Sometimes I miss the old Twitter, where I was connected not only with all of you lovely people, but also dozens/hundreds of my colleagues... we even used to have real discussions about work there, once upon a time #academicChatter

Being able to follow hashtags = totally underrated feature of the fedi

Good morning from Trier, where it is 10 degrees and the birds are talking Spring. I'll be giving a conference talk today and meeting a bunch of colleagues/friends from all over. Plus apparently, the hotel is giving me a free beer for not having my room cleaned? 🍺 That's a new one, and honestly better than the stale chips I normally get

good morning from cloudy, cold Dresden. Today: errands with dad, paperwork, maybe go outside. Hope I can find some time for grading some papers + swimming

Good morning! Today: networking meeting (about AI in the philologies, insert slight eyeroll here), then another networking meeting (party & inaugural lecture by two colleagues in computer science), then go to mom's house and drill holes with the big machine I rented at the library of things yesterday 💪 Nothing like three academics with PhDs to do menial chores around the house. Hope we manage before the neighbors get too annoyed

hello from the train, finally! Got stuck in Amsterdam (again) yesterday, then booked tickets on the international train for this morning. They’re still almost the only trains going so far… then: try to get over jet lag

we have that too here (got it for my parents in law) but we played it last night when everyone was tired and they didn’t even want to finish the round 😂 I’m guessing that’s not going to be played again on this trip

We’ve been playing a lot of card games (Flip 7, Skyjo) and my brother-in-law brought a new coop dungeon game Keep the Heroes Out, which we’re going to see if it gets a bit more interesting on a harder level. Otherwise we’re stuck with what we have here: maybe Codenames, card games (Schmear, Kaiser), possibly Stone Age (petty good Meeple placement game for kids+adults)

good morning from snowy Western Canada and happy new year to you!
Today: try to get jam filled Bismarcks (a German tradition) for the kids, games, maybe go cross country skiing, play games, get pizza for dinner with the family

Morgen: Schulstreik gegen Wehrpflicht. Teen2 im Haus (15J) hat mit organisiert und plakatiert, hält dort morgen eine selbst geschriebene Rede - die er gerade mit Teen1 (18J und am Studienort) per Telefon bespricht. Und ich sitze einfach hier auf der Couch und platze vor Stolz.

Story Time: Als mein Opa weit über 70 war, brauchte er eine zweite künstliche Hüfte. Schon damals wurde offen über den Preis diskutiert, zum Glück hat das jemand abgewürgt. Ein paar Jahre später tanzte er auf seiner Silberhochzeit (3. Ehe) auf dem Tisch. Heute ist er 97 und fit - schickt uns Emails zum Geburtstag und führt eine Exceltabelle, wo er seine Arzt- und Pflegerechnungen nachrechnet. #streeck und seine Diskussion sind ganz, ganz widerlich.

Chairing a conference session, preparing a PhD defense (tomorrow!) and the inaugural meeting of our Ethics committee (chairing that, too), then conference dinner. But it’s pouring all day again, so at least I won’t miss the outside 🌧️🌧️🌧️

we got a new #boardgame at Spiel so I hope we can try it, too. Otherwise only chores: laundry, cleaning, a paper review, some admin work, cook dinner. Ah, and I wanted to go swimming (public pool). It’s POURING out (again) so I have to see if I’ll be even leaving the house for that.

Good morning from overcast Oslo! I already sent an employment form for my PhD student to the uni admin (🤞), then urgently need to give feedback on some project proposals. Then early lunch + project meeting with colleagues, finally warm-up dinner for our "The Emoji Workshop" tomorrow.
I looked up where the public swimming places are (fjord swimming would be so cool 🤩 but maybe also too cool 🥶), but I may not find time...

Summer school still going strong! Today is my “short” day this week so I’ll be there “only” from 8 to 8 😅
Also, trying to take notes for the business meeting on Saturday; and possibly finish an overdue review of a MA thesis (100 pages 😱 how is this legal)

😄 so you agree on the skills + obsession front
I started scientific editing as a teenager in highschool, when I proofread + helped typeset my dad's book in Latex... so I've accumulated a lot of experience + pet peeves (it always surprises me though that others just don't care quite as much)

2025-05-27 10:49:19 UTC

There's certain jobs that I've always done when publishing with more senior colleagues (like formatting the references or tables, checking for consistency) and I thought "well obviously". But now that I'm mostly publishing with more junior colleagues I'm *still* doing those jobs, so I've come to think it's probably just a combination of a certain level of skills + obsession 🙃 #academicChatter
(ignoring the gender issue for now which may contribute to making "housekeeping" my job?!)

A second German citizen (travelling as a tourist) has been arrested at the US border and is being detained for deportation.
I definitely won't be travelling to the US any time soon, *especially* for science events. It's too easy to end up causing misunderstandings at the border (Are you there to work? Does the agent think you may want to stay?), and the agents have apparently been instructed to be even more suspicious and "crack down" on cases at will. #science #academicChatter #scienceAtRisk #usTravel

Yes. I've read the papers and made notes already, but there's a relatively complex review form to squeeze my comments into (computational linguistics conference papers, so they're relatively shorter and sometimes more careless than a journal paper)

In some engineering fields, incl. computer science, it can be difficult to find staff (especially PhD students, but also postdocs) for research projects, because talented people are likely to get better paying industry jobs
