RE: https://fediscience.org/@volephd/116809607826811135 Well, it's time to post this gain. I'm looking for a new job starting next year. Please share it far and wide! #AcademicJob #FediJobs #FediHire #GetFediHired #LookingForJob #AcademicChatter #PhDLife #PostdocLife #AcademicMastodon

Since it remains unclear whether my current #PostDoc contract will be prolonged in January, I am starting to look for a new #AcademicJob! My expertise are #ecology, #ethology, #AnimalBehavior, with a focus on #olfaction in #mammals. I had a stint in #NeuroEthology, but that wasn't quite my cup […]

Wenn Fridays For Future sagte, dass man beim Klima doch bitte auf die Wissenschaft hören sollte, haben manche Konservative erklärt, dass das ein "Kult um Greta" sei. Wenn fanatische "Nur-noch-AfD"-Anhänger sektenartig die Propaganda ihrer Führer herunterbeten, heißt es, man "muss sie ernst nehmen".

Well, tomorrow I have a meeting with my boss to talk about prolonging my contract. Right after I give a talk about how terrible the situation for #postdoc.s is (precarious work environment, high prevalence of mental health issues). I can't decide whether the timing is great or terrible. I […]

What should digital infrastructure for open science look like, and more importantly, who should shape it? Universities and scholarly communities are starting to explore new directions together. This includes a living lab at Warwick, governance research with Princeton HCI and experiments with […]

Whenever I learn about a new statistical method: Do I know what I'm doing? - Highly debatable Do I hope for the best? - 100% It's not helping that I need to run things on an #HPC, so my failing forward is hogging resources. I sincerely hope #Reviewer2 is […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Today I was knee-deep in #Python dependency hell. At some point I used my browser to access the #HPC, to emulate #KDE, to launch another browser with #Jupyter. It still did not work. Current solution is to try making a minimal bundle and run on #GoogleCollab. Luckily it's only a tiny piece of […]

Together with @AvSchroeder we had a lovely chat with @jorgeluis about https://openscience.network It's a particular flavor of @Bonfire, aiming to meet the needs of researchers & in the early stages of development. I think it's a very worthwhile project (mostly for my potential second account […]

For anyone interested in #OpenScienceNetwork, the flavor of @Bonfire, we have a matrix room now: https://matrix.to/#/#osn:matrix.org (thanks @ivan) For more context, see: https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/117009903990716948

Seems like I don't have access via my university and the usual suspects don't have it listed yet. Could someone help out? https://doi.org/10.1163/1568539X-bja10379 #CanIHazPaper #AcademicMastodon

I'm looking for #comic suggestions about life as a #PostDoc for a department talk I'm preparing. I have a pretty good collection from @phdcomics and a few from @errantscience, although with the latter I feel that I must have missed some. If you can think of any other sources or specific comics […]

Don't tell IT, but I just realized that my #rstats GAM/BAM only used a single core on the #HPC while I requested 128 🫣 Now I'm up to 4 cores at least, no idea why #mgcv isn't using more. I didn't expect it to be this difficult to use more resources. #PhDLife #AcademicChatter #PostDocLife […]

Hey everyone, I'm on the look for new projects! I develop #MachineLearning models applied to spectroscopy and imaging, but experiences in lots of tasks related to #DataScience in #Imaging and image processing. Here's some more info about what I do. I'm looking for gigs, but happy to discuss […]

Danger Dan wurde vom ZDF ausgeladen, weil es keine "angemessen kritische Einordnung und Distanzierung von den problematischen Inhalten in der Sendung und in angemessener Länge" gäbe, trotz 7 Minuten dafür. Beim Sommerinterview mit Rechtsextremistin Weidel gibt es immer noch keine Live-Faktenchecks

Dass das ZDF Danger Dan den Auftritt verboten hat, war der falsche Weg. Sie hätten versuchen sollen, ihn inhaltlich zu stellen.

Small #rstats win: I successfully changed my code to run the heavy #GAM on an #HPC and the first (of 7) finished without any errors after 17h!!! Luckily it's holiday season, so nobody is complaining that I'm hogging 128 cores 😅 No I just need to hope that saving the results as rds works, so I […]

I would love to do work that makes the world better. I'm a librarian (MLIS), scholar, ethical AI expert, creative writer, and instructional designer. I specialize in knowledge management, user design, and systems design. I also need to work remotely for various reasons. I'm interested in […]

A very #DeutscheBahn experience. I'm currently on the #Railjet from #Denmark to #Prague, and there, as usual, is a staff change in #Padborg. To nobody's surprise, the train with the #DB staff is delayed, so we'll be here 20 minutes waiting. #RailTravel #SlowTravel

Let's try this again outside of the heat wave and weekend: I'm looking for help with #rstats, specifically larger #bam / #gam in #mgcv with NCV. It's running, but it has been about 60h by now, minimal CPU usage, and steadily climbing RAM usage. Any pointers how to speed things up are welcome! […]

Question for the #stats folks working with #mgcv and #gam / #bam: I'm dealing with a dataset with a high temporal autocorrelation, so after a lengthy discussion with the author of `gratia` (my current PI), we concluded that I should move away from AR(1) models and rather work with #NCV. No […]

Don't mind me, just testing some formatting 'test' `test`

Multitasking? Of course I can multitask! Look at me, waiting for my #rstats code to run and looking for new jobs, because my contract will end in 6 months and there hasn't been a clear commitment to prolong it, and drinking tea all at once! #AcademicChatter #AcademicLife #PhDLife #PostDocLife […]

Just saw a super yacht from my window, heading to the marina near #Aarhus. Designation #V7A7010, estimated value 350 million $. And of course it's under the flag of a tax haven (Marshall Islands). Tracker for the curious (with pictures) https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9865738 […]
