Update on the current state of my PhD hoe life...

Sprinkles and iced tea for a topless/bottomless lunch sounds about right for the mental capacity I have right now 🤣🤣

you know the "aliens made them do it" variant of the fuck or die trope? i think the funniest possible subversion of this is like... outsider pov, but specifically the pov of the alien xenobiologist phd student who's just like please. please i placed these two humans in an isolated setting with provisions for food, water, waste removal, and sleep. im waiting. please i just. please why aren't they... im STILL waiting. what do i have to do???? please... my thesis...!!!

Day 604 of the PhD

I’m getting close to hitting that mid way point so thought I’d create a vision board to keep me going. It was also a nice procrastination from writing because… damn it’s repetitive. But soon it’ll be hours of marking and then my one week holiday!

So much to do before then… but I have finally started data collection so I’m feeling excited.

does the Mystery Shack have an in-universe wikipedia page? does Stan have his own wikipedia page? does Ford have a wikipedia page that halfway through pivots away from his scientific research to how he (Stan) started up a tourist trap in the woods in the middle of nowhere?

So, do you guys know that:

when Yevgeny Velikhov travelled to the West (in the 1960s when Nikita Kruschev came to power and the USSR opened) he was mesmerized to discover that western scientists were using computers to make their calculations instead of the traditional methods like abacuses (🧮) that were used in the USSR. Since then the scientists in the USSR used computers.

And did you know that Fidel Castro’s son, Fidel Castro Díaz-Balart) made his doctoral dissertation at the Kurchatov Institute?

Kind of amazing, isn’t it?

@fuerst-von-argot , did you know about that?🙀

Day 659 days of the PhD.

Each year at Christmas someone in the family is responsible for the advent calendar. This year it was my sister and she decided to make us little things. I’ve always wanted my own personal library stamp and now I have one!! It makes my PhD books look so cool! Can’t wait to add it to the rest that are in my office at uni.

Happy holidays everyone!
