Folks. I've just merged all my PhD chapters into 1 actual thesis document!

Things I have learnt about creating a thesis in Word that will keep you SANE...(please comment & add more...keep the magic alive!)

#phdchat #AcademicChatter @AcademicChatter 1. Create Styles for your headings, paragraphs & captions. This will keep everything looking the same, & hidden paragraph tabs will be EXPOSED!

Set size, indentation, bold/italics, colour etc & life will be sweet AF.

Pet Insurance is outrageous in the UK! A thread.

Just had a renewal quote from @DirectLine - monthly premium up from £56 to £120. £120! Per month! For 1 dog! Same happened 2 yrs ago with @MORETHAN.

Expensive & it devalues insurance you're paying for... @BBCWatchdog @WhichUK I'm paying extra so that a single condition can be covered beyond 1 calendar year. But by making insurance UNAFFORDABLE after 1 year, insurance companies are making sure that you cancel & switch, effectively making this specific condition of the insurance unusable! @MartinSLewis

Include history & humanities when teaching in STEM" #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
