Tip for students, supervisors and committee members: Anthropic's Claude is quite good in ingesting a large thesis PDF and coming up with PhD defense (practice) questions.

Another week of data analysis for my #PhDThesis comes to an end! Working a bit on image analysis to determine the resolution of the imaging system I've used on the atomic clouds. And trying to write a general function that manages to fit oscillations with different properties. (So, mostly I learned new #numpy and #pyplot functions :blobcatgiggle: )

Formalizations of the Tonelli-Shanks algorithm in ACL2, integration by substitution and the Banach-Tarski theorem in ACL2(r). ~ Jagadish Bapanapally. https://www.proquest.com/openview/1c86fe582160dae130ec4cd4129de8f8/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y #PhDThesis #ITP #ACL2 #Math 

I'm currently reading a #PhD thesis that refers to cited authors by first name only (Paul, Carolyn, Roy, etc.).

Is this a 'thing'? A citing convention?

The thesis is about #NarrativeEnquiry and #CriticalRealism

I rather like it. I feel like I am being told a story (all the evidence base is there, the argument holds, and cited authors are reified to the status of embodied people).

The computational content of abstract algebra and analysis. ~ Franziskus Wolfgang Josef Wiesnet. https://franziskuswiesnet.github.io/pdf/wiesnet2021computational.pdf #PhDThesis #Math #CompSci

Mechanised metamathematics (An investigation of first-order logic and set theory in constructive type theory). ~ Dominik Kirst. https://publikationen.sulb.uni-saarland.de/bitstream/20.500.11880/35364/1/thesis_final_screen.pdf #PhDThesis #ITP #Coq #Logic #Math

What if celebrate #IWD2023 by featuring two recent #scientific #publications with female first authors and involving some of the #molecular #fossils that I studied during my #PhDThesis?

Robles et al. (https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-19-493-2023) and Barhoumi et al. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2023.108014) reconstructed past #temperatures using #pollen and bacterial membrane lipids named #brGDGTs.

Indeed, membrane plasticity adjustments to #environmental changes also yield complementary #ClimateProxies.

Do you know VOSviewer?
Why is bibliometric analysis so important?

Outro:
I like to share with you my knowledge. Let me know if you need any help.

Hugely grateful for this, thanks to #AcademicMastodon via @conradhackett.

@cra1g's meme made it into my #AcWri #PhDThesis (p. 216) and despite searching high & low to credit it, I opted for a 'widely available online' get-out clause as it was non-commercial use.

I deliberately avoided including the meme in my book because I had no source for it.

Thank you, Craig - will update my references, accordingly 🙏🏽
