@profoundlynerdy There are a few academics that I'm aware of (and no doubt more I'm not!) who use Emacs.

Off the top of my head...

@jameshowell
@rougier

EmacsConf has had various talks that are relevant

https://emacsconf.org/2025/talks/reference
https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/students
https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/uni (from @jameshowell )
https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/teaching
https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/table

lots more talks of relevance too.

(I work in academia but as a research software engineer with no teaching nor paper authoring)

#emacs #academia

@profoundlynerdy How to set up such a workflow? I've been developing many workflows in #Emacs since the late 1980s. Take that as encouragement, not discouragement!

Any pitfalls? Some people don't share my love of Emacs, I suppose. 🤣

Thanks for the shoutout, @slackline! Besides @rougier, there's also @ericsfraga, @randyridenour, @zamansky, oh now I'm starting to feel anxious because I'm certain I am forgetting people @kjhealy sorry to the rest

@oantolin It's so embarrassing.... It's because I am so intimidated by your status as an Emacs dev, I don't think of myself as the same category as you (I am serious)

@profoundlynerdy @slackline @rougier @ericsfraga @randyridenour @zamansky @kjhealy

@oantolin @jameshowell To me, both of you seem like elisp wizards and I'm hoping I'll get there someday. On a side note, I keep hearing great things about embark but just looking at the readme is quite intimidating to me.

@profoundlynerdy @slackline @rougier @ericsfraga @randyridenour @zamansky @kjhealy

@paniash Your mentioning me in tbe same breath as @oantolin makes me blush. I write thing that I use, he writes things that everyone uses.

And did you know that he is also an academic? 🤣

@profoundlynerdy @slackline @rougier @ericsfraga @randyridenour @zamansky @kjhealy

@jameshowell @oantolin

I really like how there's a niche overlap of academia and emacs. Glad to be part of it!
