, particularly the [cyber team], of what the fate of their directorate is moving forward," one former official told me.

The source described morale on the team as "low."

THREAD >> I was really looking forward to the Government’s much anticipated Green Paper on young people’s mental health.
I’m flattered they’ve taken a proposal from our 2015 Labour manifesto (p.47) action.labour.org.uk/page/-/A4%20BI…
But why must we wait for a 4 week waiting time target for CAMHS to be “phased in” beginning in “2019”? Everyone - young people, parents & teachers - say the longer people have to wait, the more likely it’s going to impact adversely on their life & ability to go to school/college.
