Realized today there was a time (circa 2016-2020?) when #ScienceTwitter was an amazing resource for career advice. Long threads re: “how to apply for grad school”, “what to expect in a chalk talk”, and other highlights from the hidden curriculum.

A practice to revive as we settle in new places?

@dlevenstein yes!
The #Academia and #AcademicChatter here have some of that sometimes..

@dlevenstein I also think that people could use the hashtags to ask for help, this was also common there and I do not see it that much here. People need to start doing it so others join too, but hopefully it will happen at some point.

Or maybe there's some culture change in the last years. On twitter the most common academic thread I see is "how to use this new AI search engine that solves all your problems TM" and also some threads from people that you can tell they aren't in academia at all.
