Gerade einem anderen Lehrstuhl geschrieben, dass sie jetzt ein frisch gestrichenes Büro haben, weil da wohl jemand in der Informationspipline die Raumnummer 0.10 zu einer 0.01 gemacht hat :D #academiclife

Ah, yes, the 🗝️ to being a scholarly genius: scribble illegibly on paper instead of using that pesky, user-friendly tech. Because nothing screams "modern efficiency" like deciphering your own hieroglyphs 🧐😂.

Einer der nervigsten Teile in #academicLife : ewig auf die Reviews warten müssen.

Ich hab am 2.2. eingereicht, Benachrichtigungen über Annahme/Ablehnung kommt am 30.3.

Und währenddessen kann ich nur warten.

You spent months collecting your data. You documented... nothing.

Sound familiar? Metadata is the difference between data that's reusable in 5 years and a mystery folder called "final_v3_FINAL_real."

Good metadata doesn't have to be complicated. A few consistent habits go a long way.

FAIR Principles - GO FAIR

In 2016, the ‘FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship’ were published in Scientific Data. The authors intended to provide guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets.

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):

67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.

Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.

O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

#ChatGPT is excellent at summarizing #research papers or converting them to simplified English. It's especially helpful for preparing for a journal club presentation, which is just a burden in academic life that you can't escape. When I leave science, I will cite torturing journal clubs as the primary reason.

Whoever came up with journal clubs must be a real-life #loser.

It's always both a sad time and a joy to see early-career researchers move on, but it is also part of life as a senior academic. I mentored several people (not from my group) on dealing with microaggressions. I was happy to hear that one of the students whose PhD I recently supervised got a job at CERN this week. And as a final bittersweet goodbye I was excited to see someone else grow and spread their wings (going to my previous group in Brussels). #academiclife #professor #academia
