Daniel ColquittIn an exceedingly rare occurrence, today was a day filled with nothing but research. Our PhD students presenting their fabulous work and great discussions with colleagues and an external visitor. It’s days like today that remind me why I do this job. <a href="https://colquitt.xyz/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academicchatter</a> <a href="https://colquitt.xyz/tags/academiclife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academiclife</a>

Dr. Or M. BialikOne of the joys of working at a university is that I need to dip into dark corners of the internet to get only ~25% of the research papers I want/need to read and not ~97%.People, try to publish <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a>, or at least post <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/preprints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#preprints</a>.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicChatter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicPublishing</a>

K Belisario (she/her)I’m curious of people’s thoughts on the use of AI/ LLMs for manuscript writing. It seems as though many of my colleagues are using it for this purpose. I feel this has implications for me as a co-author who does not use AI in writing, particularly if I don’t know that they disclosed it to the journal at time of submission. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicChatter</a>

Cerstin MahlowUniversity-internal small research funding (20k) with a success rate of less than 10% (5 funded projects out of 62 applications). If I just calculate that each proposal needed one to two working days, the funding merely covers these hours from a very high controlling perspective—the university as 1 entity. Of course, the winning researchers get some hours funded to actually do something, everybody else just inputs unfunded hours.

Chelsea ThomptoAn email landed in my inbox today promoting a faculty retreat for my college with a large time slot on "AI for productivity". I responded in part with:"I say this without exaggeration: There is no way to adopt generic AI tools (like LLMs) at an institutional level in a way that is ethical." I hate that universities are often so willfully ignorant when it comes to adopting new technologies. As if they are somehow separate from the moral, ethical, and political implications of their development and use when they are in fact central to it. <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/criticalAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#criticalAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/futures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#futures</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academicchatter</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labor</a>

Dr PenThis morning I read another email from CC about their new certification programmes. They included a link to their blog hosted on Medium.

Dr. Evan J. GowanI have been rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation, one of my favourite shows from my childhood. There is one episode I watched yesterday where Captain Picard and Wesley Crusher are on a shuttlecraft together, with Wesley going for Starfleet exams. Picard asks Wesley if he read a book on philosophy that he gave to him. Wesley says he did not get far. Picard remarks that though he can succeed academically by practicing the subject matter that is on the examinations, to become a true leader requires knowledge of history and philosophy that is not taught in class. Picard also often reminds his subordinates of the importance of reading history. I think this is great advice, and something I try to practice myself.<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicChatter</a>
