Repeat after us - This weekend, I'm taking a well-deserved break from work without feeling guilty, unproductive, or like I haven't earned this down-time. I've done the best I could this week, and now it's time to rest 🥰

The moment I submitted my paper I lost all confidence in it's quality. Anyone else with post-submission imposter-syndrome? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

It is striking that I only get asked to write recommendations by students, when they worked hard on their respective projects with me. Where do the slackers get their recommendation letters from? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #postdoc #phdlife #research
