Michael Piotrowski<p>Two hours into the review that I was unable to do this morning due to admin urgencies, I'm happy to report that I’ve already filled out 2 of 5 sections of the review form (I don’t mean this sarcastically, this is a huge project that’s part of an even huger project, so this kind of review—which will also involve a panel meeting at the funder’s headquarters—is absolutely justified).</p><p>I guess I’m entitled to a dinner break… </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a></p>

Nate Gaylinn<p>The grad student union at UVM is bargaining with the administration, and holding protests to make their needs heard. We aren't paid anything close to a living wage, and many grad students don't even have reliable access to food.</p><p>The part that feels especially bleak to me is that the protests are in the form of "work ins." People bring their laptops to work from the hallways of the admin buildings. They do this because grad students are too busy and too insecure to stop working, even for this.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a></p>

Elen Le Foll 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇩🇪<p>Can I just say that some of my colleagues are an absolute joy to work with? Honestly, I feel like making today colleague-appreciation day! Not because anyone has done me a massive favour, but just because some collaborations just work out-of-the-box.

El Duvelle<p>"75% of scientific researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country" - must-watch if you haven't fully grasped yet the attack of Trump on US science.. It's somehow more impactful to see actual testimonies instead of facts and numbers:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO070E_dI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO070E_dI</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>The whole <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> thing is sad but the long-term damage of what he is doing against research and science, not just in the US but worldwide, is horrible. Just like the damage on the planet, it is not too late to resist of and fix it though! Universities should stick together, people should come out in support of scientists, PIs should come out of their silence - as in this video - to alert the public on the ongoing destruction. </p><p>Quoting <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@Nonya_Bidniss" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Nonya_Bidniss</span></a></span>:<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@Nonya_Bidniss/115464536239675362" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@Nonya_Bidnis</span><span class="invisible">s/115464536239675362</span></a></p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a></p>
Josh<p>For Halloween Throwback Thursday, here's a bit from 13 years ago (oooh spooky!) when "Ask Lovecraft" responded to my query about pedagogy in archaeology.
