#7PhDSecrets Secret 6: Get help. It's OK to ask for help. In fact, the smart thing to do is to get help. Ask your supervisor. Ask in your department. Ask other students. Use the Library and Support services. Attend workshops. #PhDchat #PhDforum

#PhDSupervisors: When you say your door is always open - remember some students might not be up to coming through that door. You may need to reach out. #mentalhealth #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

If you are supervising an international student who is trying to write in their non-native language - tell them how awesome they are. They often feel incompetent, frustrated and even stupid. In reality they're really smart - just doing something very complicated. Tell them.

Glycocalyx dysregulation impairs blood–brain barrier in ageing and disease - Nature Disruption of mucin-domain glycoprotein expression and function in the endothelial glycocalyx are associated with ageing and Alzheimer’s disease, leading to dysregulated blood–brain barrier function.

Happy to share this new #glycotime work with collaborator Tony Wyss-Coray, led by grad student Sophia Shi, mucin loss at the BBB is associated with aging and cognitive decline, can be reversed by restoration with with gene therapy. Aging is a mucinopathy!

Thinking of doing a PhD or postdoc? #1 Tip:
Find a good supervisor.
Do some research on your supervisor before you start doing research with your supervisor. This will be the most important decision in your whole PhD or postdoc.

Q: How do you know when a PhD is finished?
A: A PhD is never finished. There is always more you could do. At some point you just have to hand it in. #PhDchat #PhDforum
