This week I'm headed to #FIE2023 to co-facilitate a workshop on qualitative research and present some early results on #teamwork and team contacts that we are working on in the Lab and Design Community of Practice.

I saw on Twitter earlier that maybe there won't be a NELS this (next?) year and my first thought was "so what?"

What value does NELS even provide?

The impact of #universityrankings on policy and individuals by Elizabeth Gadd - scary stuff...

In particular the fact that unaccountable third parties have this kind of power.

And here I am in the office. I just needed to get away from caregiving for a while. You know you're not exactly thriving when work becomes respite from home.

So...anyone got any academic interview tips, particularly for faculty or tenure track positions?

What sort of questions are usually asked? What's the best way to prepare? What are the panel looking for from an interview that they couldn't learn from the application documents? What would *you* be looking to learn about a candidate during an interview?

Still kind of floored that my #ActuallyAutistic ass made it through two conferences within 10 days! #NWSA2022 last week/end and #MMLA2022 . I don’t think I’m cut out for constant conferencing like this, but am so proud I was able to manage my spoons & social battery to have a great time here. And to share #transMad scholarship w/ lots of amazing new and old friends. #AcademicMastdon

What's it like trying to get professional development funds these days?

Any tips?

I know that's... vague 😂 but I'm interested in a wide range of responses and experiences.

I want to put together a resource to help grad students and post docs get professional development for help with their job talks (+ teaching demo/chalk talk)

For training, coaching, editing.

Please boost.

Hi 👋.

You're doing great at handling the intensity graduate school. I'm very proud of you!
Take a deep breath, and reflect on how far you have come.
You're doing great!

@PatThomson Reviewers will have a number of bids to read, so make sure they will understand precisely what you are bidding for and why within the first few sentences. The equivalent of the ‘elevator pitch’. #Bidwriting #highereducaton #AcademicMastdon

My email inbox is filling up so rapidly today. Before I get sufficient time to make up my introvert mind to attend to one important email, a several more similarly important work-related emails pop up and demand my attention; this is terrible.

Still feeling a tinge of embarrassment from the start of term when I was invited to present my research in front of an audience of a few first year students and many more parents.

I ended up talking about the long history of science fiction and its relevance to a STEM college. In the process I happened to mention Johannes Kepler’s use of the figure of a witch in Astronomical Dream, his short story about lunar travel, to question Enlightenment science as the only valid form of knowledge. When I did, I could’ve sworn I heard the audience of STEM parents either audibly gasp or at least go very silent. And one of the senior admins, a natural scientist, turned to look at me.

I ended up saving face and redirecting my Q&A response. But now that I think about it, why *shouldn’t* we be talking about how the sciences have always relied on fiction, rhetoric, myth, and speculation in how they think and write about their work?
