Kim Reid takes the release of a new Taylor Swift album as the jump-off point to explore the space in a Venn diagram where music, trash films unfalsifiable hypotheses and spurious correlations intersect.
Kim had her first paper accepted in the Journal of Climate and was over the moon but sneaking up behind her was another first she didn't expect - her first bout of imposter syndrome.
It happens to us all, despite our best intentions, a hypothesis doesn't pan out. Kim Reid outlines the six stages to acceptance and some important medication to help overcome the inevitable depression.
If you need to create an academic poster in a hurry, we have a nice template here that can cut it down to an hour and still be effective. Also check out Kim Reid's new PhD blog and find out about the recent combined Centre of Excellence media workshop.
In her first blog Kim Reid looks at a small part of the future of science. Multimedia figures, technology and open access journals may provide a glimpse of what is to come.
