Upon reflection, the wise career move may have been to give up teaching and start a meth lab.

It might be useful for new researchers to know how a journal editor screens submissions (obviously this is my approach and so it might differ for others).

I tend to start with a cold read of the abstract. By this I mean I try to do little more than glance at the title, as titles sometimes oversell or, at least, don't help my understanding of what the paper is about.

This is also why I read the cover letter second, so I have an outline of the paper before I'm subjected to the "pitch".

@onisillos really helpful! I’m sure others in will find this useful.

I was familiar with the cover letter pitch but good to know the importance of further background and what to do with the results. Thank you for sharing.

Yet another philosophy department shut down, at Birkbeck, University of London. Don't even know what to say. Keep doing philosophy, out of spite. We've always had detractors. Remember Socrates?

Very thoughtful piece on how a post-Twitter social media landscape may impact academics. Fragmentation will require some choices.

I particularly like the idea universities should embrace platforms for their networking, and not just publicity, potential.

If you know of any opportunities, please let me know. Being unemployed is really... horrible. It's not even about the money, it's just so boring not to have a community, structure, a place to go to and work, and to feel as if you're a part of something 😔

Three months and still "under review" for a paper I submitted to a journal. I guess that's normal, but I'm starting to get a bit anxious. Please send good vibes 🙏🏻

wow, this happened within a day of announcing this project! thank you for sharing this @kevinbolding

Congratulations and thank you @computingnature for sharing both the source code for and previous

So stoked and look forward to this becoming the norm where scientists don't have to keep reinventing the wheel in their own labs

Hey guys, I am sitting on the ( ) domain peertube.science - I want to gauge how much of an interest in this for me to set up. Is there anyone interested in a non commercial video service like this for the sciences? Humanities are welcome too. :)

I'm trying to create a survey to ask students about their experience talking to people outside of a class about what they are learning. The class is an intro to sustainability. Does anyone know of any studies along this line in higher ed? I'm trying to look at the impact of intentional prompts on open education practices focusing on social networks for interaction, peer-learning, and empowerment of learners (Cronin, 2017) @academicchatter

Wondering if anyone has a semester planning template they'd like to share. I feel like I'm recreating the wheel every term, so seeing others' might help me standardize. @academicchatter
