Life of an in limbo scientist. Is it important to Stand up for Science? July 1, 2016. So, here’s a question… What do you do when you see science based headlines in the news? Do you accept the story because it’s filled with facts and figured? Do you totally disregard it because no doubt it’s been sensationalised? Or are you somewhere in the middle of that spectrum? Can you spot bad science – what do you do about it? Okay, so maybe that was more than just “a” question but really, what do you do? Lend yours...

Long Breaks vs Short & Frequent – thatsaplan
https://thatsaplan.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/long-breaks-vs-short-frequent
Life of an in limbo scientist. Long Breaks vs Short & Frequent. October 17, 2016. For this post I decided to address a question I get asked quite a lot – is it better to have one long break during the year or have multiple short/quick ones throughout it? Both of these have pros and cons. So let’s start with a Long Break. There is enough time between the beginning and end to actually relax. You have something big and exciting to look forward to. You are taking a big chunk of time out of your research/work.

Life of an in limbo scientist. 5 things every phd student should have. November 22, 2016. November 22, 2016.

Diary / calendar – because well, how else are you meant to keep track of the HUNDREDS of things you have to do in a day? A decent water bottle – keep hydrated people! Let’s move to Spain! What do you do?

Life of an in limbo scientist. April 16, 2016. Anyone else love it when the sun shines? It can completely change the mood of people, a town, a university and even a country. So it’s no surprise I’ve been having more good days than bad this past few weeks and it is a great feeling! The same fears are still there but I feel so much more motivated to get out of bed and tackle the stacks of paper (electronic and physical). It really does make a difference! So lets make the most of the rays! Is it a Break?
