@researchadam No; I was asking if anybody else recommended that text. Alas, nobody did! #phdchat in reply to researchadam #
Surprised to see a sheet of ice underneath the little snow we got last night. The ice must have been there for some time. #
@queercrip What a trip! in reply to queercrip #
@savasavasava I still follow you 😉 in reply to savasavasava #
@JaneDavis13 @Eingang Agree with you both on this one #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@lindathestar I tried Echofon though was not impressed. Perhaps that is the need for the paid version? in reply to lindathestar #
@ai1sa BTW, most punctuation in US grammar happens inside the quotes, though alas a few exceptions #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Yes . . . though your argument is done. Now is the time to spend on cleaning everything up! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa That is still all useful and needed! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
Today is a day for bottling my wine and writing my Chapter 1 #phdchat #
David Whyte http://t.co/uw4pRjZI will be presenting at Pace University. I am not familiar with his work; anybody know of him? #phdchat #

@motjewolf I found this process very helpful as well #phdchat #pomodoro in reply to motjewolf #
@klbz @bevrolet I traveled with an iP@d for a week recently. While I have Pages on it, was brutal to navigate research databases #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@MrsRF How so? #phdchat in reply to MrsRF #
@ai1sa @emmaburnettx So, what is your chapter outline like? #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@JackieKirkham @stevecooke I can't wait to join you in that anniversary! #phdchat in reply to JackieKirkham #
@rjhogue I wish! Well, to be fair, I would simply not have time for F2F support on an ongoing basis #phdchat in reply to rjhogue #
@NSRiazat @emmaburnettx What do you mean " with method combined"? #phdchat in reply to NSRiazat #
@Eingang @ai1sa I have never heard of refs being in a word count. Page count, yes, but not word count #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@qui_oui I need to begin saying, "Great idea! While I appreciate your considering me, I really have to focus on finishing my PhD" #phdchat in reply to qui_oui #
Good news at the end of the day about a course I teach #phdchat #
Very cold though gorgeously sunny outside #nyc #
@lizgloyn Also, the current revision of the #CIQ critical incident questionnaire I revised and used is http://t.co/GYCwgMKP #phdchat in reply to lizgloyn #
@lizgloyn Stephen Brookfield's work with the #CIQ is fundamental http://t.co/H2r0jvp9 he has a link to my paper there; good starting point in reply to lizgloyn #

@lindathestar Good strategy. in reply to lindathestar #
@lindathestar @LottaFriedner Agreed; always remember who can read what we write. Now to knock wood! #phdchat in reply to lindathestar #
@ai1sa Yes, welcome to my life. in reply to ai1sa #
@lindathestar Great; nothing like trying something new. in reply to lindathestar #
@VGoodyear Staring with their names! In the UK = doctoral thesis; in the US = doctoral dissertation #phdchat in reply to VGoodyear #
@lizgloyn CIQ meaning the critical incident questionnaire? in reply to lizgloyn #
@kiakahamcg @martin_eve Good ideas; thanks! #phdchat in reply to kiakahamcg #
I am reframing the structure of my thesis, and think Chap 1 contains too much to simply call it Intro. What do you call it? #phdchat #
I just booked my flight for #nlc2012 so it's official – I am planning to attend. #phdchat #change11 #
@ai1sa Perhaps the wart or mole refers to the thesis; it has to come out and be done with it! 😉 in reply to ai1sa #
@VGoodyear I concluded I will move some of my content around in my thesis, and Chap 1 contains too much to only call it Intro #phdchat in reply to VGoodyear #
@VGoodyear I also found that much of the same specs are in each doctoral dissertation / thesis, but the naming convention can shift #phdchat in reply to VGoodyear #
@VGoodyear I found there seems to be a similarity with American doctoral dissertation chapter format, but not as much elsewhere #phdchat in reply to VGoodyear #

@TeoBishop I fully expect to be! Find your rounding the narrative off a bit rather interesting. in reply to TeoBishop #
Eating at BareBurger in Chelsea. What a cool place. #nyc #
I walked the Battery Park Labyrinth this evening. Invigorating experience. Now for some food for late night research energy. #
@DrGarcia We do what we can! in reply to DrGarcia #
I am humbled by the care and attention to detail my interviewees have shown to my research transcripts #phdchat Truly humbling. #
I received 11 reviewed and edited transcripts back from my interviewees; will send a gentle reminder to the rest later this week #phdchat #
@klbz Better with spite than not at all. #phd stuff can be more challenging than anybody not involved with the politics can imagine #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@klbz What happened? #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@betsyweber Most excellent! in reply to betsyweber #
@HelenHickson Especially as I am making good headway. All my academic papers are in #Papers2 so in good bibliographic shape #phdchat in reply to HelenHickson #
@ai1sa Agreed; it all has to be done anyway! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@trentmkays That is the sort of justification I needed to hear! #phdchat in reply to trentmkays #
@TeoBishop Comment left; really a fascinating experience of processing assumptions and the like. Feel better with your soreness. in reply to TeoBishop #
