If you are a PhD student or tenure track prof struggling with rejection, PLEASE READ THIS. I wish I’d seen something like this when I was starting out. I think this is especially important for us #FirstGen folks to see that everyone struggles with this stuff. https://twitter.com/arthur_spirling/status/1265288466977427456

I shared this recently from my personal account on a day that I was stuck and couldn’t write. If you feel like sometimes you can’t even get words on a page, that’s normal. It really is ok to struggle. We all do sometimes. It doesn’t mean you’re inferior. https://twitter.com/mpfix1/status/1264206706596352004?s=21 https://twitter.com/mpfix1/status/1264206706596352004

Going to share one more tweet in this thread for those of you early in your career. In addition to what @arthur_spirling had to say about rejection, note that most things you see in print have been rejected multiple times. In some cases, many many times https://twitter.com/heatherkevans/status/1265462382811402240?s=21 https://twitter.com/heatherkevans/status/1265462382811402240
