7 meetings since 10am 😓 oof
I feel a little brained out #academicChatter

Wegen Fasnachtsmontag heute kein Unterricht. Sitze also mit imaginärem lustigen Hütchen auf am Schreibtisch und bereite Unterricht vor
#Montag #AcademicChatter

Today I met with a student who will visit my lab in a few weeks, and students are just the best! 🤩 One such meeting makes the whole week worthwhile #academicChatter

Pro tip: don't give the office next to the elevators to the faculty member who no one has seen on campus for the better part of a decade. And, if the movers just dumped his stuff in the middle of the office, say in 2018, it's not too late to have someone put it away or at least hang a curtain over the window from the hall.

Prevented from reading (for fun) by having to read (for work) 😔 #academicChatter

Anyone know of good articles on solipsism in games, especially with regards to game engine design and level design? Feels so obvious someone must have written on this before but Google scholar is not coming up with a lot.
(boosts appreciated)

The itemization of student term papers. #AcademicChatter

On the second day of this brandnew spring term, I got two grant propsals rejected 🙅‍♀️ 🙅‍♀️
There’s only one good thing—it’s not the start of a Fibonacci series of rejections as I couldn’t output so many applications in the first place. Phew 😮‍💨

Meeting planning, emails (generating further meetings). Monday morning as usual #academicChatter

Kenne ich jemanden, der mir eine Paper aus der Zeitung #Allergologie (ISSN: 0344-5062) aus 2024 schicken kann?

#AcademicChatter

Today between teaching sessions: students exchange what they stream, hockey or curling?
S1: But you’re Swiss, you need to watch hockey!
S2: But in curling we still have options!
S1:
S2: I mean, the women have options in both 😁
S1: 😐
S2: Honestly, curling is more exciting, the Swiss Women team will win hockey anyway
S1: But yoy need to stream hockey!

Like waves against my
Waning sanity, Canvas
Crashes on and on.

I'm worried that if I don't come up with some batshit or vaguely antisocial behavior quick, they're going to make me take on more consequential admin work. The bar for appointment as chair really is wildly low.

Wow it took exactly one day back at work to be already behind 🙃 #academicChatter

How hung up can one be on writing 2 pages /o\ #academicChatter

Another meeting about how to manage/facilitate/moderate students' use of "AI" 🥱 #academicChatter

One time a student* told me if I didn’t correct his homework and let him write the exam, I would hear from his dad’s lawyers. - But that’s not a threat, he’s just informing me
* _exmatriculated_ student, who had already failed out of the program

I was on vacation the last two and a half weeks and I did NOT do any work, not even a little bit, for 14 days. Not finishing a paper, not grading, no grant applications, no reviews. This is what it was like and it was glorious. Special thanks to my parents-in-law for the all-inclusive pampering #academicChatter #break

I discovered a new type of spam: Amalfi Coast Hiking Spam for Professors!
"bring to your attention a matter that is anything but trivial: that of well-deserved summer holidays".

Bei kleinen Inkonsistenzen bei den Literaturverzeichnissen/Referenzen, würdet ihr inzwischen direkt mit Betrugsversuch durchfallen lassen? (Titel und Journal passen nicht zusammen, Jahreszahl im Text und im Verz. ist unterschiedlich, etc.)
Oder bin ich zu empfindlich weil ich schon zuviel Slop lesen musste? #academicChatter #lehre #hausarbeiten

Second guessing myself bc Powerpoint is red-underlining the word "Linguistics" I mean thanks for digging into our known insecurities I guess? #lingusitics #linguistics #academicChatter

I very briefly feared that the number of printed exams wouldn’t suffice 😱 But it turns out German students are reliable when it comes to not showing up for exams phew
And only 1 copy printed in vain! 🌱 #academicchatter

🎉 🤗 I'm welcoming a visiting student working on ✨emojis✨ this week in Bochum! 🤓 Can you tell we're excited?? #linguistics #emojis #academicChatter
