Assalam alaikum,
I waned to just let you know that there is a village set up for people who already have obtained their doctoral degrees, are working towards doctoral degrees, or would like to hang around and make fun of people working towards doctoral degrees :) or who have to put up with people working towards their doctoral degrees. :) or who have related jokes, stories, etc. to share.

Meant to be a place where people can discuss their various areas of academic research, what they've learned out of being part of this process (I mean, in terms of coping with challenges, discipline, enthusiasm, what it is they really want out of their careers or their education or their lives, etc., where the best pizza places are that still deliver at 4 am in the morning, work-life balance, why that clip about people who went to Harvard but still didn't know what causes the seasons seems so interesting, etc. etc.)
