Meeting has coffee and cookies \o/ #academicChatter

Um 11:10 schon die Stulle essen = definitiv eine schlechte Idee, wenn ich noch bis 18:00 Seminar habe.
Aber mir ist langweilig und Frühstück war vor 7 #academicChatter

Me, at the start of the semester: In order to pass this course, you need to complete the majority of the weekly exercises.
Student at the end of the semester: I had no idea that 4 exercises would not be enough!!
The semester has 14 weeks of courses.

Courage to all who keep getting up everyday and try to make some part of what we're living a little better.
Whether it's teaching, talking, writing, upholding ethics in our daily work - thank you.
There's a reason that education, research, and academia are targeted in such times.
A luta continua.

Movie idea: Under the mistaken belief that all costs were covered by a Read & Publish agreement, a researcher publishes an open access article in a journal. However, he then discovers that color figures aren’t covered, and now he owes the Cartel over 1600 Swiss francs. The chase is on as the Cartel is determined to get their hands on the money, no matter what.

Had "the talk"* with a student and now I feel slightly icky #academicChatter
*yep, "don't use 'AI' to have your term paper written for you"

I have to add I had six meetings with students this afternoon and only that one was icky. 💚 students #academicChatter

Is the World Bank Research Observer considered refereed publication?
It's 'not traditionally peer-reviewed' but it does send papers out for review to economists (from what I understand).
What would researchers put on CVs?

It’s the last week of courses… Lets see how many students will attend the last sessions of my courses today and tomorrow…

If a starting date is mentioned in an academic job posting, and if the job involves teaching, which customarily follows a specific calendar, I’d have thought that it’s rather obvious that there are reasons for this particular starting date.
Of course, you can always ask, but it’s typically not possible to move the semester to accommodate you.

Yes, why not add two days of university cloud storage outage (due to transfer from owncloud to nextcloud) and a holiday (plus bridge day) between me and my "end of May" deadlines?! #academicChatter 😭

TFW you've spent ages trying to solve a tricky problem and it. just. does. not. work. You take a break, come back, try something new, nope still nothi... Wait! It's there, there it is! That's the data...
🥳🎊
That is why we love doing #science and in an increasingly packed day, the opportunity to work away uninterrupted* on a focused problem is increasingly rare. *That's* why I love fieldwork...
Details in a #FieldDiary soon.
*Uninterrupted time helped today by failure of all internet phone communication in Qaanaaq..

There's certain jobs that I've always done when publishing with more senior colleagues (like formatting the references or tables, checking for consistency) and I thought "well obviously". But now that I'm mostly publishing with more junior colleagues I'm *still* doing those jobs, so I've come to think it's probably just a combination of a certain level of skills obsession 🙃 #academicChatter
(ignoring the gender issue for now which may contribute to making "housekeeping" my job?!)

junior academic: internet is down 😱
senior academic: internet is down 🥳

Dear students and early career researchers cold-writing for a lab visit or job: please please please write your own email! If you can’t write a clear email stating your qualifications and intentions, you can’t do research! #academicChatter #llms

Good morning all! A rare day without any real meetings, and only one calendar entry (and that's a fun one, a networking thing to talk about how social media research can go forward in Germany). I'm not sure I can be trusted with that much freedom from time constraints #academicChatter
