The recording of the Writing with Executive Dysfunction workshop is available with corrected captions. The document that we drafted in it will be completed available next week on my substack.
Genuine question: Every time I receive anonymous peer-review suggesting "major revisions", I find the revisions, in fact, really minor: Add a definition here, explain an argument more in detail over there, justify the choice for X, describe the data better. Usually much needed, but with no change in the overall argument, structure, etc.
Wondering if others feel the same way. Are we maybe afraid of being too lenient/not "academic" enough if the suggested revisions are not that big? #Academic
I’ve a few more #bluesky invite codes if anyone can make use of them - maybe you’ve an #academic, #vegan or #CovidIsNotOver comrade who for whatever reason is still stuck on Xitter & might be persuaded over?
(I love the ‘don, but I know some folks find it intimidating - and really, whatever gets people off Twitter is good with me at this point 🤷♀️)
I feel like coming up with the most appropriate query to find papers (in my case, taking into account both the number of hits and the accuracy) in #academic search engines for a literature review is making me feel like an #AI#prompt#engineer ...
As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingual Learners.
If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?
Dear all—thank you so much for your boosts and help with this post. I've currently gathered 42 responses, which has been a great start. If you are a teacher, then please consider helping me out by adding your opinions to my research project.
I've begun my exploratory factor analysis, and I would love to have more responses to help improve validity. So far, the results are definitely giving me incredibly useful input. Once again, thank you!
Any suggestions for video conferencing hardware in #academic#teaching, i.e. for hybrid seminars and lectures? I had my eyes on owl but I wonder about alternatives.
One concern is the future existence of the producer e.g. for software security updates, where I would put more trust into long-existing companies like logitech for instance. Looking for comments from people who use it regularly. What quirks might occur?
It has arrived! I have a chapter in here on “The Folk of Folk Horror” alongside work from a bunch of far more interesting other people. Like @AndyPaciorekArt Now to find out what everyone else has written… #FolkHorror#academic#academia#film
@academicchatter I recently published something on my personal website for the first time, and accidentally bumped into some interesting data on the #academic reach of #socialmedia.
I shared the content on #Mastodon first (November 1), and on #Twitter the day after. On November 20 I edited the post here, leading to two new boosts.
My toot received 6 boosts and 7 stars; my tweet got 6 retweets and 38 hearts. Yet, in terms of website traffic the two dates of Mastodon activity outperform Twitter.
#Academic tip: find a collaborator who makes mascarpone cream for you, if you accept going over and commenting a section of their proposal.
(in my case, I also married her, but other deals are possible; no regrets on my side) #astrodon
In case it's not clear: for the first 2 weeks- until 12/4- applications are restricted to FSC employees (union rules). After that, anyone can apply. Deadline is 12/31.
FSC is located on central Long Island. Some faculty live here & some commute by car or train from NYC. I am an NYC train commuter.
I'm happy to answer questions- stamme@farmingdale.edu.
Tonight, my #mood is quite good. After an afternoon spent in different meetings to discuss the future of #astronomy in #France, I am happy that the #climate issues are becoming quite central to the discussions.
I'm in the #Humanities Commons instance, and we have free profiles like https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan that include a link to the old blue bird of Twitter, and members are increasingly leaving, so our admins at @hello might want to reconsider having that item in the next version of profiles.
