Gunnar Peterson presents his thesis on the agricultural property history of easternmost Östergötland AD 200-1600 after 33 years on the #PhD programme! Torun Zachrisson is an expert opponent. 
Long stays on the PhD programme were common in the #Humanities before the 1998 Tham reform. I was there for 9 years.
In #ClimateScience, some names echo through time—Klaus Hasselmann is one of them. Our founding director and #Nobelprize winner was also chairman of the founding committee of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
In 2022, PIK dedicated a lecture hall to Hasselmann, where our #PhD candidate Vidur Mithal recently enjoyed a workshop on climate impact modeling. A great reminder of Hasselmann’s impact on climate science & the connectedness of the climate science community.

My post about the multiple PhD TV trope got me thinking ...
What field would you get a PhD in if you were to get one? Or if you have one, as a second degree?
For me: anthropology. I'm pretty sure. I've thought about that many times.
I’m flying to Disneyland tomorrow to celebrate ten years since my #MultipleSclerosis diagnosis plus getting ready for my #PhD coursework to begin in a couple weeks. Woohoo! Happy May! It’s kind of fun packing up text books and such. #MSiversary #disney

I can't believe I'm about to defend my dissertation (in #environmentalPsychology) and go on the academic market when the entire academic establishment is being attacked from multiple fronts.
From hiring freezes to threats to academic freedom to replacement of core research skills with AI. Honestly holding very little hope for my future career. I don't even think passion is enough to get me through this
Breaking news: Leiden University plans to end ("phase out") its artistic PhD program PhDArts and the associated Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA), due to the governmental budget cuts.
This has been officially announced on the university's website, see the link below.
[Disclaimer: I'm involved in this program as an external supervisor of one PhD candidate.]
