Researcher to Researcher - social media for mutual support

A few weeks ago, Whittaker blogged about #PhDchat, a Twitter-based discussion forum for postgraduate research students.  (Here's the wiki link for PhDchat, too.)

Now, Whittaker learns that there's another such forum, run for research students at Warwick University: find out more about it at Warwick's blog, Researcher Life (http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/researcherlife/), where Charlotte Mathieson posted yesterday about their first live chat session.

And if the support of your peers on your research journey sounds like a good thing, then don't forget about the acclaimed Australian research support blog, TheThesisWhisperer.  ("Whittaker" has contributed to this.)
