I started my PhD journey without knowing anything about the process or academic life. But the last 4 years showed me that it’s fun, exciting, and rewarding.
Yesterday I defended my PhD.
I am happy, relieved, and eternally grateful for everyone who helped me get here 🙏🫶

I am finally at the stage of realizing that asking a person “how is your research going” or “when do you plan to submit the manuscript” is almost as inappropriate as asking a woman of when she is getting kids.

Judge Charlesworth is delivering what she promised 🙏 the ICJ needs more members with feminist views on international law
A lot to unpack in the ICJ advisory opinion on Palestine, but I want to highlight the important intersectional analysis, including on the basis of gender, in Judge Charlesworth's declaration--something that we don't often see from the ICJ. 👏🏾

This kind of posts just freak me out. As an ECR soon to be on the job market,what should I expect if now even pre-docs have publications?
Let’s have an honest conversation, ppl from hiring com-s: what are the current real expectations for PhDs trying to get an academic position?
My jaws keep dropping as I go through 70 PhD applicant files. People w/ 2 coauthored papers & an interesting solo writing sample don’t even make it to the top 10 in my pile.
The level of knowledge, research experience & passion these kids bring to the table is just remarkable! 🤩

ok, an honest conversation: what is the purpose of citation formats? Is it more for a visual appeal or there is actually a purpose of sticking to one particular style? I don't see the added value of special rules as long as the author, title, page, volume, and link are there
