Hey #AcademicTwitter

Collaborating on your paper/thesis/manuscript 🧑‍🤝‍🧑.

How do you do it?

Asking for a friend.

#AcademicChatter #ScienceTwitter
Wow so much participation, thank you everyone one.

I made a small tutorial on the "other" section. Coming in a tiny bit.

Also curious to hear the experiences, what annoys you about the current workflow.
Google Docs won!

You are then ready for the "Google Docs for Academics"

Google Docs won, nice!

Check out the "Google Docs for Academics" @authorea

It has a document history and simplifies citations immensely.

The most undervalued skill in academia?

Creativity.

As a young boy, I read in a magazine: Original ideas come from diverse impressions.

→ Four things that taught me something new & diverse:

• a website
• a book
• a newsletter
• a podcast

What are yours #ScienceTwitter? Image
Website: @aeonmag

Ad free essays on every conceivable topic.

At 2000 - 6000 words each article is a commitment.
But it leaves you transformed.

Aeon is what the internet should have been all about - consider donating, if you can afford. Image
@aeonmag Book: Olaf Stapledon, Star Maker

Science Fiction from 1937.

A man wakes up floating in space.
Witnesses billions of years of the universe evolving.
So who is the "Star Maker"?

Sci-Fi that ends up very spiritual & philosophic. I devoured this book. Image

PhD Planning 101

Before my PhD I worked as CEO of a software company for years. I did *a lot* of planning.

Here is what 90% of people get wrong:

❌Planning is not: WHAT and WHEN
✅Planning is the HOW to achieve goals

Learn how to plan the HOW:
🧵⬇️

#AcademicChatter
I use @obsdmd for everything:

🔸Note taking
🔸Reference management
🔸Planning

One tool to rule them: It will supercharge your academic workflow.

Download it here obsidian.md and create a new canvas:

Now let's start planning!
⚡️1. Define your Goals

Without the destination in mind, you won't arrive.

Know where you're going 🧭.

Identify what YOU want vs what is EXPECTED OF YOU.

Use colours for this.

Are you feeling like an Imposter in academia?

Good, you share something with A Einstein, M Curie and 70% of #ScienceTwitter.

Imposter syndrome is built on 3 psychological effects:

- Dunning-Kruger Effect
- Confirmation Bias
- Modesty Bias

This 🧵 is about disarming them⬇️
🌩️ Dunning-Kruger Effect

"Knowing very little about a thing leads you to overestimate your abilities"

But: The more you know, the easier something seems, thus you start overestimating others abilities.

Or underestimating yours: You feel like an imposter BECAUSE you excel.
🌩️ Confirmation Bias

"Tendency to seek confirmation, for what you believe in."

Once we start feeling like an imposter, we subconsciously seek out confirmation for it and thus "feed" the problem.

@DrJoeDispenza calls it "Addiction to failure"

Why do we forget what we learn, #AcademicTwitter?

A 3 week experiment: You read the same amount every day, but forget some %.

Forget only 30% daily → Loose ~88% of all information after 3 weeks.
😳 🫣 right!?

5% → Still loose 40% 🤬

3 takeaways & a solution in the 🧵
⬇️
1️⃣ The volume of memory is determined by your ability to remember

Look at the top 2 bars in the video. After a few days they reach a maximum.

Forgetting and learning, cancel each other out.

From all I could find out, this case is our average human. 🤷🏼

In more detail:
2️⃣ Remembering just a bit more, can pay off immensely

Compare the last two bars in the video. Going from remembering 85% to 95% every day (or forgetting 15% and 5% respectively), more than DOUBLES what you can learn after 21 days.

These are compounding effects.

Overwhelmed with 100s of papers for your research and literature review, #AcademicTwitter ?

Here is my solution: A Visual Reference Manager made with @obsdmd brand new canvas feature.

Your 🧠 is not a database - it's a network. #Academicchatter

Follow the 🧵 to learn how.
@obsdmd I use @obsdmd for all my academic needs.

I have 4 types of notes: Sources, Collections, Thoughts and Outlines.

In the title of the source note, I link the PDF of my paper/book chapter.

Here is a thread on how you can set up this system for yourself.

@obsdmd Let's create a new Canvas by using the button on the top left of Obsidians interface.
