Beautiful, as always! I love the sparkles on the dress and hat :D
Hello!!! #PortfolioDay I'm nono. I love drawing fan art!! I especially draw works related to the Legend of Zelda. I'm having fun drawing the pink-haired female version of Link🗡️🛡️
Thankfully I'm at a better place now with a department chair who isn't an ass, so things are slowly improving
Yup, that's a perfect description of the advice I was given. My post-PhD life has been trying to recover from that, but having a terrible visiting position at a place where the admin was terrible to visitors (a fact I found out after) and the pandemic happen during my time there was a big setback :(
New data on PhD student mental health: "By the 5th year of studies, the likelihood that PhD candidates needed mental-health medications had increased by 40%, compared with the year before study" This is why, when giving advice to students, I always mention self care www.nature.com/articles/d41...
PhD students in Sweden accessed mental-health services at increasing rates as their studies went on.
The advice I got when burning out in my 4th year was basically "you've already come this far, it'd be a shame to stop now". I did finish, but I did NOT leave grad school with good mental health... I wish self care was emphasized to me, instead it was just dig in and push through.
