I think that everyone got betrayed once
I successfully defended my dissertation on AI and Misinformation and this was my dedication
Last few months
Incredible take from an economics professor (take 2)
Just gonna leave it here
Huzzah! I am now have a doctorate!
One of the hardest parts of PhD life honestly seems to be housing costs now
Got my first email from a parent today
What are some of the worst examples of PhD underemployment you’ve ever heard of?
Fellow scholars it is with great glee I come to share the news of my corrections on my thesis having been accepted
I’m an Aussie - so slightly different process but officially a Dr!

🏆
Unpopular opinion: the hardest part of a PhD isn't the research. It's maintaining continuity across months of interrupted work
How do people afford grad school?
Does this sub reflect the real split between fully funded and self-funded grad students?
How do people learn to ask better questions?
How do I learn to think for myself instead of going blank when I’m unprepared?
Taking a massive pay cut to fund my Master's. Friends thinks I’m crazy, but I’m tired of "playing it safe.”
I don't hate my thesis. I hate how much time I spend re-reading things I've already processed
Why does my PI say ‘We’ve done that already’ but not a single paper from the lab states its been done?
If you had a low GPA in undergrad, were you still able to get into a grad program?
No clue
