Great to see Australia's under-funding of PhD candidates making the news. Australia pays PhD students - the engine of University research - an absolute pittance. If we don't raise the stipend to a livable rate, we risk losing a generation of researchers.

#Introduction
So here I am, someone who tried and failed Twitter numerous times, now attempting to get a handle on this I don't know if I'm on the right server, I guess time will tell!

I'm a #PhDStudent at #NewcastleUniversity using #animalBehaviour, #neuroscience, #physiology and #socialScience to improve #laboratory #animalWelfare (jeez that's a lotta hashtags!).

In my spare time I enjoy hunting, identifying, and sometimes even eating #fungi. I also like #photography and #baking vegan goodies

Hey everyone, welcome to #BuzzingWithBibi!

I‘m Bibi and I am a #PhD student in #astronomy and #astrophysics.

In Buzzing with Bibi, I want to talk my challenges, influences, and experiences as the first one in my family to choose the academic path.

Today‘s topic: Struggling with #finances

Thanks for being here, let me know what you think

It is happening!

Join me as I share the highs, lows, + everything in between on my path as a #firstGen student on the road to a #PhD. Let's explore the challenges, triumphs, failures, + the lessons learned along the way. Unfiltered, brutally honest. Stay tuned for ‚Buzzing with Bibi: My First-Gen Journey'!

Follow #BuzzingWithBibi, & share with everyone who could benefit from this series!

My ideas are like Kittens! Kittens in a basket, but the basket has spilled…now kittens are running loose and I must catch the kittens and return them to the basket…but which kittens do I prioritise?! How many will fit back in the basket?! And why is the grey one pissing on my basket!!!

#introduction
Hello everyone!

My name is Ali, I'm a #phdstudent at the University of the Sunshine Coast with #ADHD and #PMDD

My project "The Cost of Human Milk" explores the #value(s) of #humanmilk through the lived experience of those who donate, share or receive human milk. (I've just started recruiting. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be posting more about it soon!)

I balance this with casualised work in the university sector as a #sessionalacademic and #researchassistant (both jobs I love, and blessed to be working with total legends) and raising two young kids.

I'm not hugely active on social media but I do love to talk all things #productivity #notetaking #academia #apps and would love to connect with others who share the same interests.

#introduction for the #newserver

I am Fabrice, a #neuroscience #PhDstudent @ University of Padova
I am moving instances from sigmoid.social, where I've been staying as a deep learning scientist (too many still and only on X, little discussion outside LLMs, )
My research focuses on classic machine learning as well as self supervised neural networks applied to problems in neurology, such as post-stroke rehabilitation.
I've been interested in #perception, #cognition, #reasoning in living and artificial systems since forever.
I naturally love online interactions, but most places I was used to were deeply toxic. I'm liking Mastodon for now!
Feel free to boost around a bit

Currently writing an article that should be 8,000 words. I am now at 17,000 and I, as a beginner in professional academic writing, need some advice. I know I am the kind of person who thinks through writing. This means that I have probably written a lot that can be cut and left out.

But how do I learn to write reasonably lengthy papers? I swear I thought my topic and questions could be addressed in 8,000 words. I had an outline ... with word counts per section. Still, it went completely off the rails.

Will this get better at some point?

#introduction Hi there! I'm a PhD Student at the Structure and Motion Lab in Royal Veterinary College and Moazen's Lab at University College London. I’m into the fascinating world of #biomechanics and #evolution in animals. When I'm not deeply engrossed in my research, you can find me advocating for #conservation and #AnimalWelfare issues. Feel free to say hello if you share the same passion in nature and science! #phdstudent #researcher #scientist #biomechanics #evolutionarybiology
