My name is Ali, I'm a #phdstudent at the University of the Sunshine Coast with #ADHD and #PMDD
My project "The Cost of Human Milk" explores the #value(s) of #humanmilk through the lived experience of those who donate, share or receive human milk. (I've just started recruiting. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be posting more about it soon!)
I balance this with casualised work in the university sector as a #sessionalacademic and #researchassistant (both jobs I love, and blessed to be working with total legends) and raising two young kids.
I'm not hugely active on social media but I do love to talk all things #productivity#notetaking#academia#apps and would love to connect with others who share the same interests.
Currently writing an article that should be 8,000 words. I am now at 17,000 and I, as a beginner in professional academic writing, need some advice. I know I am the kind of person who thinks through writing. This means that I have probably written a lot that can be cut and left out.
But how do I learn to write reasonably lengthy papers? I swear I thought my topic and questions could be addressed in 8,000 words. I had an outline ... with word counts per section. Still, it went completely off the rails.
