#as academics its important to stand in solidarity with our fellow humans and our fellow academics who are being silenced for speaking out #academia is not only about education but the betterment of society #campus protests #studyblr #free palestine

TIPS TO STAY FOCUSED

phones: keep your phone in another room, turn it on do not disturb, make your colour scheme black and white, delete apps that have you losing focus, set time limits.

set timers: set a specific time to study for, and then reward yourself with a break. for example, study for 45 minutes and have a 10 minute break; this can be adjusted throughout the day.

during breaks: do not use any devices during your 10-15 minute long breaks. instead, walk around your house, walk outside, stretch, get your legs moving. in your longer breaks, do something fun. talk to friends, family, read a book, watch a film.

sleeping: get to sleep as early as possible and try to sleep for at least 8 hours. sleep is essential to retain memories and without sleep you're likely to not remember anything.

atmosphere: keep your desk as tidy as possible, turn on some lofi music to study with or white noise, whatever suits you best. keep water beside you at all times.

i hope this helps, and i wish you luck on your study journey!

don't study because you need to. study because knowledge is power. study because they can never take it away from you. study because you want to know more. study because it enhances you. study because it grows you.

It's raining outside and I'm lying in bed sipping coffee and reading after studying for a couple of hours <333

dark academia isn’t just for the humanities: i bring you STEM academia.

observatories. stargazing. biographies of scientists. filling the board end to end with equations. hand-drawn anatomical diagrams. the hazy euphoria after finally finishing an assignment. oppenheimer & frankenstein. the uniformity of a circuit board; the chaos of a programming window. ibm’s a boy and his atom. event horizon telescope’s black hole photo. the wonder of studying anatomy and knowing that’s happening within you. sketching organic compounds that may as well be sigils. studying latin for medical terminology. doing problem sets to classical music.

Scientists have discovered a remarkable new way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of cancer cells. Aminocyanine molecules are already used in bioimaging as synthetic dyes. Commonly used in low doses to detect cancer, they stay stable in water and are very good at attaching themselves to the outside of cells.

"If anyone saying that you advocating for Palestine and Gaza right now feels performative, they're deflecting. Don't let them say that. I don't believe there's such a thing as that when you have SO much to risk when speaking against Zionism in Israel. So you have SO much to lose that even if, hypothetically, you are being performative you're about to get smacked in the butt for supporting us and standing by Palestine. If anyone's saying that you're being performative or you're doing too much - they're probably a Zionist. I'm gonna be so honest right now, they want and will say anything to get you to stop advocating for Palestine. And listen to me, I am a full blood Palestinian and I'm telling you to keep going. Don't listen to any other person that isn't Palestinian that's telling you that your activism is fraudulent. Not true. Keep pushing, keep speaking, keep talking, keep going to protests, keep carrying signs, wearing the Kuffiyeh - from a Palestinian herself - keep on going. Now, more than ever, we need it. Please and thank you."

- Palestinian musician and TikToker, Nemahsis.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ���habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

i love studying. i love writing. i love reading. i love learning languages. i love doing mathematics. i love wandering over some particular sum and trying to come up with formulas to solve it. i love physics. i love biology. i love chemistry. i love history. i love literature. i love learning.

not to achieve the perfect grades ever. but it just amazes me that there's so much to know and learn and write and read about in the universe. my curiosity wouldn't get enough of it.

It's been a while! We're finally out of the midsem week (I have one more on Saturday but it's okay) and I am allowed to breathe. I have to submit an abstract for a poster for a conference in 10 days and I am losing my mind a little. It feels like yesterday when I started uni and I am already to the point where I can present my research to a panel of judges. It feels really unreal lol. Truly an experience.

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

I keep writing the year as 23 and not 24 oh god. We have a new food court open in our university (sounds ridiculously fancy, and yes, it is. I can't imagine the fee increase now 💀, the youngest batch is already paying twice of what we paid), and it's honestly very average in taste. 10/10 vibe, though. Makes you forget the uni is in the middle of nowhere with an inhumane climate. I have so much work piled up I'm getting a little overwhelmed. But I have gotten back into fanfic writing so that's one good news.

blegh. I got so lost in the math derivation I’m detaching myself from that and refamiliarizing myself with the basic ideas

my brain is also lagging big time because I spent the whole weekend and then some at a conference so now I’m trying to play catch up (-_-)zzz
