I kept a research journal as a blog while I was writing my doctoral thesis. I was teaching Masters students who were writing a thesis themselves at the time, and I was therefore interested in being accountable, authentic, to model learning in public.
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.
