Cambridge University is courting Nigel Farage's Reform Party.
What a scandalous sell out!
Did the discussion include racism, Nazi-allegiances, anti-semitism, and policy / personality links to the global far right?

Haven't posted any reviewer 2 related memes / meme-ish content for a while. So digging this one out of the academia / writing / research meme stash. #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat #highered
Two people standing in a room, one holding a phone (as if on a call) and the other holding a trumpet in front of sheet music. Text reads: "It's the downstairs neighbors again - they say you're technically proficient, but theres not enough emotion." The comment above reads: "When r2 [reviewer 2] is a downstairs neighbor."

This banger from the academia / writing / research meme stash definitely has wider applicability but I do really like using it for coaching, mentoring, and workshop activities when we talk about the importance of saying 'no' to things as researchers. #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat

Doing a PhD can feel like a long hard race towards the finish line, but focussing solely on that endpoint only brings the illusion of relief, writes wearable technology researcher Rory Lambe. He shares how he has found joy during the course of his postgraduate studies:

If you've had any tough days during #AcWriMo, I highly recommend adopting Taika Waititi's expansive classification system for writing. Another handy tip from the academia / writing / research meme stash. #PhDchat #academicsky #academicchatter #highered
Four images of Taika Waititi, each with part of a quote that reads: "Sometimes, writing is opening up your laptop, looking at a blank page on 'final draft' for about 8 hours and then feeling sad and then closing it. And that's still classified as writing."

UK budget yesterday. From August 2028, English universities' tuition income from overseas students will be taxed at £925 per student per year, adding another £2,775 to cost of a 3-year course (or reducing an HEI's income by that amount should they not pass it on). Stupid move. #AcademicSky #PhDchat

Don’t speak to yourself in a tone you’d never use with a friend. You have strengths, gifts, and a trajectory worth noticing. Look for them—they’re there.

Are you going round in circles? Time to move on. Keep writing. Edit later. Just get the words down. You can perfect them later.

In a PhD it’s easy to stare only at what’s ahead and forget how far you’ve already come. Perfectionism blinds you to what’s already working. Take a moment to look back—you’ve made more progress than you think.

Who’s engaging with this crisis—and who’s acting like it’s business as usual, still promoting themselves?

Some PhD days fall out of tune, and that’s ok. You won’t know everything or nail the first draft. What you can control is how you treat yourself. Be kind to yourself. You’re still learning the craft. That’s the process.

Mentioned this pic to our writing retreat folks, yesterday. A good option for trying to write in shared office spaces, too! 😅(alternatively, put a post-it on your own forehead if you are - like me - your own biggest distraction) #AcWriMo #highered #academicsky #academicchatter #PhDchat
Person sitting on a plane, writing something on a laptop. They are wearing headphones and tucked under the headphones is a handwritten sign on bright orange paper that says: "Please do not talk to me. I have no self control and will talk to you the whole flight and I really have to finish this paper. Thank you.

Higher ed loves “critical thinkers” until they challenge the wrong people.

💡 What if academia valued truth-tellers over gatekeepers?

How far we are into #AcWriMo seems to directly correspond to the number of tabs I have open... whenever I feel badly about this, I just remind myself that I defo have less than 7500 tabs open, so I'm okay 😅 #resdev #highered #academicsky #academicchatter #PhDchat
