Just had a wonderful, enriching conversation with another independent scholar in ecocriticism, and she mentioned that while she had looked for Canadian alt-ac or independent scholarly networks, she hadn't been able to find any.

@academicchatter @academics @CouragePhD @academicsunite anyone have any leads on something like this? There's a lot of American Alt-ac I know, but how about Canadians? I know you're out there...

Normally I would post this on my non-science acct, but I figured all the bioinformatics people might be interested in the field of penis size analytics for #AltAc

How to keep up to date with research in your field (particularly in the social sciences)

I’m not moving to Alabama (state lawmakers are less than welcoming to my family + I like my corner of Appalachia) but the U of Alabama is hiring a tenure-track #dataScience Librarian starting at $100-120K for assistant professor (and posting salary range in job description). Probably a great job for someone who wants the combo of flexibility and impact of an #altAc job. https://careers.ua.edu/jobs/data-science-librarian-525463-alabama-united-states
