  1. 🌳📝 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. 🎨💼

  6. 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.

  10. Ok, so writing *is* happening. Not the way I usually spend the last week of my summer vacation, but perhaps I'll finally get this damn article out of my head…

  11. 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.

  12. 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).

  13. It's only shortly past 8 in the morning, but I need to #vent.
    I just overheard a new #tenure track assistant #professor talk about how they got there.
    In a nutshell, they haven't left the department since their master studies and stumbled into the tenure process by accident.

    I am (kinda) happy for them, but I am also so incredibly fucking jealous!

    I have switched not only university but country after every degree/job, so by now I live in country number 5 since starting by studies.
    The longest I've been in the same country was during my #PhD plus pandemic and unemployment for over a year.

    Especially older #academics don't seem to understand this, because whenever I mention any of this I encounter completely blank stares. Note, I'm in a department where most senior staff is local and celebrating 15-35+ years at the same employer.

    I'm in my mid-30, I don't want to move every few years when my temporary contract ends.
    I want to be able to plan more than 1-2 years at a time.

    I absolutely love doing #research, but I hate so many aspects of #academic culture or what has been normalized over the years for #AcademicLife.
    I plan on staying in #academia despite of it.

    #Rant over, time to calm down and sip my tea.

  14. I'm very honoured to be among this year's NWO (Dutch Research Council) Veni research grant recipients, for my proposal "Finding Variables that Matter"!

    I cannot quite believe it, but I'm excited to get started on the actual research.

    Many congratulations to all of my colleagues who received their Veni grants. Over the last few months, I was lucky enough to get to know them and their research, and I can't wait to see what they do with the funds.

    I'm grateful to Delft University of Technology and all my colleagues and trainers for their support and trust. The Veni application process was part of my life for almost a year. Could not have done it without their encouragement and wisdom. Many thanks also to NWO and all reviewers and committee members!

  15. Fin de la réunion du comité des programmes de l'#IRAM. Deux jours intenses, pendant lesquels nous avons évalué environ 150 demandes de temps pour les observatoires #NOEMA, #IRAM30m et le #VLBI. Enormément de très bon projets, qui exploitent au mieux les capacités des ces instruments, qui sont par ailleurs en constante évolution. #academiclife #vismaviedescientifique

  16. Et c'est parti pour l'évaluation des demandes de temps d'observations avec les télescopes de l'#IRAM pour l'hiver prochain. Environ 90 demandes à évaluer, reparties à part égales entre le télescope de #30m et l'interféromètre #NOEMA, plus quelques demandes d'observation #VLBI. #academiclife #viemaviedescientifique

  17. 🚨We continue to receive proposals for the Call for the Award of Studentships for Doctoral Research in all Scientific Domains promoted by the FCT, both in the General Line and in a Non-Academic Environment.

  18. Today, for the second time this week, I got to the train station only to realize I had forgotten my phone at home...meaning that I'd be unable to log into ANYTHING at work once I got there. How's your week going?

  19. I’m quite fond of #cooking (a good way to escape the pressures of university life), and I’ve taken up the cuisine of #Morocco recently. Behold a #tagine of lamb kefta w/ eggs, tomatoes, and couscous. #professorlife #professor #academiclife #foodie 🇲🇦
