Are you an early career researchers (any country) who is actively working to improve scholarly communication and scientific publishing? I'm looking for people to participate in and present at a virtual event on Jan 4-5. Interested? Please let me know what you're working on.

This virtual brainstorming event will bring together publishers and early career researchers working to improve publishing. Insights gained from the event will be shared at the APE Conference (Academic Publishing in Europe).

We're building a postgraduate researcher Discord server for people in the social sciences 🤓

What are the best/worst things about servers people are currently on so we can enable/disable?

#AcademicChatter #PhDlife

It is EXTREMELY URGENT that government agencies, emergency groups, and others who have over time become dependent on #Twitter to disseminate important announcements to the public, now move quickly to prepare alternative methods (which they really should have already).

It is clear that Musk's behavior is decimating Twitter as a reliable platform for reaching the public without interference, and since Musk now says he will let all hate speech and disinformation that is "not illegal or spam" be propagated on Twitter, even from previously suspended accounts, Twitter will now rapidly become of zero value as a source of trustworthy information on any topics.

DO NOT DELAY!

How do you warn students/mentees about toxic colleagues?

For me... No reading between the lines comments, if my mentee and I are close, I just give my opinion when solicited. If I'm not asked, but we're close, and the toxicity is high, I'll offer to talk. If we're not close, I often don't feel safe, so I wonder what you all do? 😊 I unequivocally think it's our responsibility to give our opinion, especially when asked as mentors, but not to expect it to be taken.
