The idea that a woman's career comes at the expense of her family, while a man's career is seen as a way to support his family, is rooted in sexist stereotypes and reinforces harmful gender roles.

Challenge sexism. Choose equality.

This week, I have spent the 100th night in the sleep lab for our #RegisteredReport . 76 of 92 participants are done. I am looking forward to going back to a regular sleep schedule in a couple of months!

Why do these people hate their country so much?

#HigherEd is the last jewel in the dwindling crown of modern Britain. Break that, and we've got nothing left but the delusion of British exceptionalism.

Academic Chatter™ I like journals. Lots of journals. I also use my phone calendar, but journals (long-term planning) and sticky notes (immediate actions).

Ana Paula Motta Academic Mom, PhD Academic Chatter™ My husband and I are respectively in forestry and geography with no family support nearby. We take turns to conduct fieldwork and the other one stays home with the child. Too expensive for everyone to travel especially as I do research overseas.

Dr Martina A. Caretta Academic Mom, PhD Academic Chatter™ I am interested to know how other parents manage with that. Partner and I are both archaeologists & have a lot of fieldwork (have small kids) . We have no family support that can help while away. Do you rely on local nannies when travelling?

Just left for 2weeks of international fieldwork with a crying toddler having very rough nights. Seriously rethinking the viability of continuing doing field research (I'm in geography). What did you do when your kids were small? Academic Mom, PhD Academic Chatter™

Academic Chatter™ A large fraction of research publications are not understandable even to researchers who work in the same or closely related areas

Academic Chatter™ Dr. Elle As a molecular biologist, I have mixed feelings. I agree with your overall point, but I also feel technical writing has become lazy with jargon to the point that it's often a jumble of loosely organized facts without any effort to make a cohesive and comprehensible narrative.

Academic Chatter™ Dr. Elle This is an interesting conversation! I've been thinking lately about the way that 'jargon' plays an important role in science because it can describe something with specificity and without taking on other meanings of more general terms.

'According to Google Scholar, Berto published 871 studies between the 2018 and 2023 calendar years.'
38 papers already published in 2024 i.e. one paper every 3.6 days ...

UK University Sector is one of our few standout successes but it's being starved by the Tory hatred of foreigners we all have to pretend isn't just small minded bigotry (don't be an out of touch elitist! Daily Mail readers have legitimate concerns etc etc)

Academic Chatter™ I love Microsoft’s To-Do app. Set deadlines and reminders; break down projects into manageable steps and assign deadlines. Multiple people can even work off the same list!!

What to-do/productivity apps do you use?

Prof Deborah Sugg Ryan UK Research and Innovation Arts and Humanities Research Council I bet there are loads that are good enough, but they are drowning under their teaching workload / haven't seen the call / don't get any support in honing applications/ don't have a mentor who would encourage them to apply (etc etc etc) Academic Chatter™

Wow! Not a single person from a post-92 is good enough to be in the 2024 cohort of New Generation Thinkers announced by BBC and AHRC – UKRI ⁦UK Research and Innovation⁩ ⁦Arts and Humanities Research Council⁩ ukri.org/news/2024-coho…

I think the bridge between research papers and non-technical readers needs improvement, along with the education system. I don't think it makes sense to have researchers talk to each other in such a way that the average person can understand. We need a functioning research

Academic Chatter™ I recently downloaded Todoist and it has been really helpful as someone who struggles with ADHD. The moment I have a thought about a task I put it down on the app immediately. App is synced between all my devices so it is always updated. There are very cool features to prioritize
