Shout out to anyone else working on edits this #AcWriMo - and a great chance to share one of my fave #resdev cartoons from the academic / writing / research meme stash. #academicsky #academichatter #PhDchat 🎈

Many people are criticized for empathy in STEM. This creates a toxic culture. #womeninSTEM #academichatter #feminism

Yeah, the going rates for teaching in my field w/ PHD are $50-$75 an hour which sounds great. But this does not include any prep time, grading, or lesson planning. Also no health insurance, pension, or guarantee of hours. Basically, comes up to $2000-$3000 per semester #academichatter
It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course
I think we need an inverse thread where we talk about things that normal intelligent people universally agree upon that are for some reason hot takes within your profession

We need to so something URGENTLY so that ALL academic journals in the world adopt the same edition standards and nobody wastes any time re-editing articles to submit them to different journals.
Any ideas how to begin?

The attack on science comes from many areas racism/sexism in academia; political lobbying; pop culture; for profit publishing; censorship

Academic publishing can be a #slow business: (finally) got a paper accepted today! In between the initial journal submission (rejects, and an R&R), I basically got #two kids...😄 #academichatter #momademia

So since our Uni has switched to ecology profile, I’m going to insist on including the Arctic region into my research – I mean, c’mon, we literally teach engineers, who construct ice-breakers and other vessels 😑

This is Dr. Nancy Hopkins at the MIT Cancer Center, 1980s. Hopkins is a cancer scientist and activist for advancing women in STEM. She also exposed THE Larry Summers when he was at Harvard and denigrating women's aptitude for STEM. #womeninSTEM #feministscience #academichatter

I teach on books, learn how to diagnose books and prescribe alliteration, and also answer emails, which are rarely about books #AcademicSky #Academichatter #PhDLife

Back to back lectures and practicals today. Teaching students about plant diversity and reproduction. Can be tricky when most are interested in animals, but got some 'oooo' and 'aaaah' noises so..... winning?!

I'm reading an excellent book that I am going to review, and I'm wondering why we generally use so many footnotes and so much bibliography in academic books. They drown our voices, interrupt the reading, and cannot be assimilated.
