Day two of the @SocSciScotland student symposium kicking off with Dr Gordon Spark sharing ways to improve academic writing #PhDthrive

Something that is so important to remember .. we touched on this at the @SocSciScotland #PhDthrive symposium last week in Dundee and it really made me stop, think and take note. #phdchat #PhDlife

‘Give yourself permission to write badly.’ Great advice by Gordon Spark about just getting the words down on the page- love this quote from Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott #PhDThrive @SocSciScotland

As part of today’s advice from Dr Searle at the Symposium, decided to treat myself to dye my hair purple again & watch #RuPaul as part of my 2/5 a day for my #MentalHealth We all have diff ways of looking after ourselves 👀 #treatyoself #PhDlife #MentalHealthMatters #phdthrive

Looking forward to the next two days at the @SocSciScotland Student Symposium @dundeeuni with @BthCrns and @StephJCrisp #PhDthrive

2nd day of @SocSciScotland student-led symposium on phd survival #phdthrive #phdlife at @dundeeuni. Dr Gordon Spark on writing: finding one's voice, time management, #procrastination and writer's block ("just try writing badly")

It was a pleasure meeting Les Back @AcademicDiary 2day at z #PhDThrive_Connect event. Les interviewed me back in 2014 when I was applying 2 #GoldsmithsCollege, & after all these yrs, we finally met in #Glasgow—where he now serves as z Head of Sociology at @UofGlasgow @UofGSocSci.

Was a great experience to hear everyone’s creative side especially the other great speakers inc. @AnnaHenschel, and get to talk a bit about mine with @SocSciScotland. Tried to summarise my talk in a single tweet below! #PhDJourney #PhDThrive #PhDLife

...And I would keep interviewing but I stopped counting how many I had after I hit 150, and I am now spending days and hours transcribing... :) :/ Hope I'll have the opportunity to do something like that again in the future... #Fieldwork #PhDlife #phdthrive #phdchat
