I registered for an event, seemingly organised by one of my favourite professors, who retired a few years ago. I was super excited to get to see him again.

Turns out he shares a name with the *actual* organiser of the event 😅

I'm sure that guy is nice, too. At least now I have an opportunity to find out 🤷‍♀️

🚨 Wer übernimmt Verantwortung, wenn KI mitdenkt?
Ob beim Schreiben, Recherchieren, Prüfen oder Lernen: KI ist längst Teil von Lehre und Studium. Unser neuer Blogbeitrag zeigt, worauf es bei einem verantwortungsvollen Einsatz ankommt – von Transparenz und Datenschutz bis zu Fairness, Reflexion und klaren Vereinbarungen.

🔓 Offen teilen braucht Vertrauen
#OER sichtbar zu machen heißt auch, Sicherheit im Veröffentlichungsprozess zu gewinnen und Materialien so bereitzustellen, dass sie nachgenutzt werden können. Das #Feedback von Dr. Melanie Beudels und Sven Hanses zeigt, wie wichtig niedrigschwellige Wege und verlässliche Orientierung für offene Hochschullehre sind.

I'm looking for a replacement for MS Publisher. It has been my go-to application for anything that needs a detailed layout for printed materials (e.g., #academicPosters, #flyers, table tents, #businessCards). Now that #Microsoft will stop supporting it in October, I need a new idea.

What is everyone else using for desktop publishing?

#Canva is great for some projects, but the translation to printed materials has issues (like not being able to set margins). I've also tried #InDesign, but that has a steep learning curve and is overkill for what I need.

And no Word or PowerPoint. I've tried those too. This is not what they are designed for.

Have you ever employed #storytelling when writing your scientific paper? Sounds a bit fishy, but makes a lot of sense from a communications perspective.

There are plenty of storytelling methods. Here, Richard Brutchey explains the "Story Spine" framework and applies it to #chemistry:

Over three hours of interviews for Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network positions, one paper review, drafting a review article, and reviewing workshop proposals.

A busy day, but full of good academic things: interesting people, thoughtful work, and worthwhile projects.

I just wish there were slightly fewer worthwhile things at once.

A doctoral student recently came with a weird question: their supervisor told them that "examiners would be reassured" by seeing many connections on LinkedIn.
I have many ethical issues with the framing and with LinkedIn itself (despite having an account there), but I'd love to know from experienced scholars (maybe examiners themselves): how and why would examiners be concerned with my LinkedIn account?

Multitasking?
Of course I can multitask!
Look at me, waiting for my #rstats code to run and looking for new jobs, because my contract will end in 6 months and there hasn't been a clear commitment to prolong it, and drinking tea all at once!

RE: https://mstdn.social/@junesim63/115849070993758165

I find appalling that West universities are so silent about this, and many still cooperating with Israeli universities, while schools of arts and humanities like the one I'm doing my PhD fill their mouth of "class struggle, decoloniality and [insert your favourite academic leftwing jargon].

#AcademicMastodon #AcademicFedi #Academia #HigherEd

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.

Remember the academic dogma: decolonisation, politics, systemic analysis...all are for an intellectual entertainment to produce papers, not to be applied in real life.

Hey academic Fedi,
I'm regularly thinking that it would be useful to have a tool that helps me find articles that cite a paper to contradict (or at least "contrast") its result.

It seems that scite [1] does this but they requires a pretty steep subscription given that I'm not sure how reliable their tool is and that they also advertise a chatbot...

[1]: https://scite.ai

Does anyone know of something similar, or a workaround to achieve something similar using standard scientific search engines?

If you don't know, boosts are also appreciated to help the person who might know see this post 😉

Hello #Fediverse @academicchatter
I need your help for a privacy-focused local-host (run offline from my computer) transcription software.

I am (luckily?) collecting more interviews than I planned and transcribing manually is becoming a giant task, so it would really be helpful to have an automatic assistance.

Any suggestions?

One change this semester: I no longer required students to write papers in the dread five-paragraph format. It has been very liberating for some. If we are asking them to think independently, why shouldn’t they also express themselves outside of the cookie cutter? Though I begin many a comment now with: “Disclaimer: a freshman comp instructor probably wouldn’t approve. But I am not a freshman comp instructor.”
