I think #AcademicChatter #PhDchat #ECRchat could be relevant but I'm not sure how much they are used here
Great #PostDoc opportunity at #UNSW - the successful applicant will use climate model simulations to investigate the climate processes that lead to relationships between climate state, rainfall intensity, and groundwater recharge.

Fantastic PhD opportunity at Northumbria University with Dr. Monika Markowska -"Unravelling past dryland hydroclimate"
Mon is a good egg - maybe the most important criteria for doing a PhD!
Hey brains trust, I am facilitating some #ShutUpAndWrite sessions at #MPIC for the next 6 weeks. We are doing 2 hour sessions. I'm planning ten minutes of 'intention setting', 50 minutes of work, then a 10 minute break to chat, then 50 minutes work.
Any suggestions welcome. I've done pomodoros in the past, but found a lot of the group wouldwork through the five minute break.
6 years since my post-PhD bike tour in Patagonia. The friction between being career oriented and pursuing that ephemeral research career, while also being constantly tempted to sell all my stuff and travel the world is real.
I ended my PhD completely burned out and a husk of a person. Spending 3 months in a tent cycling and hiking every day, rising and sleeping with the sun, was so restorative.
It seems that MCRs may just be 'ageing out' as more senior academics delay retirement/there are no new positions being created. In conversation about this with my office mate, we were discussing what it will be like when we are old academics (assuming we snag that dream job somewhere), and delaying our own retirement because we will probably still be paying off our homes, as the longer duration spent postdocing now delays those 'adult' decisions.
The past few years, we have been collecting demographic data with conference registration for the association I'm involved in. My Friday Fun was to pull the data together and have a look, and as usual, it's kind of depressing (if you are stuck in postdoc limbo, and/or Not A Man). The trend of declining representation of Not Men with career progression no longer shocks me. What stood out to me this year was the high number of academics relative to MCRs. (1/2)
In today's attempt to be a more organised person, how are people organising their notes/annotated bibliographies? I'm trying to become more methodical with my reading and note taking.
Vielen dank!
We're starting a paper discussion group at work - any suggestions on how to structure it would be welcome :)

Nice #academic start to the new year with an accepted (revised) manuscript and an overly generous editor comment: "Sometimes it is such a pleasure to read a text that I don’t want to take a break." #AcademicChatter #ECRchat
Back in August, my (at this stage, understandably slightly impatient) co-author asked "Are you planing on submitting this paper this year?" and I answered "Oh, absolutely, I'll definitely get it done this year!". It was a tight one, but I am pleased to report that I kept my promise: Paper submitted!

What do people use for multiple project management? I'm looking for a simple solution to keep track of where I and colleagues are at on multiple projects, what the upcoming tasks are, and when the deadlines are. Any tips? My previous solution of colour-coded e-mail inbox + brain is not coping anymore...
