🌳📝 So apparently, writing non-fiction is like channeling your inner Bob Ross and painting a happy little tree. 🤔 Just start with the trunk and voilà! And if all else fails, blame your professor for making your class the academic equivalent of drawing a stick figure. 🎨💼

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.

History is sometimes an act of accumulation: 397 folios. Hundreds of candles. Countless tiny details.

Today’s blog post discusses reading for details that earlier editors thought didn’t matter.

Many academic papers could be half as long—or less. But we write them to be self-contained and accessible to a broad scholarly audience, so we repeat background, define well-known terms, pad the argument just to be safe. And then publishers restrict the number of footnotes.

In an ideal world, a paper would be short, dense, even cryptic—and followed by a massive apparatus of notes explaining context, terminology, prior work, alternatives. Instead, we do the opposite: long main text, minimal notes

According to WHO, 7% of the global adult population struggles with #alcohol dependency, and over 64 million suffer from drug addiction. Yet, these issues often remain hidden in universities due to the fear of judgment and reputational loss. #Nature recently published an eye-opening article about academics who have courageously shared their stories of #addiction and recovery: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-024-04218-z 👏 #AcademicPressure #ScienceWithoutStigma #AcademicLife
