Hello Lovely Subscribers!

This is the second of my weekly “Dissertation Diaries” series. Presently, my timeline for dissertation defense if set for this coming April 8th (notably the same day as a major eclipse). That means, this semester, I need to HUSTLE to write some material. The goal of these posts is specifically to motivate me to reflect on my writing process, what I have accomplished each week towards the completion of my dissertation, and share with you all some of the writing process and personal experience of being a PhD student in 2024. More specifics about my dissertation goals, research, and experiences through the process will be unveiled throughout my posts, and you’ll get a glimpse of my research and methods from a more personalized perspective.

Posts go up on Friday evenings through the Spring 2024 semester.

Please consider following along if you’re interested (50% off subscription codes always linked in my JAF reviews). You are always welcome to opt out of this specific newsletter from MycoLore in favor of my other types of posts. At the moment, all present subscribers will receive Dissertation Diaries posts unless you otherwise manually opt out from these.

I hope you enjoy a glimpse into the process!
