I saw on Twitter earlier that maybe there won't be a NELS this (next?) year and my first thought was "so what?"

What value does NELS even provide?

It has all the straw-manning I've come to expect but that's time it also amounts to free advertising for a closed source model made by a for-profit corporation

If you could change one thing about academia, what would it be?

@PatThomson Reviewers will have a number of bids to read, so make sure they will understand precisely what you are bidding for and why within the first few sentences. The equivalent of the ‘elevator pitch’. #Bidwriting #highereducaton #AcademicMastdon

#ScienceMastadon and #AcademicMastdon seems to have a critical mass now. This is slowing turing into a great place to be.

My email inbox is filling up so rapidly today. Before I get sufficient time to make up my introvert mind to attend to one important email, a several more similarly important work-related emails pop up and demand my attention; this is terrible.

Still feeling a tinge of embarrassment from the start of term when I was invited to present my research in front of an audience of a few first year students and many more parents.

I ended up talking about the long history of science fiction and its relevance to a STEM college. In the process I happened to mention Johannes Kepler’s use of the figure of a witch in Astronomical Dream, his short story about lunar travel, to question Enlightenment science as the only valid form of knowledge. When I did, I could’ve sworn I heard the audience of STEM parents either audibly gasp or at least go very silent. And one of the senior admins, a natural scientist, turned to look at me.

I ended up saving face and redirecting my Q&A response. But now that I think about it, why *shouldn’t* we be talking about how the sciences have always relied on fiction, rhetoric, myth, and speculation in how they think and write about their work?

Hey everyone, @academicchatter

I'm a presentation trainer who works with researchers and PhDs, helping them build skills and confidence in public speaking.

I'll be doing tips on conferences, engagement, storytelling, slide design, presenting etc

Hoping to connect with any researchers out there who care about communicating the work out to the world, and want to be better at it.
