Found my first image duplication in peer review.
Exciting! Depressing!

What next, do I even bother completing the review or do I stop here and flag it to the editor?

First class with my students in German linguistics this morning, I have a bad cold, can barely talk, and blocked my neck--the semester can begin! 😵‍💫 #AcademicChatter #Teaching #HigherEd

As a young playful researcher, I used to tackle every new problem like "let's go solve everything", only to fail miserably later as I discovered the subtleties of the problem & technical limitations. These days, as an old fox devising a new project, I instead tend to foresee all the hard walls from the beginning & I'm tempted to give up before I even start. I'm not sure what's the best. The 1st is a recipe for disappointment & huge time waste, the 2nd a recipe for inhibition... #academicchatter

Heading to a conference on Wednesday, a colleague I was hoping to meet there just got back from a conference I didn't attend (but probably a number of others were there as well). The colleague now has Covid. I was already planning on masking, but now I'm a bit more worried, especially as there are more conferences the following 2 weeks. Are we headed back to Zoom?

Aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!! TFW internal deadlines are way earlier than the funding agency's deadline and somehow you fail to notice until damn near last minute. No sleep til submission. #academia #AcademicChatter

Today I've worked from 7 am to 10 pm (with several breaks) and have been very productive*. But the thing I'm the proudest of is saying "no, thanks" to reviewing what sounded like a very interesting book for a cool journal. 💪 #AcademicChatter #ECRchat

* I am fully aware that this is not sustainable and am doing my best to return to a healthier #worklife balance asap.

If some idiot made me dictator for a day, my 1st act would be to require all publicly funded universities to maintain active emails for all authors for at least 10 years

is that really to much to ask ????

Controversial #academic opinion:
Search committees shouldn’t request letters of recommendation from candidates until the phone interview stage, at the earliest. Take the pressure off of the candidates, their mentors, and the committee members.

It has been ages since I last blogged. Not because I have no ideas, I have lots, just no time. I also have lots of half written blog posts that I simply haven't made time to finish. My unpublished section of my blog is starting to look a lot like my unfinished papers folder...

In southern German and Austrian dialect, "Grant" means bad mood, especially in relation to a specific Viennese kind of grumpiness. Remember this when you the grant application for your next short-term research gig. #academicChatter #IchBinHannah

What actions could a university take to make things better for #disabled staff and students?
Is there something you've seen done well, or wish for?

Yesterday I was visiting the museum of cinema in #Torino. I was amazed to discover that Camille Flammarion was using the magic lantern during his scientific conferences:

“In 1866 I started using limelight projection devices in my astronomy lectures: their bright images were an effective complement every to illustrate astronomic principles… We started by projecting the 30 images from my publication The Wonders of the Heavens which were the entire content of my illustrated conferences.”

… the first PowerPoint presentation in human history!

We loved seeing all of you at CP 2023 this year!

We hope everyone has recovered from their jet lag and managed to get some rest before the start of the Academic year.

If you want to reminisce about more relaxed time, you can find this year's pictures on our website: https://cp2023.a4cp.org

With so many universities in the U.S. racing toward the coveted R1(Carnegie Very High Research) status, will grant funding opportunities increase accordingly or will it become harder for everyone to compete for limited dollars?

Found this podcast episode quite refreshing. Leonard Cassuto & Robert Weisbuch argue for graduate school reform in their book "The New PhD."

If I a) land a tenure track job and b) end up in a department with grad students, this has to be part of the job.
