#academiclife — Public Fediverse posts

Sunday afternoon at the kitchen counter. Two lectures to build and one set of exercises to grade, both landing Thursday.

Four hours. No student ever sees this part, and there is no line in my contract that describes it.

It is just what Wednesday costs.

#HigherEd #Teaching #AcademicLife

- Know your audience and your message before working on your slides

- Clearly explain the main concepts, so that everyone in the room can follow

- Make the title of each slide the main message of that slide

- View questions as a unique opportunity to get feedback and deepen the discussion

Today I set up my first #Finkelstein reaction. I've always wanted to do one because the name is so evocative. To my amusement my collaborator and I both got bored in the same meeting and happened on exactly the same procedure buried in a paper from 1921 at the same time. Our screenshots crossed. It was rather hilarious. But now we have some sodium iodide heating with an organochlorine compound in acetone in a pressure tube.
We're feeling lucky! #chemistry #academiclife

I'm teaching my first lecture at the new job today, about probabilistic logic programming, probabilistic inference, and (weighted) model counting.

Some of the required reading is a paper (https://eccc.weizmann.ac.il/eccc-reports/2003/TR03-003/index.html) that was written by a great mentor of mine, prof. dr. Fahiem Bacchus. He passed away just over 2 years ago, and I am honoured to keep his memory alive by teaching his ideas to a new generation of students. Hope to do him proud. 🌱

Please send good vibes? 🥺

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives of the Netherlands will vote on the proposed budget, which includes dramatic budget cuts to higher education.

Today is the last opportunity for us to make our voices heard before tomorrow's vote. There will be protests throughout the country.

At Delft University of Technology, we will gather at 1pm in front of the Aula for a walk-out.

Morgen stemt de Tweede Kamer over de nieuwe begroting, inclusief de voorgestelde bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs.

Daarom zijn er vandaag demonstraties door het hele land. Dit is de laatste gelegenheid om onze stem te laten horen vóór de stemming van morgen.

Bij de TU Delft: om 13u verzamelen voor de Aula voor een walk-out tegen de aankomende Eppocalyps.

#creativeHE current call for contribution is open

This academic year, our main focus is on creative assessment ideas/practices and contributions

The idea comes directly from members of the creativeHE community in association with the UK Media-Enhanced Learning Special Interest Group (MELSIG) and the Journal Open Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (oSoTL).

For more details look at the blog post: https://creativehecommunity.wordpress.com/2023/11/30/open-call-share-your-creative-assessment-ideas-practice-and-connect-with-others/

O IHC é um dos organizadores do encontro "FCSH Precária: Ciência a Prazo?", que vai ter lugar no Colégio Almada Negreiros no próximo dia 15 de Janeiro, a partir das 14h.

Vai ser discutida a precariedade na ciência e a urgência da integração permanente dos investigadoras/as na carreira. Será ainda debatido o sub-financiamento do sistema científico nacional.

ENTRADA LIVRE

After a peaceful week away in the #blackmountains #wales the thought of returning to the bird app is anxiety inducing. Time to make some new #science friends here and start some new conversations about all things #ecology #agriculture #farming #academiclife #rstats and maybe some #sewing #knitting #mecfs #neisvoid thrown in for good measure

@thomasconnor I can't post only one favorite. I have many, but I picked only those 2.

One is from #LaSilla #Observatory, in #Chile, the other one is from the #HauteProvence Observatory, in #France.
