One of my favourite bloggers is Inger Mewburn, The Thesis Whisperer. We had coffee one afternoon last year, and I was totally hyper (like Tigger hyper) about this wonderful new technique I was using–the Cornell Method. So I wrote a blog post about it and it was pretty popular: it got nearly 2000 clicks in an hour at one stage. So I’m just putting a link to it here… but you should totally go and read everything on Inger’s site, and buy her book too.
I teach research and writing skills at the University of Melbourne. I was part of the team that founded, and still run, #thesisbootcamp with the Graduate Students Association at the University of Melbourne. My book (with Inger Mewburn and Shaun Lehmann) How to Fix your Academic Writing Trouble came out in December 2018. Look out for my next books, Level Up and Your PhD Survival Guide coming out in 2020.
