Things I wish I had known before I started the PhD: A thread 🧵

Part II

#AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdchat @OpenAcademics Be patient. Don't expect to learn everything in the first month or the first year. One step at a time. One day at a time. If you want to consolidate your knowledge, give yourself time and make the most of each phase of the process. Don't gobble up time, try to savour it.

Things I wish I had known before my thesis defence: A thread 🧵

#AcademicTwitter @OpenAcademics
@AcademicChatter Take a few days to read your thesis carefully. After so many years it is natural that you will not remember all the details. You should know better than anyone what you have done and how, so thinking about it quietly can be very useful.

Things I wish I had known about academic writing: A thread 🧵

#AcademicTwitter Before you write, read, as much as you can. Ideas will come to you as you do it. Look closely at how other authors build the text, present data, link ideas. Reading other works will be a great help in writing your own.

Things I wish I had known before I started the PhD: A thread 🧵

#AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdchat @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice Doing a PhD is difficult and takes years of effort and dedication. At first, you will probably not quite understand what you have to do. Don't panic. Give yourself time, little by little you will learn and understand.
