PhD in Gifs!

Me, reading peer review feedback

Tenured profs, way past their retirement age, clinging to the ivory towers...

When I get contradictory comments from my peer reviewers...

Me, trying to write like a normal person after years of grad school training...

My discussant, reading a paper that quotes them throughout the entire text...

When your committee members chime in with their mutually contradictory comments...

My parents, when they hear how much I make, working 80+h a week with three degrees...

When they ask if you want to stay in academia after your PhD...

No one is happier in life than academic execs, tearing down higher education with their little MBA tricks

Every conversation between me and my friends “on the job market”

Trying to talk to men at academic conferences’s like...

Just a girl, drinking to forget all the triggering BS tenured men tell me

When you finally finish your PhD

Explaining to your friends and family what a postdoc is

When a senior academic asks you to co-write and you know who among the two will be the one writing it all...

New semester, new ways to mess up your non-existent academic career

When you finish your PhD and think you’re free but your “outie” accepts a postdoc
