Talking to the person who took over the Academic Writing class I taught in my old position.
Me: 😅 Hope you won't have too much GenAI in the final assignment.
Them: 😡 They are already using it in classwork.
Me: 😯 You set rules on that?
Them: 🤬 First class! They just don't give a shit.

High-stakes exams inflate a gender gap and contribute to systematic grading errors in one introductory physics series A study in introductory physics suggests high-stakes exams are causing a gender gap, rather than measuring it.

Our new research indicates that the gender gap in intro physics is an artifact correlated with the “stakes” associated with physics exams and is therefore NOT due to differences in preparation or understanding. 🧪🧵 #acadmicsky #HigherEd #EduSky #STEMed link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/...

This GoFundMe is legit. I fully intend to use these funds to develop the project. There is a link to a version of the full grant proposal, which includes a budget.

I do get to pay myself the first $500. I would then pay 2 PhD's $500 each to review the instrument.

I do need the money.

There is an undergrad student writing a paper in our lobby on a 1960s era typewriter. #acadmicsky #currentsituation

Every time my first paper (now over 13 years old and a bit niche) is cited, still feels weird and amazing to me.

CfP pster for "Law and Contacts in the Irish Sea Region. White print on green blackgroudn with some detaisl picked out in gold and golden celtic know inspired framing. In recent years there has been a rapid expansion in the study of law in the Irish Sea Region. Research has steadily progressed beyond the study of law texts themselves and is starting to brush shoulders with other thematic strands, such as emotion, normativity, identity, culture and gender. This area is still in its infancy and there are a number of directions which are yet to be explored. This session will provide a window into current research and future directions of law and the Irish sea region and its contacts with contemporary cultures, such as the Norse, Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Normans. Topics can include, but are not limited to: - Diaspora and networks - Linguistic and philological developments - Legal and national identities - Gender and emotion - Religion and cultural memory - Political landscapes - Legal procedures - Nationalism and reception of medieval law - Internal developments and external influences We particularly encourage submission from early career researchers and work-in-progress projects. Talks will be 15-20 minutes long, with the option for hybrid participation. Please submit a title, a 150-word abstract and a short bio by Friday 19th of September to hannah.evans@liverpool.ac.uk and frenzel@liverpool.ac.uk. Organisers: Hannah Evans & Nikolaus Frenzel, Institute of Irish Studies, University of Liverpool

How would you define work-life balance?

‘In 1641, John Milton accused Oxford and Cambridge of being “poyson’d and choak’d” by anti-intellectual conformity; in 1642, he wrote that “monkish and miserable sophistry … stopt and hinderd all true and generous philosophy from entring.”’ #AcadmicSky

Is there already an effort by the Medical Journals to organize a mutual defense pact? Sooner is better, as intense reactions to tentative attacks will limit the damage the Trump administration can do by peeling off individual journals. #AcadmicSky #MedSky #SciSky

Republicans Will Cut Off Student Loan Forgiveness For Medical Residents Under New Plan Buried deep in a new bill is a major change that would cut off a popular federal student loan forgiveness program for medical and dental residents.

I wrote my reps and the Education & Workforce Committee about the student loan proposals. Here's what they want to do with PSLF for med/dental students. Rural areas will not be able to entice them now. Just one small piece of many harsh ideas. #AcadmicSky #EduSky #studentloans #Pell

The time it takes to #write and #rewrite a research monography is extensive (understatement), and you sit, sit, sit on a chair all day. So, in between stretches of writing I made some plum and rhubarb jam. The writing is slow but I feel good about the jam. #AcadmicSky #PhDlife @ioe.bsky.social
