Support and advice for research students

Have you come across PhDChat?  I blogged about this before - you can join in the Twitter conversation with Nasima Riazat on Wednesdays, follow Nasima's tweets, read the blog or get involved in the  wiki.

Then there's The Thesis Whisperer (aka Inger Mewburn, a research support lecturer in Australia).  This is a fantastic resource - do take a look! 


And here's the THE (Times Higher Education) article which has just come out, about The Thesis Whisperer.

The Thesis Whisperer - first anniversary of researcher support blog

• Doing a PhD?
• Feeling isolated or in need of support?

The Thesis Whisperer is a blog for doctoral research students, by Australian academic Inger Mewburn.  This week she celebrates the first anniversary of a blog that is decidedly going places.  It's helpful, informative and friendly.  A commentator described it as providing 'big sisterly' common-sense advice to researchers.

RSAMD Music & Academic Services Librarian Karen McAulay is a recent contributor to this blog.  We're proud to be associated with such a successful and worthwhile project.
