Nobody likes to say no ... but we have to, in order to prevent burnout. So here are some thoughts on how to say no to an offer or opportunity. #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
Difficult time saying no? This new video may be for you.... How to decline in a polite, professional and definitive way. #phdlife #Academia youtu.be/X-0PWlT2tL8
This is a question I am often asked: should I apply for this, am I a good enough fit. The video explains this.
New video out: Should I apply for this job? Do I match the things listed in the job ad closely enough? Should I apply for everything? I made this video to help you decide which (academic) job to apply for. #Postdoc #AcademicChatter youtu.be/5aY_HcLrMu4
Let me know if I forgot something....
New video is out: Differences between a MSc and a PhD Not knowing the difference between these two degrees can lead to problems at the start of a doctorate. I hope this video helps. #AcademicChatter #phdchat youtu.be/4c8TX9AJPNg

Everybody gets their papers rejected. See my video about this: youtu.be/ZpZNTEHVmdw
Rejection is inevitable in science (this week we had quite a few rejections here...). It can be a sign that you are pushing the boundaries of knowledge and challenging the status quo. Be proud of your courage, creativity, and curiosity. #research #creativity
