#postdoclife — Public Fediverse posts

Can I again use the combined knowledge and academic experience of my followers here to submit a great application for an assistant professorship (in experimental physics) in the Netherlands? (Due on Sunday, I'll have a first version by tonight)
#PostdocLife #AcademicChatter #FollowerPower

I recently met somebody actually working for #MDPI and before figuring that out, I was tricked by their partner into insult #MDPIgarbage.
Long story short, I consoled them that at least they weren't working for #Elsevier.

But they seemed really nice and extremely unhappy to be stuck with a terrible employer due to economic circumstances.

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.

The first rule of #PostDoclife is:
Try not to go crazy #worklifebalance #mentalhealth

The second rule of #Postdoclife is:
Do something useful for science #studydesign #deepwork #methodology #scientificsoftwaredevelopment
#hardworkisrare #focusisprecious

The third rule of #Postdoclife is:
Tell others the cool thing you did #writepapers #outreach #presentations

Go to rule 1.

In the last few months, I have felt #overwhelmed, #overworked, #anxious, behind and planless. But, couple of days ago I stopped drinking big mugs of #blacktea daily. I think I am doing better. More sleepy during the day, sure. Bursty work efficiency, deep work and flow, but that's as usual. Quick googling suggests there isn't a link between #caffeine and #anxiety though, so may be #confirmationbias. #astrodon #postdoclife #publishandperish

Very happy to have been appointed supervisor for four translation studies students this semester! Two already emailed to set up a first meeting, that's a good start.

Postdocs should really strike together with the students. Did you know that postdocs at #DartmouthCollege only have 14 days of holidays per year??

I really love this picture Andrew took of me while doing the shim sham during my very last visit to BluJazz in Singapore. I made so many friends in that place, and I will really miss it. I never imagined that a place like this would exist in Singapore. Also: I never imagined that I would come to love dancing the shim sham so much. It has grown to be probably my favourite part of every social! This picture represents so many good memories ❤️❤️❤️

I'm back in Singapore, and went to the Centrepoint mall yesterday for an Xmas-themed jazz party by Jazz Inc SG.

Live jazz music? Check!
Lots of dancing? Check!
My friends? Check!

It was so much fun to be back with this crowd again!

After some performances, the floor was open for social dancing, and even though I was super rusty after all of my travels, I had an absolute blast!

Why can't just one single good work thing happen to me without a guy finding it necessary to remind me that my purpose in life is to be fucked by men, and that I'm not even good enough for that?

Like... just why?

Something positive happened and now I feel like shit.

Last week, I presented the work I did with prof. Kuldeep Meel and prof. Arunabha Sen at IJCAI 2023.

We showed the benefits of reducing a problem to a computationally harder problem (yes, you read that right!), by demonstrating how it allows us to solve much larger problem instances.

It was so much fun to finally share this work with so many fantastic researchers at IJCAI! Thank you to all organisers for making this conference possible. I'm also super grateful to the reviewers who gave us great feedback!

Please find our paper, slides, poster, a short video, and our open source tool, gismo, here: www.annalatour.nl/publication/2023-08-01-Solving-the-Identifying-Code-Set-Problem-with-Grouped-Independent-Support

Very happy that our paper "Solving the Identifying Code Set Problem with Grouped Independent Support" was accepted to IJCAI 2023!

I did this work together with Prof. Kuldeep Meel and from NUS and Prof. Arunabha Sen from ASU. It was a great pleasure to work with them, and I learned a lot from both of them during this project. We have some ideas for further research, so I hope this story is to be continued...

Shout-out and many thanks to @msoos for his last-minute help to fix a bug in the code!

This is my first accepted conference paper that I worked on without my PhD advisor Dr. Siegfried Nijssen Dr. Behrouz Babaki. It felt a little bit weird doing this without them, but I guess that's part of the job.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this work in conversation, encouragement, feedback, or just simply making our office a nice place to work at 🙂

If you're planning to attend IJCAI in Macau, and want to meet up, let me know!
