very helpful suggestions for PhD students who need to work at home by @ZJAyres . To add: consider a course in e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign.

Many apparently healthy people are unwitting spreaders of the coronavirus. Social distancing and masks may be the best ways to stop transmission.  nyti.ms/340t0yg

3/ My preference would be the US. I have experience from UK and US now - I found the US Ph.D. system much more holistic. Even better - many top tier biology departments in the US, GRE is optional. Here's a curated list of such institutions - docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Mental health during your #PhD! This should be in every lab, university, library, etc, and also be given by default to every supervisor. Some of our work is resource management and we must remember that *people* are our most valuable resource. @AcademicChatter @firstphdchat

Finding good mentors is critical in every career and at every career stage. Especially in research, an environment that is exciting but also daunting to navigate. Please help the @eLifeCommunity ambassadors by filling out a survey about your experience! ecrlife.org/2019/03/05/asses…

Please do not fall prey to the idea that any activity that does not measurably advance your career is somehow necessarily harming it. You have only this one beautiful life; do not avoid living it for fear that your total productive output might be less than the theoretical max.

Anyone doing your PhD or any other academic document: if you make an account with @Wikipedia then go to Sandbox & then Cite you can literally just copy URLs or book titles or DOIs in there & it generates a full reference! I could have saved days of my life... #phdchat #phdlife

Would any PhD student be willing to gain some science writing experience and write about their life for the Labstep blog? Topics can range from time management, grant applications, coping with disappointment or PhD mental health. Message us for more info :D #PhD @firstphdchat
