New week. This one is a bit moree special, as teaching for the new academic year starts, for us here it is on Friday.
#Academiclife -
During today's bachelor exams at the University, I felt an powerful urge to apply to a regular bachelor+masters program in physics. I assign this to middle-age crisis in the academic variant. Hope I'm all-right and not alone with this.

🎓 For the past 3 days, our annual IMPRS-ESM retreat has been taking place at Altes Stahlwerk in Neumünster. The retreat gives our doctoral candidates the opportunity to present their research, receive feedback from fellow PhD candidates and supervisors across the graduate school, & learn about research beyond their own fields and groups.
We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to making this retreat such a lively & engaging event! 🌍

Further Thoughts of Retirement…
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make and end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.from Little Gidding, Four Quartets, by T.S. Eliot.
The start of teaching for 2026/7 is approaching at an alarming rate. new and continuing students are registering and today we had a staff meeting in the Department of Physics about arrangements for the new term. This all made me think again about retirement.
About three years, while I was in Barcelona on sabbatical , I posted an item about looking forward to retirement. Here is an excerpt from that piece:
The fact of the matter is, though, that I can’t afford to retire yet. I have a mortgage to pay and I’ve only had five full years of pensionable service in the Irish system, so won’t get much of a pension. I have the frozen residue of my UK pension, of course, but that is subject to an actuarial reduction if I take the benefit before I’m 65, which is also the standard retirement age for academic staff in Ireland. I can’t be made to retire here until I’m 70, in fact, but I think I’ll be well beyond my best-before date by then and am not keen to overstay my welcome.
So it looks like I’ll have to stay until I’m 65 at the earliest. In fact I won’t be able to collect the State Pension (SPC) until I’m 66, so I’ll probably have to stay until then. That means that when I get back from sabbatical I will have four or five years left until I can retire.
Since I posted this I made a firm decision that I will retire as soon as I’m able, which should be in June 2028. Having sold my old house in Cardiff some time ago, I have paid off my Maynooth mortgage which makes the financial situation much simpler. I am now quite confident that I can afford to retire before I’m 66.
I know many academics don’t like the idea of retiring. I suppose that’s because they’re afraid they won’t know what to do with their time. I’ve never felt like that. I’ve always had plenty of outside interests, but now there’s another factor. As I alluded to in an earlier post, and contrary to all my expectations of three years ago, there is another person involved. That person, whose name I won’t reveal, graduated this summer from an unnamed university, and is just about to embark on a two-year Masters degree (in a subject not to be disclosed) in a location I won’t tell you about. He will be finishing that course in the summer 2028.
For the next two years things for us will be pretty much as they are now: not living together, but spending as much time in each other’s company as possible at weekends and holidays. That arrangement suits us both very well in the current circumstances but we have already started discussing plans beyond the two-year horizon. Some of these are not at all serious, but amusing to think about. Others would be fantastic if they turned out to be possible. We have the best part of two years to decide what to do. In any event, I find it exciting to be able to think seriously of retirement as a beginning as well as an end.

🌳📝 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.

Five lectures. A two-hour lab. An exercise released. A quiz built. Two online courses with no room and no timetable. One lab I supervise but never teach.
None of it is visible from a seat in the room. When preparation is invisible, that means it was done.

Well, tomorrow I have a meeting with my boss to talk about prolonging my contract.
Right after I give a talk about how terrible the situation for #postdoc.s is (precarious work environment, high prevalence of mental health issues).
I can't decide whether the timing is great or terrible.
I made the talk with #Quarto, and uploaded it to #Github, so you can check it out at https://tsievert.com/au-section-08-2026/#/title-slide
First time I created slides in Quarto and first time I publish them

Have any academics out there received official emails from your senior “management” about the appalling Arday affair? I’m curious about the tone struck in the message, whether there were any hints of wider empathy beyond formulaic platitudes, any intellectual engagement/analysis of the current situation, and whether there was any suggestion for how to protect members of the university and wider community from the recurrence of such a situation. #Arday #AcademicLife #university

- 100%It's not helping that I need to run things on an #HPC, so my failing forward is hogging resources.

Whether we are in formal education or not, we are all working with supervisors or managers on projects all the time
We often focus on ourselves in these relationships, but we frequently don't think or reflect enough about the importance of managing the other person, and what we can do in order to get the most out of the relationship
As the new academic year is fast approaching I thought it might be timely this #throwbackthursday to share a post from June 2024 which I hope might help in having a strategy to optimise these key relationships
