I am happy to announce that there’s a new PhD-centric community hosted on Lemm.ee: @phd
Do you have a #PhD, or are you interested in getting one? Are you on #Lemmy, or are you thinking about checking it out?
Come join us, and help us build an open, inclusive, and supportive community, where topics related to PhD degrees, research, and academic activities can be discussed, shared, and reflected upon.
Getting a PhD just means you are willing to do whatever it takes to appease the system. They are political rather than intelligence based. Not to say a PhD is meritless. But they don’t impress me. Bootlicking isn’t a skill I’m interested in.
