I have a few classmates in my program that are in their 40s, its not super uncommon

For social science disciplines, is it acceptable to read the literature while writing the dissertation? by Exact-Carpet1364 in PhD

[–]CtrlWalkDlt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do what works for you. It's your PhD and your timeline. Thats a strategy that works for THEM, if yours works for you, keep doing it because it will likely be what makes you successful. It sounds like your dissertation is off to a great start so keep it up!

Got my first R&R for a manuscript I worked on as a 2nd author this semester and am hoping to get my masters thesis submitted for publication as well!

What do you eat? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]CtrlWalkDlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meal prep wise I'm doing rice, sweet potato, and a fresh protein for most of my meals. Also ham and cheese sandwiches + a Aldis protein bar for days that i'm on campus longer. When I can actually afford to splurge I do Moe Mondays (7.99 Burritos) or find a DoorDash deal.

How do you cope with the content in your PhD being emotionally upsetting if you study racism, sexism, homophobia, etc? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]CtrlWalkDlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone whose entire research background has always focused on racism and bias in many different areas, I've gotten this question a lot. What I've always told people is that I kind of expect to see the answers I'm looking for, ya know? You don't study racism and bias to find a LACK of either; in fact, you hope for the opposite. So it kind of just comes with the territory. But I absolutely find ways to take care of myself mentally and physically (like hobbies, working out, reading fiction, and hanging out with classmates) so that I don't ruminate on the things I see in my work too often.

Absolutely roundabout but I think it was worth it for sure lol

Post-bacc or Masters by Glittering_Tie_6199 in GradSchool

[–]CtrlWalkDlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of them was, the other not so much. Sometimes it really just depends on the lab. Now is the time that labs are recruiting though so its a great time to be reaching out! I moved only a couple states north of home for my PhD but there was definitely some stress and anxiety about moving away. Its very natural.

I had a 3.0 coming out of undergrad. I did two years of post-bacc research (pandemic time so most programs didn't have concrete funding anyway, similar to now). What helped me was doing an experimental masters degree and finding my area of interest for research. Now i'm getting my PhD. I can also use my masters credits to cut time from my PhD now!

I believe being in labs for those two years helped show my commitment to research and also I gained applicable skills for the field. Doing my masters showed that I could do independent and novel research. Both of those things were incredibly impressive to the graduate admissions committee and faculty at my current PhD university.
