Wow. Ok. Normally I feel like it's a bit overplayed to individually comment on #MDPI or the whole #AcademicChatter conversation, but this is really a must-see:
A Special Issue where the guest editors are lead or senior author on 27 of the 28 papers published through it. Were they also their own reviewers!? Like... that sounds like I'm taking the piss, but... no seriously were they? https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/special_issues/Biologics_Botanicals
I guess this is a preview to an upcoming post. Look forward to it...
Look, the price of tuition today is a crushing burden that shocks the conscience. Amid this backdrop, there's no way for families not to look at college — or choice of degree — in terms of return on investment. 🧵 1/9
I am D. Castleberry, I am a queer writer who is making queer fiction, some of which will be steamy and some of which will be wholesome. I am just getting started but I suspect that the world is my oyster.
With a lot of other social media sites in constant flux, I've decided to grow my audience here on Mastodon! I'll be posting about writing, my writing, and books in general. I will typically always follow back, so drop me a hey!

Are there any other academics from the medieval studies field around here? I was wondering because most of the people here seem to be from the tech field.
@taoish Mark, I think you mean @medievodons with an "s" - much more active than the singular version!
(Maybe good to edit your post so as not to divert anyone into a fork?) @bloggingjulia Yes lots of great historians here: welcome!
My workgroup (@idealab) at the Department of Evolutionary Biology @unibielefeld has an open PhD student position in evolutionary genetics. We study experimental evolution with freshwater gastropods and would love to have somebody with previous experience in ddRAD-seq and ATAC-seq to join us!
Do you think potential candidates should be reimbursed in some form for taking assessments that are required by the employer in order to be considered for employment?
Also, should this be available for only job candidates who are not considered for the position?
Or should it go for every job candidate, even the ones that get the position?
Thanks for reading and being your most precious and sensual self ❤️.
People with a Nintendo Switch, what's your preference for docked vs handheld? Do you almost always do one or the other, does it depend on the game, does it depend on what you're doing while gaming? And if you also have a PS5 or Xbox X|S, what's your preference for games that are available on both that and the Switch?
@trixter Almost exclusively handheld, regardless of game. I'd pin it to a simple preference for handheld systems over ones anchored to wherever the TV is. The only exception is when I'm playing multiplayer with my siblings, in which case we'll dock it for the duration of our playtime.
It's a long scroll down the page, but our (FourPlay String Quartet) album Signs of Life with @neilhimself has been nominated for Best Classical Album in this year's ARIA Awards!
@MelanieRussell We are a relatively small group here. Check out @smutstodon if you’re looking for the erotica writers. There are several genre specific groups too #smutstodon
