How supportive your PhD supervisor is makes SUCH a difference to not only when/whether you will complete the PhD, but also how enjoyable the process is, your mental health, and your perspective on an academic career. I got lucky with mine :) @keskma
As a PhD supervisor, my motto is “A healthy and supported student is a successful student” Four simple ways I check in on my student's mental well-being @OpenAcademics @CouragePhD @PhD_Genie @AcademicChatter

Read Anna’s excellent blog “Expert Elicitation Explained by an Expert”. Well written and potentially helpful for those who are planning to conduct a study like that! https://t.co/41DmiSzmUD

Ok good start @Ofwat, but any plans on reversing the environmental damage already done by water companies dumping untreated sewage into our rivers and coastal areas? It's not all about money.
