I’m looking for PhD programs that are pretty self-directed? I’m just starting my search for schools to apply to and wanted to reach out for recommendations and places to start my search.
Specifically I’m looking to study a combination of Posthumanism and Community Development. To my knowledge, this would be a very interdisciplinary degree, and thus I might need a school that offers an Interdisciplinary Studies PhD or something similar. Or possibly a degree in either Posthumanism or Community Development, but that is flexible and allows me to study across disciplines.
I also have done my entire masters degree with independent studies (self-designed coursework and evaluation) under various mentors, and I’m looking to continue that sort of learning style (though if I have to take a few structured classes I can plug my nose and dive in, lol).
After watching it, I know why this thumbnail talks to me that much.
She talks about her story in physics research academia, she talked about my future in biology research academia.
Every point she makes in this video, I share them and I’ve been repeating it for years.
I love science, but I can’t do honest science in this system. It’s morally made to make money, and money is the sole reason why people write papers, not truth and discovery.
I really don’t know what I can do in my life with that much passion in a field but no way to practice it.

For my outreach account on instagram, I am running an advent calendar introducing an #exoplanet a day. I call this calendar #ExoAdvent and figured I could share it here too! ⭐️ 🌎 🪐
We continue with another exotic exoplanet! HD 80606 b is an exoplanet in a highly eccentric orbit around its host star, which causes extreme temperature variations.
Caught in the act! PDS 70 b is a young exoplanet which is currently undergoing formation. This means we do not only observe the planet, but also the so-called protoplanetary disc, the disc around the star that hosts the material that eventually forms the planets.
They come in all shapes and sizes! We already know that there a few very large and hot exoplanets out there, but WASP-103 b is a special one. The so-called tidal deformation is so strong that the planet appears to have more the shape of a rugby ball 🏉
Got a little sidetracked during an online workshop the other day; made myself a bow & arrow out of cotton wool tips and rubber bands…kitty was also entertained 😅
Je sais d'expérience que l'étape d'écriture de la thèse peut être extrêmement difficile à vivre.
Alors, je ne sais pas s'il y a des thésards par ici, mais je leur conseille cet outil pour s'encourager et ne pas déprimer d'avance :

Ready to start an exciting PhD journey at Cambridge University, a hub of scientific discovery and inspiration?

My name is Ali, I'm a #phdstudent at the University of the Sunshine Coast with #ADHD and #PMDD
My project "The Cost of Human Milk" explores the #value(s) of #humanmilk through the lived experience of those who donate, share or receive human milk. (I've just started recruiting. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be posting more about it soon!)
I balance this with casualised work in the university sector as a #sessionalacademic and #researchassistant (both jobs I love, and blessed to be working with total legends) and raising two young kids.
I'm not hugely active on social media but I do love to talk all things #productivity#notetaking#academia#apps and would love to connect with others who share the same interests.
I am Fabrice, a #neuroscience#PhDstudent @ University of Padova🇮🇹
I am moving instances from sigmoid.social, where I've been staying as a deep learning scientist (too many still and only on X, little discussion outside LLMs, 🥱)
My research👨🏾💻 focuses on classic machine learning as well as self supervised neural networks applied to problems in neurology🧠, such as post-stroke rehabilitation.
I've been interested in #perception, #cognition, #reasoning in living and artificial systems since forever.
I naturally love online interactions, but most places I was used to were deeply toxic. I'm liking Mastodon for now!
Feel free to boost around a bit
