pascodaEiner 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.

DKZ.2RYou 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. The principles emphasise machine-actionability (i.e., the capacity of… Continue reading →
Serhii NazarovetsAn 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.

Rohit Farmer, Ph.D.#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.
Freya BlekmanIt'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
Dr David MillsResearchfish. What a fucking stupid name.
