In the US, some institutions will extend a complementary faculty title to any postdoc ambitious enough to submit a grant. And sometimes they are awarded! In that case, many grants are open to you.
That said, grants to do data analysis are a bit few and far between.
@jessamyn thanks so much for sharing this! It appears Agre comes back to my life in so many ways. His work on CTP defined my take on Human-centered XAI. His book was seminal to my thinking on RAI. Now this one pops up. Sad that he is no longer active/traceable these days. Guessing he had enough of the BS.
@mxp@yrochat I was happily surprised that the conference I went to recently, was nearly 80% "you can find me on mastodon", and loads of people using the hash tag here, but not on Xitter.
I don't know how a judge can feel good after sentencing a 77 year old theoretical physicist to the penal colony. Especially, if what apparently counts as treason is the vetted(!) publication of research papers.
(He is the second in a series of four similar cases; where the first one "testified" to shorten his own sentence.)
It looks like #Academia should be intimidated, to silence the remaining critical voices. #HumanRights#Russia#Treason https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-hypersonics-expert-jailed-14-years-treason-2024-05-21/
The unfolding tragedy of the deconstruction of university learning and teaching. Behold, a post in r/professors about the chatgpt wasteland of student submitted work.
@Edent borrow/buy How to get a PhD by Philips & Pugh and have a read, it’s not long. Not everything in there will apply to you but understanding the challenges different people face will let you understand yours more clearly and set up for success. Speak to potential advisors, and arrange chats with their current post grads, you’ll learn a lot. The right supervisor can help you get funding.
"She criticized my organizational skills and told me that she didn’t see a passion or spark for doing research in me."
Pleading to passion are cop outs for not paying your, or providing sufficient guidance. This was squarely on the PI to begin with, by not reading the room or asking for timely feedback on workload. The the response left a culture of fear (nor one of responsibility and disclosure). Poor management as ever.
@beatnikprof A friend of mine, many years ago, who is not a prof, said: don't even answer those. At the time, I found that advice lightly cruel, but I am getting to a place where it seems like the only way to signal in a way they will understand: no begging. Just none. There is no amount that is the right amount.
Hats off to the Royal Astronomical Society for tackling this issue. "Urgent action is needed to address an insidious and systemic #bullying problem within the world of #astronomy and #geophysics, a damning new report warns."
Just a reminder that adding “young” (or “old”, for that matter) in a job ad is discriminatory. Why not write down something that the candidate can actually work on improving instead, and that has something to do with the job you’ll ask them to do?
Hi everyone! I am currently writing a term paper, titled Examining Filipino family heritage expression in family tree mapping. This study is a term paper to be submitted in my PS 215: Special Course on Filipino Heritage course at the Asian Center.
My paper hopes to answer the question "How is family heritage expressed in the work of Filipinos who conduct family tree mapping?"
If you are someone who's done family tree mapping or any sort of genealogical research on your ancestors, then be part of a mini FGD for my study. This will be done remotely, via Zoom. I am looking for 3-4 more participants.
If you are interested in the study and would like to participate, feel free to send me a message here, Facebook (Jericho Daniel Igdanes), or through email (jdigdanes@up.edu.ph).
