  1. And in other news, I suppose it's official now, seeing as I just sent off my acceptance. I'm doing my MMus in #windband conducting at the University of Victoria with Dr. Steven Capaldo starting this fall! It’s exciting and daunting, and it’s going to be a great time. #gradstudent #yyj #mmus #concertband #militaryband

  3. Even though I’ll be done my MBA in a few weeks and I plan on going for a PhD in the next few years, this morning I woke up with the idea “do I need a different bachelors degree before going to a PhD?”

    I…I have a problem.

  6. The review of an #esoteric tome on #continuations blunders on like an over-caffeinated grad student's fever dream 💤💻. The author can't decide if it's groundbreaking or a $100 paperweight 📚❓. Spoiler: it has no exercises - because who needs practice when you've got #theoretical #ramblings, right? 🤷‍♂️

    They voted to keep the files sealed and millions still cheered. You ask why I speak out? Because mass delusion this deep doesn’t fix itself. #psychology #sociology #gradstudent #unanimous

  9. 🎓🤓 A grad student just "solved" addition's limits, because apparently 1 + 1 wasn't obvious enough. 🧠💡 Quanta Magazine is positively giddy over the "discovery," proving once again that math is the real black hole of #journalism. 📉📰

  11. I’m seeking recommendations for PhD programs. My masters level graduate work is focused on #posthumanism, and I have extensive experience in #CommunityDevelopment. For my doctoral research I’d like to merge the two fields to re-imagine how we do and be #community in the #Anthropocene. I’m looking for a program that is pretty self-directed and ideally offers opportunities for independent studies. I’m just starting this search process from scratch.

    All suggestions welcome!

  13. CW: Politics about government regulations on academic institutions

    The policies that are being placed on #academic institutions are actually making it harder for schools to serve their students (i.e. me, a #gradstudent). They’re required to jump through more hoops, which in turn requires students to jump through more hoops. Some of those hoops make school inaccessible to people. It seems like some of these #regulations are to help students #graduate with the ability to have a #career and pay off debts. Unfortunately, there really is no such thing as a career for this generation. That is an outdated term and concept. And the more we engage with #ai the further we will get from being able to have “careers.” The problem is that we’re not collaborating with AI. Instead we’re putting policies in place in really strange places to try to counter the effects of AI. However, we are the ones who are generating AI, so we might as well collaborate with it! #studentdebt

  17. People keep asking me what Posthumanism is… in a few simple words (from my perspective as a #gradstudent , not an expert)… it is a decentering of the “human” in our thoughts and actions. (When I refer to “human,” I mean it in ALL senses that the “human” represents.) Another way of putting it might be: #DEI for all beings on a universal scale.

    Again, not an expert… just sharing my take.

    If you want to hear it from the experts, check out this talk on a new book by #francescaferrando that I’m SUPER excited about! (See link below) Titled: The Art of Being Posthuman.

  19. Hi all, I just joined Mastodon and wanted to share an #introduction. I’m Catie, a #gradstudent studying the #posthumanities in the US. I joined Mastodon bc a friend shared that I’d likely find some like-minded folx here online, since my small suburban town is pretty limited when it comes to anything “post.” Looking for fun or intriguing conversations and connects! I somewhat recently moved off the #permaculture homestead I was developing, so I’ve got that background too. I’ve been examining intersections of #posthumanism and permaculture related to patterning… lots there! Reach out if you’re looking to connect!

  21. Grad students typically work anywhere from 40 to 80 hours a week, but #UC programs are assigning them 39% to 50% appointments, creating variation and lower pay, despite a new union contract.

  23. As a student in Japan, I have received a fuller education in the tenets of Western philosophy from a single class than I ever received during four years of undergraduate study in the United States of America.

    Now, I am in STEM, so my only required philosophy classes have simply been those in the general education curricula, but it still seems weird to me that a western educational institution would not prioritize Western thought when an eastern educational institution does.

  25. • NIH #postdoc, #postbac, and #gradstudent researchers are unionizing, partially to get a raise

    • However, #Congress controls the #NIH budget (and doesn't like NIH very much)

    • Twist: NIH already gave IRTA fellows a raise, but won't say where the $ is from

    So where's the money coming from? External grant funds?

  29. CW: Academic grades

    Got an A in Machine Learning in Spatial Analysis. Hopefully, I can turn my project from that class into a paper in the next few months. Also got an A in Remote Sensing. Trust me, I know grades are not everything and I don't always get As, but it feels good because I really worked my butt off over the last few months. #gradstudent #gischat #datascience #academia #bragging

  30. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Julia, a at the University of Central Florida. I do Physics Education Research, mainly qualitative, some mixed methods. I enjoy TV, movies, music (singing, playing, and listening) and tabletop & video games. I have a cat Gil and a dog Theo who I love dearly (pictured below.)

    I historically post about , , , , and stuff. Mostly lots of and .

  31. I suppose I can do another #introduction along with migrating. First, I'm a #mainframe DBA. My #IT career has been mostly mainframe-based, but I do other, cloud-ish things. Second, I'm a #gradstudent at #GeorgiaTech working on my Master's degree in #cybersecurity. Third, I have a five year-old son who is almost half-way through Kindergarten and will be marrying my fiancé in a few months to add her and her daughter to our family. Also, my screen name is a reference to a Phil Hendrie character.

  32. Academics: I’m all caught up :blobcatcheer:

    Academic Narrator: You are not, in fact, caught up on any of the things :blobcatthinkOwO:
