Hi folks,
Yesterday, I filled in Hector about our plan to use some of the PhD lab sessions for a semi-structured dialogue between supervisors and PhD students about 'hidden curriculum items’, such as career tracks, career steps, what’s important and what not, REF/TEF, wellbeing (imposter syndrome, dealing with rejection) etc.
He likes the idea a lot and made the following book suggestion:
Marc Bellemare (2022) Doing Economics: What You Should Have Learned in Grad School ― But Didn’t (paperback costs £19.44 on Amazon)
This looks like exactly the type of resource that could fill in some of the gaps we identified yesterday. I ordered my copy already.
@Simon: Do you know of a similar resource that’s less Econ-specific and that would be more appropriate for Johanne?
Best,
Till

Dear PhD lab,
Just a reminder to keep checking the PGR Research Development Programme (see below).
A few of these workshops have been mentioned by you today, but I thought it to be prudent to re-link this so everyone is aware.
Some of these sound promising.
Best,
Till

Hi Everyone,
I am really sorry but I have an urgent issue with my house to deal with tomorrow that requires a surveyor to come out. I really need this to be dealt with.
Sadly this means I will need to miss tomorrow's session as well as Elanor's presentation.
Kind regards,
Craig

Hi folks,
I managed to convince timetabling to allocate rooms to us for the entire term instead of having to book them over and over again every two weeks.
I have updated the rooms on MSTeams, so they should be visible to you there (and I believe they should have made their way into your calendars).
But for safety, here is an overview of the rooms:
Wednesdays 11:00–12:30
24.01.2024 - C.2A9
31.01.2024 - C.2A9
07.02.2024 - C.2B86
14.02.2024 - C.2B86
21.02.2024 - No PhD lab: Instead: BSMP Thesis Development Session 1
28.02.2024 - C.2B76
06.03.2024 - No PhD lab: Reading Week
13.03.2024 - C.2B76
20.03.2024 - C.2B88
27.03.2024 - No PhD lab: Instead: BSMP Thesis Development Session
03.04.2024 - C.2B88
10.04.2024 - C.2B88
Please note that on 21/02 and on 27/03 there will be no PhD labs because the SSFC (student-staff feedback committee meetings) are taking place at the same time. Instead, you are cordially invited to give feedback to our MSc students who are presenting their ideas for their upcoming dissertations. I believe your feedback will be extremely valuable to them. Not least because four of you (Liz, Katie, Jayne, Johanne) have been through exactly the same process before!
Best wishes and see you this coming week.
Till

Dear PhD lab,
I hope you had a good start to the year.
The Spring term is starting next week, and we should try to find a time slot that works for us all.
It may be difficult this term, as I have tons of teaching this year. I am attaching my schedule so you can feel a bit sorry for me. :-)
The first two seminars on Thursday are done by Jayne, another lab member.
So: realistically speaking, there are only two or three time slots I can realistically do:
* Wednesday
* Tuesday after 2pm
* Friday after 3pm
Can we make this work?
Best,
Till
