@marcpinol.bsky.socialHonestly, the hardest part of my class is not doing the readings or even taking exams. It is getting through 90 minutes without half the room checking their phone. I don’t think most of them even notice they’re doing it. Lack of attention and focus is the new pandemic #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter

@kai-arzheimer.comI am a tried and tested polymath. And an eminence #tbp #AcademicChatter
@canihazcareer.bsky.socialDay 85: Grant delay: a sigh‑spun tightrope I must cartwheel across—each wobble a whispered vow the throne will never spy my tumble, just the court’s grim jest. ⏳ #AcademicChatter #canihazcareer
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Fossil fuel money helped weaken university independence, researchers argue. Their study traces decades of corporate influence on science.

@anna.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyMore catching up on my backlog:
Proud of Sreevidya Iyer for succesfully defending her MSc thesis on network anonymisation! https://latower.github.io/posts/2026/09/sreevidya-defends/
@dbellingradt.bsky.socialWhen I am uploading stuff to my university platform, a small 🛸 is flying to indicate the progress. What do you see, when you upload into your systems? #academicchatter
@canihazcareer.bsky.socialDay 84: I see the scientist—mouse click like a blitz, inbox snap yields a latte‑soaked playbook page. Still shouting audibles, though the refs have blown the whistle on this drive. ⏳ #AcademicChatter #canihazcareer
@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: Cancel grants “for convenience”? ED proposes new power. Higher ed groups warn of politicized funding.
@defendresearch.bsky.socialWriting
NSF slashed new social science grants by 89%. More than 30 program areas got ZERO awards. You don't defend science by dismantling it.
@whiteroseuc.bsky.socialWhat happens in the pivotal years between early career and senior leadership?

@danstowell.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@vicgrinberg We mostly cross our fingers and hope that GScholar won't enshittify before we finish our project. #AcademicChatter
@anna.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyI didn't get around to posting this earlier, but...
Proud of Roxana Băcălie for successfully defending her MSc thesis on satellite constellation design! 🛰️
@drpen.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyAcademic question. Please read image text! Source suggestions on staff and student consent for use of edtech.
@kai-arzheimer.comThis is fine #AcademicChatter
@ithinkwellhugh.bsky.socialThis is Nigel. Nigel has made a bad mistake.
He has just asked Peter what his research is about.
There goes the evening.

@defendresearch.bsky.socialICYMI: The AHA backs a bill to shield the Smithsonian from interference. Historical scholarship must be evidence-based.
@academicabuse.comOnce a #TitleIX complaint begins, anonymity ends. You're named. Cross-examined.
This petition asks Congress to fix that.
