Hey Guys, we are on a family trip this week (I can take 1 per year). We are in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. I will be working at night while the family sleeps. But, thought I would share the view...

Hello Dissertation Demystified members, and Happy New Year to you all! It's another chance to give those dissertations our best. Reach out with what you would like to discuss. Office hours for this week: Thursday at 2:00 PM EST, and Sunday at 11:00 AM EST. As usual, you are welcome, even if it's a quick pop-in. Have a great week ahead.

My small city bringing in 2026...

Feliz Natal and Feliz Ano meu Amigos! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friends! I'm looking forward to an awesome 2026 which means, I become a Doctor! Thanks to everyone for your help and participation in making Dissertation Demysitified a great community!

Greetings Everyone, I've been hard at work doing some housekeeping in the holiday downtime and wanted everyone's thoughts on a few things. First, I revamped the Dissertation Demystified website. Mind you I am not web designer and the site needs a ton of optimization, but I wanted the website to follow the five-chapter structure of a dissertation. When you have a moment, please have a look at it (on desktop since I haven't worked on the mobile version yet) and let me know your honest thoughts: www.dissertationdemystified.com Second, I am going to start writing a series of working papers on doctoral education that I will post on LinkedIn and share with members here. Attached is the first article of the series. You are welcome to share this article freely. Third, as you take some much needed rest during the holidays, I am always around so never hesitate to message me, post in the community, or ask for feedback if you ever find yourself doing some dissertation work. -Ryan
