#ChatGPT is patient and kind; it does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. ChatGPT bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things

If you want to help victims of the earthquake in Myanmar, I recommend donating to smaller initiatives:
1. Better Burma (www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...)
2. Advance Myanmar (www.advancemyanmar.org/myanmar-eart...)
3. My PhD student from Mandalay is collecting funds www.gofundme.com/f/donation-t...

Die Relevanz der Irrelevanz "Die Relevanz der Irrelevanz" published on 16 Aug 2021 by Brill | Fink.

Reminds me of this (Assuming you read Germen, or your AI) brill.com/display/titl...

The biggest bummer about students using AI is that AI provides answers. But what an aspiring academic needs to learn is to ask questions.

There’s a lot to say, but I want to remark on how committed Jonathan was to his writing practice. Academic writers get a bad rap, but J. handled complex technical subjects with confidence and grace. He loved the craft and worked at it, intentionally and hard; and he inspired others to do the same.

I have changed the reading for my class next week to Jonathan Sterne writing on Hearing, to celebrate this groundbreaking thinker at this heartbreaking juncture.

Right? Isn’t it? Aren’t they? To me these are expressions of unexamined anglo-centrism, both being particular to and widely used in American and British English. I find them intellectually abusive because of their coercive logic.

I wonder if the Scholars at Risk program by the German Academic Exchange Service will soon include American scholars at risk of deportation too. I think it should.

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

Texel mit Rollen von Rains

To us in Europe, America has become parenthetical.

- Language matters. It is painful to see how scholars have to present their ideas in a foreign language. Even though I take this into account given that I come from the same place, it is often difficult to see through the thicket of grammatical mistakes and imprecise terminology...

- format your text for readibility: use bullet points, selectively highlight important things in bold

- Read about data management in the humanities BEFORE you fill out a questionnaire about how you will manage your data.

- Keep in mind: the reviewer is asked to make a judgement on both the proposal itself and on the reserachers track record and achievements to date

- do mention parental leave in your CV, I am human too

- If you intend to create a database state which software you intend to use and why

- how did you get here: make explicit how the project is distinct from your previous research. I was less convinved by projects that seemed to be doing the same thing as the phd which already dated back 10 years.

- Projects that attempt to "fill a gap" or "contribute to a field" are much less convincing. Instead, figure out what new horizons your project might open up.

- Delimit your material. Describe explicitly what you will look at and what not.

- Invest into a good beginning. If the first 2-3 paragraphs were convincng or even instilled excitement in me, I read the rest of the proposal with much more leniency.

- when you intend to visit an archive state in detail what you hope to find there.

- Don't repeat yourself or copy entire sentences between sections. I do read the entire proposal and don't just skim it.

- Tell a story. It is challenging for any reviewer to read a project outside their own discipline. Help them by making your project sound exciting.

- Don't hesitate to use the entire word count. I don't mind reading a long proposal. Short proposals simply weren't substantial enough

- Give me an idea: Make your case by giving a concrete example. I have likely never seeen these films/plays/performances/books that you are interested in

Hehe

Die Gluckerkaraffe bitte nicht als Vase zweckentfremden! Mit Trockenblumen bestückt klingt sie doch nach nichts. Das ist mein Kommentar zu dem Bild mit dem Bild von Heidegger.
