I am looking for #academia and #nonfiction #authors and #scicomm people who want to do some AMA-style events on Lemmy. The few I ran on Reddit were fun, and it makes an excellent opportunity for public outreach as people feel comfortable in an informal space, ECRs especially. These are great if you have a paper you want to rizz too. It's a good outreach thing; I always think 1:1 talking to people is the most successful and impactful. @phdstudents @academicchatter

My paper got published in Synthese! 🥲
“Inspired by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s metaphysics of monads, I will focus on a relational explanation of how simple subjects could constitute complex experiences, without them having to combine in virtue of their subjectivity. I call this view monadic panpsychism.”

Howdy! New to this whole Mastodon thing (I'm not even sure what instance I should be on) but eager. Name's Bug — I'm a queer master's student in an entomology lab, passionate about scientific outreach.
When I’m not staring at insects, I spend my time creating zines, comics, other art, and playing D&D. I want to learn how to make video games. Let’s connect if you think little critters are cool!

University protests against Israel's war in Gaza are spreading across the U.S. After multiple Columbia University students were arrested last week for refusing to leave an encampment, arrests were made at Yale University today.
Daily Beast has a recap of what's happening, including new protests at New York University and the University of Michigan: https://flip.it/2MJY.s

So, that thing with Amazon being full of AI-generated books containing tips to eat poisonous mushrooms?
Google Scholar now appears to be increasingly full of GPT-fabricated academic papers too - undermining human society’s hard-amassed evidence base.
Good work, everyone.
Just seen something referring to academics as "unpaid content creators for Elsevier" and I am dead ⚰️.

Supervising someone's thesis is a huge responsibility. You don't have to be perfect, but you should be aware that someone is trusting you. Someone might look up to you. You can hurt them and this can take years to heal. It's a responsibility and a privilege.

I live in academic isolation, kept sane only by wife and gaming group. Anybody need a few lively guest lectures on Scandinavia's #Prehistory and #MiddleAges?

Realised in talking with friends that #academia is basically Mario Party. A game with arbitrary rules where you’re forced to compete for coins and stars. It’s 40% skill and 60% luck and you can stack the odds in your favour a bit through early success. Everything that happens feels intensely personal. #gaming
Vor Weihnachten habe ich einen Vortrag vor Kolleg*innen, Freund*innen und Familie gehalten.
Vor Weihnachten hat eine Kommission empfohlen mir die Lehrbefugnis für Neuere Geschichte zu erteilen. (1/7)

Looks like my dear Polish friends can't afford to renew my contract after 28 February, largely because of what the Russian invasion of Ukraine has done to the cost of running a large public institution with a lot of buildings. So my new year's resolution is to find a new job, one where I get to put on pants in the morning and commute to a workplace where there are other people whom I collaborate with. 1/2
🚨 URGENT REQUEST - PLEASE BOOST 🚨
I'm looking for names and/or connections of any academics, independent researchers, or prominent figures *anywhere*, but *especially* in #Canada who have at least *some* connection to *any* fields related to:
- #Genocide (in general)
- #Trans Genocide
- #Geopolitics as they relate to trans people
I've been asked to lead a significant and urgent project related to the present crisis, and I've dropped all other tasks to support this. I wish I could provide more details publicly, but these details will have to follow.
- Feel free to either post or DM me names/info or to connect
If you hear about a job where it helps to have over 200 publications in academic and popular #archaeology, plus 20 years' experience as a journal editor, plus a solid record as a popular teacher, then please give me a nudge!
Anybody know anyone who controls an endowed guest professorship or annual lecture (series)? One that could be manned with a fun and lively Swedish archaeologist? Please put my name forward! I know French and German.
Deeply disappointed to learn "dark academia" stands for combat training and high school feuds, instead of using forbidden magic to convert your citations into a more arcane format to avoid being cursed by your professor, or finding out Reviewer No. 2 is actually an eldritch being hiding in the basement.
