My #BlueSky experience so far...

#meme #Mastodon #academicLife

I have the feeling that this #Nature paper is motivating even more #scientists to quit #X than all #Musk's decisions over one year.

So many of my colleagues are now joining other social networks... 🤣

R.I.P. #X

"Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty"

Grad students: please, for the love of all things, make it so if I google "Your Name Astronomy Your University" I can find YOUR email. Please don't make me email your advisor. No one likes that.

Premier jour de corrections, et je n'ai pleuré que deux fois, donc bon... je pense qu'on peut dire que cette journée était un succès. #itssomething #AcademicLife #auteur #littérature

#InTheTrainAgain After an intensive but very fruitfull #PLATO meeting in Prague, it’s time to take the #train back to Marseille. The first one has an awesome name and is travelling to Munich. Tomorrow morning, I will take another train to Paris and finally to Marseille.

Any resemblance to a private company launching rockets and polluting the night sky is purely coincidental - hopefully!

Just gave a talk at #ride2023 on building community among distance learning students, based on my experiences experimenting with my own course delivery during the pandemic. Thanks to all the students on #AA1051 who have given me constructive feedback over the last few years!

(First ever talk at a teaching and learning conference, rather than a science conference 😬)

Sometimes I feel like most academics are like that…

… but they always press “reply to all” by default

This will be my working space for the next 6 hours.

#InTheTrainAgain Today I’m traveling by #train to Munich and then tomorrow to Prague for a PLATO @esascience meeting (first face-to-face meeting since 2019).

I could have taken the #Ryanair direct flight, but this would have emitted 10x more CO2eq and in the context of #globalwarming and #ClimateChange, we should #StayGrounded as much as possible (🚅 instead of ✈️).

For the first time I had digital exams in my course "Digital electronics with VHDL". Just finished grading and it looks positive. The biggest change for me is that it takes much less time grading, however, making the exam takes way longer. Maybe that improves over time. But I'm quite certain that I will move all my courses over to digital exams. #AcademicLife #Exams

Off to the old Alma Mater (Uni of Hertfordshire) to do my first (MSc) viva as an examiner. Felling like a grown-up academic, I have come full circle! 🤩
I even have a purple corduroy jacket for the occasion…

Both students I picked for Master by research studies finally got their visa granted and are actually coming to Sweden. One of them got it 6 months too late. How is that OK? Looking forward to the letter I have to write for the migration office. 🙄 One individual study plan with 3 of four signatures done, one to go. God, what I love bureaucracy. 😬 #AcademicLife

I said "no" to something. I didn't want to. But I don't want to break.

#AcademicLife

So many people still need to understand how to use the “reply to all” option of #emails… ! 😳
It’s not really like emails were a new technology that still requires practice 🙄

Flowers for Valentine at the #CambridgeAstro during the daily coffee break. Nice 👍

I spent all of last week hammering out #JWST proposals, non-stop. This week it is back to postdoc applicant reviews, interviews, and selection. Even though the teaching semester is closed at #UDP, when will I get back to the two papers currently hiding behind the 20 open tabs in my browser??

Response from David Drumlin, 'Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, maybe never!!'
