Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-31

@Lemness @networkedres Thank you for the reTweet! #
@mitchellfriedmn Thanks; adding invitation to LinkedIn is on my list for early next week; part of my plan though I am not the best with LI #
@SarahStewart @witty_knitter That does sound prestigious! How could you know, only hits? #
@CapellaU Doing data collection for research that may be of interest to your doc students & grads; please RT my invite http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #
@UOPX Doing data collection for research that may be of interest to your doc students & grads; please RT my invite http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #
@WaldenU Doing data collection for research that may be of interest to your doc students & grads; please RT my invite http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #
@mitchellfriedmn Let me try something along these lines . . . #
@mitchellfriedmn Thanks! I have emailed some of those individuals, but am not clear how to access their wider populations. #
@allonsdanser @christiepooh You would be surprised exactly what I pack for a week or so. Yes, I wash along the way! #
@DrGarcia 😉 #
@trentmkays You got that one right! To be honest, that was a wonderful surprise about becoming more present on Twitter. #
@martin_eve These competitive things, so filled with issues of power and positionality, are not fun at all to navigate. #
@trentmkays 😉 #
Do you have a doctorate / are a doc student? Troublesome experience? Distance involved? Consider discussing it http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #ir12 #
Do you have a doctorate / are a doc student? Troublesome experience? Distance involved? Consider discussing it http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #phdchat #
@allonsdanser @christiepooh I think I can use some of your restraint! #
@martin_eve Goodness, who did that? No . . . better not mention who! #
@christiepooh @allonsdanser @RedOxxAffairs I am doing on the carry-on and my laptop. #
@allonsdanser Yes, I always travel with only carry-on. This time, however, I need to make sure my bag is not overweight as that was an issue #
@allonsdanser @christiepooh You are both en route to Nashville? #
@christiepooh @allonsdanser @RedOxxAffairs Are you only traveling with Red Oxx carry-on? #
@allonsdanser I use Preview in my Mac and GoodReader on my iP*d to mark up PDFs #phdchat #
@DrGarcia @maedez Enjoy the trip and visit! #
@christiepooh @allonsdanser @RedOxxAffairs I wish Red Oxx would have more social media presence; as if they are trying to keep it a secret! #
@allonsdanser I know there are ways to output the #skim notes, but hard that it becomes 2 files #phdchat #
@allonsdanser You know, I tried #Skim though was not impressed at all that the notes are not saved and viewable elsewhere #phdchat #
@allonsdanser @christiepooh I can't wait to use all their things when I go to the UK in Sept; hope @RedOxxAffairs appreciates my review! #
@JeffRamosPR @salma_patel Agreed, meaning not communication channels work for everybody. #
George R. R. Martin has 4 different books on the NYTimes Best Seller lists including #1 for Fiction hardcover, e-book, and mass market paper #
@continental @United Wonderful experience with Continental support; system asked if I wanted a call back, and gave me its exact time first. #
@sarahthesheepu 😉 #
@sarahthesheepu Nothing like making a strategic purpose for far far far into the future! #
Am very thankful for the responses I have received regarding my study http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 and have a few more channels to explore #phdchat #
I just finished revising the verbiage to use with my requests for additional research participants #phdchat #
I just received an email from #Continental Airlines that some aspects of my flights in September just changed. #
@qui_oui I also wish the buttons to clear read Tweets were a little larger. #
@qui_oui Good to know TweetDeck uses Boolean operators. Wish they made that aspect a bit simpler. #
I wish I could scroll around TweetDeck using the Mac scroll functions. #
@qui_oui Great suggestion! Thanks; will try that and report back. #
@qui_oui Well, TweetDeck used to work better; in the last month or so, it seems to be missing things. What do you use to read Tweets? #
@SarahStewart @witty_knitter Good question about how this is being used. Never really thought about tracking that usage. #
@Eingang Look forward to hearing what you come up with. #
@ianrobsons @JaneDavis13 You have seen the SI journal itself from the SSSI http://bit.ly/q6Ts0e along the way? #phdchat #
@kiwicito No, that is quite good timing. Kudos to making sense of all of it #phdchat #
@GabrielOguda Well, take care with your travel' may the data be worth all the efforts! #phdchat #
@GabrielOguda DOes your data collection have to be in person? #phdchat #
@lizith @ai1sa I had too much driving to do last night; very little wine was in the cards, alas. #
@thesiswhisperer What are your workshops about? #
@kiwicito Congrats on wrapping up that step; quite quickly realized, it seems! #phdchat #
@qui_oui I wish for the old TweetDeck; this new version misses many mentions. #
@antoesp Thank you so much for your future offer. I hope to be finished by data collection by then, though stranger things have happened!! #
@lindathestar I find that achieving #InboxZero is more about the "slow and steady" than the major goals for the month. #
@salma_patel @JeffRamosPR I was thinking more about those with cognitive and functional impairments such as many in the geriatric population #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-30

@JeffRamosPR @salma_patel Potentially so; it depends on the population. #
@jhfrudd Vacaaaaa . . . now what is that word again? #
@Eingang Thanks for the recommendation! Only a few more needed!! #
I have maintained #InboxZero for 3 weeks in the office, and just got there with ALL my personal email accounts as well. #
@savasavasava Depends . . . #
@eoinomahony Excellent; enjoy the time away! #
@JemimaSandhu Conflict of interest to remind the elected officials to do their jobs? #
I like how @BarackObama is giving the Twitter names of various Republican representatives to encourage them to compromise. #
@Eingang @andycoverdale @francesbell I use external equipment for flexibility; the phone, via Skype, and in-person. #
@hautenegro @daciatakesnote Thanks for the reTweet! #
@EvilSue @researchwhisper @BioScienceMum I thrive with the asynchronous chat, as #phdchat happens in the afternoon when I am at work. #
@martin_eve @andycoverdale Thanks for the ReTweet. Perhaps you know somebody eligible? Please have them contact me http://bit.ly/naGrYA #
@researchwhisper @EvilSue @biosciencemum Agreed. I often cannot even locate them, much less use them!! #
@Dr_KG I look at liminal experiences in doctoral students / graduates who encounter learning leaps or aha! moments http://bit.ly/prxlp1 #
@francesbell I use an external recorder + earpiece mic http://bit.ly/q6XBJW – I have since gotten a larger recorder, otherwise it works well #
Beginning data collection for my doctoral thesis http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 – please consider participating and please RT to colleagues #phd #

@researchwhisper @biosciencemum @evilsue What do you mean by "Oz-based chat on research matters" ? #
RT @BERAConference: Only 39 days to go!! Please do not forget to register! /// #phdchat #
@EvilSue @researchwhisper @BioScienceMum Agreed. In ways I wonder what other potential ones may exist, perhaps in more specific forms? #
@salma_patel Thank you! Any assistance in locating participants is appreciated. #
@researchwhisper @BioScienceMum @EvilSue I find #phdchat to be most valuable, though am not active in any other chats, at least not yet. #
@researchwhisper @BioScienceMum @EvilSue What do you envision with #reschat #
@salma_patel I am diversity, in that I am the sole non-phd on the faculty. I teach Teaching and Learning in Advanced Practice Nursing. #
@salma_patel Alas, no. Working on my doctoral research now http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 and looking for participants if you know anybody #phdchat #
@lindathestar Great; nothing better than to get new ideas for your research. #
@salma_patel DNP is Doctor of Nursing Practice, a professional doctorate in nursing practice and leadership. #
@progresscholar Have used Epsilen when teaching in one of the online programs I have taught in. Hated it. #
@lindathestar Sounds interesting. Are you presenting anything? Is this your area? #
@lindathestar Why; what happened? #
@MikeStorrings Looks great! How is the #GoldenGlow convention going? #
@JeffRamosPR @salma_patel Can't just about anything be linked with social media? Why should health care be different? #
@webnemesis Goodness, this sounds horrible. You ok? #
Need to grab a late dinner; better than none at all. Thankful a number of people offered to participate in my study http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-29

Testing #WebEx as they published another patch last night. #
@gconole Exciting!!!! #
@jodieingles27 Congrats! Are they related?#phdchat #
@gconole Tell us!! 😉 #
I am finding a long delay with receiving Mentions in #TweetDeck Anybody else noticing this? #
@mathemagenic Nice to see you here; long time no chat. Hope you are keeping well! #
@Eingang Productive day writing it seems. Cool. #
@TheBluOtter He made a great Grinch. #
Took the evening off; now off to sleep. #
@LeilaMonaghan What George RR Martin quote were you referring to? Alas, I missed the context. #
@ai1sa Excellent! Time well spent? #phdchat #
@qui_oui Was it over 100 pieces in a box that would fit in your pocket? #
@qui_oui Never seen any of the versions of that. I take it this 2009 one did not impress. #
@savasavasava OK, onward and upward. #
@savasavasava Tsk tsk. The life of a full-time student during the summer, I suppose. #
@dmcordell What a small world indeed! I have a hunch the East Village has changed a bit since then. #

Invitation to Participate in a Research Study

Today I begin data collection for my doctoral thesis research at Lancaster University, and I invite you to consider participating in my study. I have all this information, along with the ethical consent form, in a permanent link on my Doctoral (Thesis) Research page on my website.

There are 3 criteria for participation:

1. Are you doctoral student or have you completed a doctoral degree (in any discipline, with any type of doctoral degree, anywhere in the world)?

2. Have you encountered any thresholds or had any troublesome experiences while engaged in your degree that left you with a new sense of your discipline or identity of yourself as a researcher / evidence-supported expert practitioner? Perhaps you experienced an aha! along the way? How about a transformed understanding or perspective?

3. Did you engage in any aspect of your studies from a distance, online, or using any form of technology while engaging in your doctoral degree?

If you answered yes to these 3 eligibility criteria, I invite you to consider speaking with me about it in a single 60-90 minute interview (phone or Skype, as you wish). For more information, my email and contact information are here.

I appreciate any assistance with identifying participants for my study; please share this link or information with anybody who you think may be interested. Thank you.

@savasavasava Did you get much work done today? #
@ElenaGol86 How did you come across it? #
@litreviewhq Agreed, and will look forward to reading about it! #phdchat #
@savasavasava Exactly the same with me. I have been confirming next week's appointment with #TimeWarner every day for a week. #
@qui_oui Alas, I hate that good 'ol boys club. #
@SarahStewart It is moving along nicely. I just got approval to begin data collection, so about to start asking for people / suggestion. #
@SarahStewart @davidwees While not writing my thesis on my blog, it is fully integrated into my research http://bit.ly/lAFxSf #phdchat #
@NSRiazat @jessgrieser @jennacondie @lizith I like #Scrivener though it still has an awkward feel. I do write and take notes in it #phdchat #
With all the nifty search engines out there, is a hash tag # still needed to follow things on Twitter? #phdchat #highered #
@naomi_jacobs @jennacondie @NSRiazat @jessgrieser Agreed. I like #scrivener though it does have a high learning curve #phdchat #
@NSRiazat @jessgrieser @jennacondie What is Twitterfall? #phdchat #
Hoped to attend more than 2 minutes of #phdchat but work calls. Will catch up yet again tonight. Hope somebody records it. #
@SarahStewart Nice to see you here as well! #phdchat #
@savasavasava Getting stuff done does not mean sleeping in! #
@martin_eve Go for it! #
@qui_oui Goodness, what an interesting male-centric academic comment, that there was. #
@eoinomahony You have any strategies for doing this that you can share? #phdchat #
@litreviewhq Any strategies for combining concepts found in the literature that you can share? #phdchat Wondering about process issues here #
@litreviewhq Still combining concepts in my mind, though not with article notes yet. As always, am drowning in reading #phdchat #
@klbz Interesting idea. Seems related to my area of research – http://t.co/Ut8inak #phdchat #
@robinyap Thanks for the encouragement; I can use as much as I can get! #
@dmcordell What acquinated you with the East Village? #
The fantastic dinner at Taureau in the East Village was wonderful, especially as we shared 3 different fondues along the way #NYC #
