"A mind whose only intake is failure cannot possibly produce anything resembling happiness. Ultimately, your life is your project—not the other way around." #PhDChat #AcademicChatter brnw.ch/21wJLII

A PhD student told me yesterday that they really liked my most recent paper because I actually explained the basic concepts that most people don’t bother to explain in their papers. It was the biggest compliment I could have received. I remember being that frustrated student 🥹❤️

I was wary of antidepressants, but they helped when nothing else could Medication helped this struggling Ph.D. student get on the path of healing. #PhDChat #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth brnw.ch/21wJOsa

🧵On the Wiggers diagram. It is an illustration of temporal relations of atrial, ventricular and aortic pressures with ventricular volumes, in a simplified, schematic illustration of the main relations, for basic teaching purposes, but is not the full truth about physiology.
