I just asked Claude to give me information on TRLs on different technologies, and it cited a peer-reviewed paper in Science stating them, only for me to find out that the paper shows the "TRLs outputted by ChatGPT and Gemini". Great stuff. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #AI

Challenges and opportunities for quantum information hardware

Quantum technologies have made impressive progress over the past decade. In some areas, such as quantum sensing and key distribution, these technologies are moving from the laboratory to enable real-w...

AMOC: Is global warming tipping key Atlantic ocean currents towards ‘collapse’?

The AMOC is under threat from human-caused climate change, as warming seas, melting ice and increased rainfall upset the temperature and salt balance of the North Atlantic.

Dear @nature.com , this was published in 2024. Why do you still allow this? Data should be deposited upon publication. #openscience

Good to see that Plan S is moving forward! Loved catching up on the latest in #OpenAccess, and debating the for-profit publishing system with our unsuspecting PhD students 😅 Bonus: historical tangent on the rise of commercial journals under #Maxwell and #Elsevier www.linkedin.com/posts/sal-dc...

If you still don’t think it’s too late, then congratulations! Billions of dollars of propaganda did not work on you 🙌

This is also true for research lab cleanouts #labclean

During the last six months there’s been a substantial increase in academics approaching me to ask about leaving #academia… This article articulates many of the reasons why they’re doing that…

"It is impossible to be a top-line manager and administrator and mentor and researcher and writer and outreach officer and IT expert and online instructor and pedagogical innovator and recruiter and teacher and marker and external examiner and press pundit and grant bidder and editor."

Have jumped on the bandwagon and also ordered this. I mean, £6000 reduced to 10p for a shiny hardback geo text book - it would be rude not to!

Treatise of Geophysics hardback book costing just 10 cents right now on Elsevier, what the fuck? And shipping for free? Can we actually make Elsevier lose money? 🧪 #Geology ⚒️ shop.elsevier.com/books/treati...

This is 150% “a thing” in the academy. A friend of mine (WoC) recently bailed on a TT job after just 2 years for a diff Uni. She’s a rockstar, but right after hiring her they started reneging on every promise they’d made in her tenure pkg. I hope the new gig treats her better, but I’m not hopeful.

Thinking a lot about this article today after three relatively junior women, including me, resigned from my department—two of us deciding to leave academia entirely—in a little over a month.

Do you work in ecology/evolution? Did you do a study that is too small to publish as a full manuscript? Negative results? Part of a larger effort? Consider publishing in microPublication Biology: EEB! www.micropublication.org/journals/bio... Short papers, one figure. And we peer review! Please RT

I really enjoy the science and climate community here and I would love for it to grow. If you’re still on X, why not use it to invite people to come over here? I do, every week! RT if you agree 😁

No, we do not have only 'two years left to save the earth.' First, it's not about saving the earth. This ball of rock will be orbiting the sun long after we're gone. It's about saving all of us living things that call it home. Second, there is no such deadline. What the science says is very clear:

And if you try to do that as a woman you're seen as uncollegial

Izzy Jayasinghe@ijayas.bsky.social · 2y ago

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

Every once in a while I check in on Twitter/X and it’s like walking into some kind of white supremacist street gang fraternity house and finding a bunch of my friends and colleagues hanging out in a corner talking about grant applications while passersby are getting assaulted across the room

"Up a whopping 7.69 from 420.24 a year ago." Holy fuck.
