ACADEMIC HELP NEEDED
I have an at-risk scholar who needs help finding free journals to submit his work to. He researches rare marine & bird species. He has been taken advantage of by predatory journals.
Any recommendations for FREE journals (or journals that would make special provisions for Palestinians in Gaza) are so appreciated.

New #publication: “Writing versus automated text production by generative AI. Distinctions, disruptions, and the need for new models”
It’s a statement in the special issue of Didaktik Deutsch on “Writing with AI,” in which I argue for more accurate terminology. LLM-based chatbots neither “write” nor “generate text”
I also propose a dedicated research agenda for the writing research community. Reach out for collaboration!

Joy of joys. Im now receiving long boring AI generated inquiries about my thesis published on Leanpub ...
*compelling*
*especially drawn to*
*creates an interesting tension*
*It makes me curious**ad nauseum *
It makes me throw up. Also, very angry, upset, emotional and even slightly traumatised at what we have allowed to happen. Why doesnt GenAI just F-off? -

I am not going to finish my PhD or this puzzle anytime soon. #AcademicChatter #procrastination

I wrote 1600 words of my 1000 words today, which means there's significant cutting in my future. But at least I made wordcount!

Today-I-have-done:
- Finished my C++-course refactoring. But I am not yet pleased: Needs more clarity and hands-on mini-exercises. Want to include my Pair-Programming-Slide at the top. Might help in the class-room. And then some instructions for 3rd party presenters. After all, people might find this appealing to teach.
- Scheduled some course dates. Finally! 🥳 (After my unplanned hiatus, it is about time!) -

Also me, two weeks later:
Oh, publisher has sent proofs from completely different email address, which ended up in my spam folder.

Hello. New here, and came for the academic and open-science corner of the fediverse rather than the tech news.
I build small tools, read too much, and like finding out how things actually work underneath, usually the unglamorous end of documents and the software around them.
Ghana, living in the UAE. I would rather follow people than hashtags, so say hello if you work on research tooling or open science.

Recently an #ECR colleague was told for a ~£5,000 grant that they had no evidence of delivering on something like their submission successfully.
Given that they have a substantial publication record and they had applied the same methods multiple times and delivered (just without third-party funding), this was surprising.
I am wondering how to advise ECRs about getting their first PI grants, if this is really is the situation we are in...

When you can't compensate by working nights and weekends... that's when you really notice how unsustainable this job is sometimes 😬 #academicChatter
