Bright sea through the trees,
Hard to stand and turn away,
Home comes way too soon.#Mediterranean #Haiku #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #dubrovnik #Photography #ESWC2026 #seascape #academiclife

Bought a new webcam. Now I have to shave before every online lecture...

Why spend 6+ years earning low stipends & critique from advisers, when you can join tech, automate your job & debate your career choice over artisanal coffee? 🤔👩🎓📚

Finished preparing slides for friday and saturday lectures just in time.
Feels like paving the way while running on it every time. -

Travelling without moving, part 2
Glass holds back the sea —
one shoe rests where the tide ends,
evening forgets me.#eswc2026 #academiclife #Photography #blackandwhite_photography #BlackAndWhite #solitude #window #loneliness #haiku

Dear #ESWC2026 crowd, there is decent Espresso available close to the conference site. At Restaurant & Bar Levanat (5 minutes down the beach promenade) you can enjoy a decent coffee with sea view.

On my way to #eswc2026 to Dubrovnik. Looking forward to meet the #semanticweb research family again! ESWC has never been to Dubrovnik before, so let the adventure begin (on Sunday).

Wenn man so oft denkt, dass man diese eine Sache noch erledigen muss, dass man am Ende denkt, man hätte sie schon erledigt. Hat man aber nicht. #academiclife

Summer hasn't officially even started yet and I already feel behind. #AcademicLife

This week, I visited the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Thessaly to give lectures on Long Read Genomics. It was a great experience with many interesting discussions, and I am very grateful for the kind hospitality.

What do the flight industry, nuclear power plants and academia have in common? All of these institutions have to deal with mistakes and their consequences as part of their normal mode of operation. But while in aviation, mistakes are analysed, in academia, they are often concealed.
Laure Sigalla makes the case that mistakes should be treated as part of research and outlines practical ways to improve transparency and integrity. 👇

People who’ve moved from academia to industry, do you miss it? Why or why not? Or which parts?
Curious to hear people’s experiences.

Gerade einem anderen Lehrstuhl geschrieben, dass sie jetzt ein frisch gestrichenes Büro haben, weil da wohl jemand in der Informationspipline die Raumnummer 0.10 zu einer 0.01 gemacht hat :D #academiclife

Ah, yes, the 🗝️ to being a scholarly genius: scribble illegibly on paper instead of using that pesky, user-friendly tech. Because nothing screams "modern efficiency" like deciphering your own hieroglyphs 🧐😂.

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):
67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.
🙂 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2025.3000
O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

#ChatGPT is excellent at summarizing #research papers or converting them to simplified English. It's especially helpful for preparing for a journal club presentation, which is just a burden in academic life that you can't escape. When I leave science, I will cite torturing journal clubs as the primary reason.
Whoever came up with journal clubs must be a real-life #loser.

It's always both a sad time and a joy to see early-career researchers move on, but it is also part of life as a senior academic. I mentored several people (not from my group) on dealing with microaggressions. I was happy to hear that one of the students whose PhD I recently supervised got a job at CERN this week. And as a final bittersweet goodbye I was excited to see someone else grow and spread their wings (going to my previous group in Brussels). #academiclife #professor #academia
