Best time and place to realize that you don’t have access to your animal unit past midnight is definitely not at 12:05 AM, in front of the animal unit, with a rat 🙃 #PostDocLife
So the staff at #DartmouthCollege is apparently not allowed to tell individual students that they support the strike 🤔
Also, just in passing - I support the strike and all its demands, actually I think the demands are really not going far enough, did you known the PhD students are not even paid for the teaching they do??
Postdocs should really strike together with the students. Did you know that postdocs at #DartmouthCollege only have 14 days of holidays per year?? #PostdocLife
The last #HyperDriveI’ll be building here in the US!
(I’m leaving my current postdoc in 6 weeks to go on holidays and then maybe another postdoc in Glasgow!) #PostDocLife
I finally did it: I went to the top of MBS like a proper tourist.
I spent so many good times at GBTB.
Especially at the beginning, when I was still staying at hotels in SG's Central area, I spent many a first date strolling through the gardens or around Marina Bay at night.
My colleague and I went flying his kite on Marina Barrage. When my parents visited, they posed for pics in front of MBS and we saw a drone show in the gardens.
My best friend and I went to the flower dome together, and to the GBTB Christmas Market.
The supergrove trees are a popular location for visiting geocachers to host their Singapore events, so I've experienced the Garden Rhapsody many times, also at special occasions like LNY.
One of the things I'm going to miss most is all the lush green here in SG. It's beautiful and always cheers me up. I'm sad every time a tree gets taken down by a thunderstorm. I had an amazing view of all that green from the top of MBS.
Question: in your professional life, I'm assuming that you have some people in mind who you respect and admire, and whose behaviours you try to emulate?
I'm curious if those are mostly fellow academics, or mostly people outside of academia, or a pretty even mix? Does the set of people whose behaviours you try to emulate vary much over time?
Researchers of Mastodon, what do you all do to re-equilibrate after a big paper submission? My partner says the way I look after submitting my manuscript makes her think it must be like postpartum... 😂 #academiclife#postdoclife
Why can't just one single good work thing happen to me without a guy finding it necessary to remind me that my purpose in life is to be fucked by men, and that I'm not even good enough for that?
Like... just why?
Something positive happened and now I feel like shit.
My opinion on the lab size discussion: labs shouldn't have more than one Ranger, one Dwarf, one Elf, one disheveled Wizard, one Steward of Gondor and four Halflings. Maybe room for a silly little folk obsessed with getting that perfect experiment #LOTR#ScienceChat#PhDLife#PostdocLife
It breaks my heart thinking about all the #students who were ready to start their new #MSc or #phd in foreign countries and now they have to give up because they cannot travel from many more countries other than #Israel and #Palestine
I’ve started an #AcWri group in the Musicology Department at Uppsala University, and this afternoon is our first meeting. So of course I’ve arranged a little #fika. 🙂
Today is my first "doctoral birthday": one year ago today I defended my dissertation and became a doctor. My parents remembered and congratulated me this morning 😭 🥰
Last week, I presented the work I did with prof. Kuldeep Meel and prof. Arunabha Sen at IJCAI 2023.
We showed the benefits of reducing a problem to a computationally harder problem (yes, you read that right!), by demonstrating how it allows us to solve much larger problem instances.
It was so much fun to finally share this work with so many fantastic researchers at IJCAI! Thank you to all organisers for making this conference possible. I'm also super grateful to the reviewers who gave us great feedback!
