Petra SchwerMittwochs Vormittags koche ich zur Zeit jede Woche Tee für meine Arbeitsgruppe.
Wir treffen uns zum Co-Writing Space.
Alle sind eingeladen für zwei Stunden gemeinsam an ihren Projekten zu schreiben. Dissertationen, Paper, Masterarbeiten und auch mal Gutachten enstehen so nebeneinander. Schön ist das!
Ruth MottramTFW you've spent ages trying to solve a tricky problem and it. just. does. not. work. You take a break, come back, try something new, nope still nothi... Wait! It's there, there it is! That's the data...
🥳🎊
That is why we love doing #science and in an increasingly packed day, the opportunity to work away uninterrupted* on a focused problem is increasingly rare. *That's* why I love fieldwork...
Details in a #FieldDiary soon.
*Uninterrupted time helped today by failure of all internet + phone communication in Qaanaaq..
While stuck in Ilulissat I have tried to deal with the email backlog (again). But they come in way faster than I can deal with them.
I love the idea of inbox 0 but would literally achieve nothing else if I practiced it, and work would be very boring.
Anyone have suggestions for good systems that work for overwhelming numbers of emails?
I receive around 50-60 a day, at least half of them need me to do something, often something substantial so they're not just for info. #LifeOfAScientist #Emails #EmailEttiquette

Have a photo of some iceberg melange (Because that's what I've been working on this evening...)

My 30 Day Map challenge didn't really survive beyond the first week - too much overwhelm in the day job, but that's ok, I hadn't really expected it to. But the first half of this week is the culmination of #AcWriMo's efforts to pay myself first - the #PRECISE writing week (3 days actually) intended to finalise some papers.

Thomas ConnorThe problem with presenting science at a conference you're also organizing is that your own presentation is the last thing on the to-do list.
Unrelated, I'm spending Saturday night with Inkscape open trying to think of what to write on a poster I need to print on Monday...

TFW the grant proposal you agonised over for *months* is rejected, but the one you prepared in 5 days and just squeaked over the line with 6 minutes to spare seems to be going through ...
