Can it be any hotter in the #MetOpera right now? They must have the heat on in here. #
@rupertmurdoch coming from the fellow who has destroyed American news by leading it to NewsTainment while cloaking its conservative agenda? in reply to rupertmurdoch #
@dingstweets McCallin & Nayar (2012) Postgraduate research supervision: A critical review of current practice http://t.co/4leSyzwN #phdchat in reply to dingstweets #
@JaneDavis13 Well, hoping they are now in the rear-view #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@JohanAhlgren Congrats #phdchat in reply to JohanAhlgren #
@JaneDavis13 Have you otherwise faced blocks or other hindrances? #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@annetteclancy You are nearly finished as well #phdchat @JaneDavis13 in reply to annetteclancy #
@annetteclancy @JaneDavis13 Yes, even as a speck in the distance is a welcome sight #phdchat in reply to annetteclancy #
@ColditzJB That is a trick indeed; will look forward to reading your research. in reply to ColditzJB #
@annetteclancy @JaneDavis13 Exactly, but the marathon ending is now in sight, while still a ways away #phdchat in reply to annetteclancy #
@JaneDavis13 Goodness, no. Working on my Analyis & Presentation Chapter while filling in my Review of the Literature along the way #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@JaneDavis13 My draft will be tonight as I have 4 opera in the coming week, so no time to write. Not done, but small steps help #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@JaneDavis13 For example, I wanted to submit my next draft yesterday, but life got in the way this week, so it will be by tonight #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@JaneDavis13 Not sure I am following you, but I find I work better by just selecting a date (which I usually pass by a few) #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@JaneDavis13 Ahh; depends on how far through it you are #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@JaneDavis13 Tips for what, setting a #viva date? #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
Been working on my #phd thesis literature all morning; time for an ironing break. Hey, it is mindless movement at least #phdchat #
@Tara__Hughes Good idea; I use the app "Pomodoro" on my Mac to help when I need it #phdchat in reply to Tara__Hughes #
@JaneDavis13 Excellent! You can do it!! #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
I just read what has to be the best overview of the literature concerning doctoral supervision I have seen. Just in time. #phdchat #
@Tara__Hughes Perhaps I should follow your lead #pomodoro #phdchat in reply to Tara__Hughes #
@queercrip OK, resending now that I am inspired by Lana Del Rey. in reply to queercrip #
I just bought some new music to inspire me as I write today – Lana Del Rey: Blue Jeans (Kris Menace Remix). Fantastic. #
@GavinMBrown Neither was I when I started years ago. My own use of it (as well as thinking & research & practice) has developed as a result. in reply to GavinMBrown #
@GavinMBrown Let's hope. While I am not known for my quantitative prowess, I have noticed nearly 10% of all your Tweets are today. Ha! in reply to GavinMBrown #
@GavinMBrown Ahh, attending a family party — that explains why you have done so much Tweeting today 😉 in reply to GavinMBrown #
@damagedidentity Yes, I wonder who can use that idea to develop . . . #phdchat in reply to damagedidentity #
While today is a day to work on my @LancasterUni thesis, I must first finish laundry. Example of a day of research and practice? #phdchat #
@queercrip Sorry; sending positive energy. in reply to queercrip #
@GavinMBrown Agreed; fingers crossed. Perhaps this means the remainder of the weekend will be smooth and engaging?! in reply to GavinMBrown #
Beginning to see Wagner's The Ring cycle this evening at the #MetOpera in #nyc Das Rheingold, here we come. #
@ASBO_Allstar Agreed; I am not a fan of rentals. in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
@katypearce What sort of a shot? in reply to katypearce #
@GavinMBrown Horrible when these sorts of things happen, as if we have nothing better to do. Wonder how spammers profit from that. in reply to GavinMBrown #
@esk_rahimi So have you really been using Klout, or is it just spamming your contacts? @joostrobben in reply to esk_rahimi #
@holisticgeek Haven't seen you much on Twitter recently, so welcome back! in reply to holisticgeek #
@martin_eve Ahh; was wondering if you were going to make a linkage. Never too late to consider it for a next step in your work. in reply to martin_eve #
@GavinMBrown Ouch; horrible when this happens. Hope nobody else gets infected or worse. in reply to GavinMBrown #
@JaneDavis13 Depends on what you mean by first draft; first complete draft or more than just a chapter at a time? #phdchat in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@damagedidentity @pkpolava We just need to make sure we can do so by the #viva #phdchat in reply to damagedidentity #
@damagedidentity @pkpolava You are neither the first nor the last to try but not quite be able to explain the ontology of your work #phdchat in reply to damagedidentity #
@whiteoliphant Ahh. Was wondering if you mean Tweeting the entire thing word-for-word, or more in general about findings #phdchat in reply to whiteoliphant #
@martin_eve Thanks for the reference. Is this related to your work, or more of a related interest? in reply to martin_eve #
@ColditzJB Will keep that one in mind; thanks. in reply to ColditzJB #
@ColditzJB Sounds interesting. What sort of boundaries did you investigate? in reply to ColditzJB #
