With all the rage about ChatGPT, have you ever wondered about the differences between AI and more classical technologies? Join me for a brief tour, with its relation to Aerospace. @RedDivulga, @filarramendi, @uc3m y @doctoradoUC3M. @PhDAaeroUC3M #PhD #Aerospace #Engineering
ChatGPT, and its equivalents work like buttonsmashing. You have a bajillion buttons, and them you mash, tweak, and tune them randomly. Like this young Alien Stu is doing in the Pixar short movie Lifted.
Stu is trying to learn how to abduct humans. I know, a very Aerospace oriented scenario. Consider him as Chatgpt in its beginnings. He pushes random buttons, and not surprisingly, nothing really works. However, the more he tries, the more he learns the buttons
In this thread, I’ll be breaking down my #PhD thesis completed @IMESuoe in 2022 with the support of @alwaleed_centre. I aimed to explore the early development of Tafsīr through the exegetical contributions of Sufyān al-Thawrī (d. 161/778).
#Tafsir #Quran #Exegesis

The complete thesis is available @EdUniMainLib Research Archive:

I analyzed exegetical traditions attributed to Sufyān, recorded in a unique and fragmentary manuscript in @RazaLibrary Rāmpūr. It has largely escaped a detailed historical-critical assessment in previous scholarship.

The German Federal Minister @starkwatzinger's amendment proposals to the Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act are an absolute slap in the face to everyone who's been invested in calling out current issues with German #academia and suggesting genuine solutions. #WissZeitVG 1/
For a start, much of the proposed "reform" is just hot air. E.g., Encouraging universities to give #PhD candidates an initial 3-year contract: Thankfully, most already do this and those that don't aren't going to be won over by a new "it would be nice if you could..." clause. 2/
Nothing about changing the fact that the 6-year cap on #PhD contracts applies regardless of whether the contract is 50%, 75% or 100% FTE. Thus effectively confirming that doctoral researchers on part-time contract are expected to complete their PhDs in their free time or quit. 3/
I have been researching relocation of people from #ProtectedAreas - v contentious – and also v nuanced. There r many issues/problems related to it, which I hope to discuss/address in my #PhD but here I share some good practices in #Wayanad #Kerala of people moving out from 1/6
#forests outside PAs. The people apply & then are funded. Conflict with #elephants is acute. Most-not all-people esp the younger generation have aspirations for better #education, jobs etc when they move out but find themselves disadvantaged as they lived in remote #forests 2/6
There is rarely skilling & other such support provided post relocation. But here, in #Wayanad the #Kerala #Forest Dept #RebiuldKerala has a program to provide skills to rebuild the lives of the displaced such as tailoring, electrical, driving etc 3/6
All the horrible things I have thought and done during my #PhD that I was absolutely sure nobody else was thinking or doing

Apart from things like, say, breathing, there are few things that we inherently HAVE TO DO
Whenever we say we *have* to do something, it is actually a choice we are making about what we prioritise + value more
I'm not saying this is easy
or that the choices are equally weighted

Secret 3: Be realistic: It's not a Nobel prize. #7PhDSecrets

After finding a journal, check if they're indexed or not.
I was surprised by the number and quality of articles I saw on DOAJ.

#illustration #sciart #career #phd #phdlife
1) Develop your artistic skills: Scientific illustration is a highly specialized field, and it requires a high level of skill in illustration, drawing, and design. Take classes in art, drawing, and graphic design to develop your skills.
2) Learn about the scientific subject matter: Scientific illustrators need to have a deep understanding of the scientific concepts they are illustrating. Take courses in the sciences, such as biology, physics, or chemistry, to gain a solid foundation in the subject matter.

How to find a bioinformatics #PhD position? I'm following these steps and you can take as well:
1. Look for open positions at universities and research institutes. Many academic institutions have websites that list available PhD positions, so you can check the websites of institutions that are of interest to you.
2. Network with people in the field. Attend conferences, workshops, and seminars related to bioinformatics, and talk to people about potential PhD positions. You may be able to find out about opportunities that are not widely advertised.

this thread sums up #academia so well. i hated so much of it, but kept telling myself the 10 % i love (the research) made up for the 90 % of shit the majority of the time.
i delayed leaving because of that 10 %.

#AcademicTwitter #phdchat #ucuRISING
leaving required a sort of mourning (appreciate this sounds dramatic); i was losing my identity as an academic
my skills and knowledge are so specialised who would even want me anyway?
why would i even want to lose what i have? i have academic freedom after all!!

then my planned redundancy went ahead even though we were eligible for furlough. my next plans (to go to Sweden) fell through because of the plague.
there were no jobs. i stopped being an academic by force. i thought i'd be miserable.

🔺 litmaps.com: shows you all the articles on your topic and cross-citation. Search using keywords, DOI, titles, and authors to visualize your field of interest
🔺 openknowledgemaps.org: comprehensively maps your research topic by 1) showing the main research streams within it, 2) identifying all relevant concepts and terms, and 3) clustering similar articles to make learning easier. It's a must!

1. Ability to work interdependently🔁(independently & with others).
Doing a PhD requires individual planning, as well as collaborating and working within teams. The ability to dive really deep into both these areas *simultaneously* is one of the defining features of a PhD.

2. Self-motivation & drive
Doing a PhD can also be hard & frustrating😮💨. You'll sometimes find yourself working alone, with no clear goals on the project, and no end in sight.
Making it work somehow nurtures your ability to motivate yourself when faced with hard situations.

If you’re considering an academic career, here’s how it works: #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
Through a highly competitive process you might be lucky enough to be accepted into a #PhD program where you earn something similar to the minimum wage.
Through a highly competitive process you might be lucky enough to be accepted into a #PhD program where you earn something similar to the minimum wage.
In that time you’re expected to do world class research to boost the profile of your supervisor and university. There are regular assessments to ensure you’re on track in living up to these expectations.
You don’t enjoy the workplace protections or rights that the academics do though, since you’re not categorised as an employee and can far more easily be dumped. There’s a good chance your mental health will decline. #AcademicMentalHealth #PhDVoice

Science advisers learn on the job. Nothing has quite prepared them for the delicate balancing act that is being a science adviser⚖️(whether formal or informal roles). They have to simultaneously meet the expectations and standards of both academic and policy colleagues. /2
Advisers are regularly taken aback by how different the policy world🌍turns out to be, compared to the academic world🪐they are used to. This includes their respective professional values, norms, practices and so on. /3
