1) By legislating a ban on Gain of Function Research (GOFR) in Florida, what are you advocating and promoting with regard to #biomedical research really DeSantis? #science
2) Are you legislating that only medical research in the state of Florida will be farther removed alternatives such as single-protein or replication-incompetent virus in vitro studies, in silico modeling,…
3) or further removed long-term genetic sequence comparison of samples collected from patients are under increasingly intense investigation to replace GOFR? #biomedical #research
Comprehensive exams in Ph.D. Programs for English need to change. The form of the exams -- and I am speaking my opinion on four different PhD granting programs in the USA -- is fucked.
There is far too much focus on time. Able-bodied notions of time. Being on time. Doing the exams in time. And "using" time in some kind of way that everybody just assumes (?) we know how to "use" our time.
I know of one program -- I'm looking at you, Canada -- where students may opt to take 24 hours to complete written exam on a given set of questions.
That is humane.
Other PhD programs rules and regulations about time? Not just inhumane, but silly.

-- a rich lib arts college into #highered “experimentation”
-- a “Little Uni” w/ PhD progs in sciences
-- square circle: low tenure density & high contingency
-- longstanding Junior Faculty Org (JFO) addressed contradiction

profs + trusteees collab on everything to do w/ education (curriculum to budget to donations);
admin there to "implement".
Nonetheless: profs salaried employees.

Hi everyone, as an annual meeting chair, I get asked a lot about how to get invited to speak at conferences. I learned a lot in the process, so here's a 🧵on tips for increasing your visibility at #academic conferences.
#academictwitter #medtwitter #meded #FOAMed @ASRA_Society
#academictwitter #medtwitter #meded #FOAMed @ASRA_Society
1/ Most important first step: be a member of that society and regularly attend and/or volunteer at the conferences. Make sure you vibe with them in addition to them vibing with you! It's the best way for folks to get to know what you're all about.
2/ Meet people, whether at conferences, on Twitter, or via collaborations. Let them see your expertise. Find a sponsor who has a connection to the society and share that you're interested in taking on more. If that sponsor is unsupportive or ghosts you, move on to the next one.
Sadly, 90% of PhD scholars don't know these resources and blog posts that will make their PhD journey easier.

How to survive the German (and other?) academic systems without having a permanent position?
A thread🧵.

Background:
In Germany, it is difficult to get a permanent position in academia without the typical CV (eg reasonable publication list, period working abroad, being young) AND if you do not fit into the classical categories of research (eg botany). And bad luck, of course.
In Germany, it is difficult to get a permanent position in academia without the typical CV (eg reasonable publication list, period working abroad, being young) AND if you do not fit into the classical categories of research (eg botany). And bad luck, of course.
Positions are advertised very specifically on a certain topic. Perfect, if you fit, nearly impossible if you don’t. I was once asked in an interview if I can analyse a certain kind of data set. Nope. Out. A habilitation is often expected, although usually only vaguely stated.
(2/4) YES.
In a recent guideline announced by the University Grants Commission (#UGC)has allowed to pursue two full time #academic programmes at the same time.
This guideline is a part of the National Education Policy & will be applicable from current academic year 2022-2023.

(3/4) A few pointers of guidelines are -
A. Students can pursue 2 degrees in physical-physical mode, physical-online mode or online-online mode.
Eg- B.A. & BCom can be done together.
B. Courses can be from the same #university or from different universities.

Here's a balanced thread on #academia vs #industry from the perspective of someone who has held senior positions in both. I'm going to write this thread because a lot of what I read here reduces to "my tribe is better than yours" or "grass is always greener".

The academic trade is fundamentally freedom for money.
As a Sr #academic you barely have a boss and really get to determine which of millions of options you can pursue. New intl grants? More policy engagement? Acad leadership? Media? Translational research? All up to you.

Making the most of this implies a couple of things:
1) you must have a clear path to a senior position to take advantage
2) your institution must not be over corporatizing.
Let's address these two

To those junior scholars having to spend multiple days on "zoom campus visits" first a big bravo, you are all doing a fabulous job in horrible circumstances! A few very small words of advice (see next threads) #academic twitter #anthrotwitter
1) Before you jump into the screen share provide a conversational intro (3-5 mins) to how you came to the project you are going to present and why it matters to you, what ideas are most important to you as a scholar right now beyond your project itself; then start the slides
2) Avoid putting transcriptions conversations/quotations on to your slides; maybe use images instead or some themes or provocations from the quotes you read in your text rather than the quote itself.

@narendramodi 18.11.21 [Writ Petition(s)(Civil) No(s).1240/21] Hon'ble SC dismissed writ petition filed by students seeking urgent directions to conduct Class X & XII #CBSE & #ICSE Term I exams in hybrid manner. #Omicron arrived post 18.11.21. Therefore, exams should be online.
#Children should not be made to suffer because of #Omicron. Centre and States must cancel all #offline #exams forthwith. As a nation, we cannot take such a massive risk & play with the lives of our children. Online prelims are done, marks should be part of board marksheet.
Children belong to households that have either lost family members due to #Covid19 or members who suffer from #comorbidities & cannot be vaccinated. #Omicron shouldn't be taken lightly. Save our children. Protect our children. Cancel all #offline #exams immediately.

I can say I lived in a great #rainforest because Sao Paulo & most of the coast of Brazil are in the Atlantic Forest 🌴🌺🐍. It is one of the 34 world’s #hotspots of #biodiversity, with more than 1500 plant species and 90% of original area loss. #VoiceIWS @IWS_Network
1/ Yes, #Academic reasoning of value proposition. I have over 11+ years as an academic & professor. Most academics are good at analyzing & assessing things, as to building #DisruptiveTechnology The hungriest & most talented #entrepreneurs who designed from 1st Principles $eGLD ⚡️
2/ They have sold public that somehow you can have #Academics analyze something that has NEVER been done before. The very premise of value proposition is faulty at its core. $eGLD & $ADA You don’t know what you don’t know in #DisruptiveTechnology that is what makes it disruptive
3/ Many people don’t even understand what the #DisruptiveTechnological cycle looks like, behaves like or that this is what they are investing in. #CriticalThinking has all been lost among some. The level of comfort & deception is powerful. $ADA will do well but any one believing
What a day at the @IMDSymposium, hearing from @KatyRR, @SeanGreenMusic, @ChrisPoonMD, @musicbeater, @marcshaiman, @lippaofficial, @LacketyLac, @stephenoremus, @StuartMorleyMD and others. Can’t wait for tomorrow! In other news my kids glammed up using make up and hair chalk 😂🧑🎤👩🎤
