Hi all! I'm doing some research for my criminal justice degree and I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to complete this survey!

https://zosffce1egu.typeform.com/to/jhAEm12L

It's about 30-ish questions, mostly multiple choice and some open form questions. Shouldn't take very long at all and would be a great help if you participate! ❤

academic projects and research on online toxicity, hate speech, disinformation, and so on are descriptive talking about the same thing over and over and I find it strange that so many proposals are getting funding to repeat mundane evidential results

"We consider two interacting systems when one is treated classically while the other system remains quantum. Consistent dynamics of this coupling has been shown to exist, and explored in the context of treating space-time classically. Here, we prove that any such hybrid dynamics necessarily results in decoherence of the quantum system, and a breakdown in predictability in the classical phase space."

Genuine question: Every time I receive anonymous peer-review suggesting "major revisions", I find the revisions, in fact, really minor: Add a definition here, explain an argument more in detail over there, justify the choice for X, describe the data better. Usually much needed, but with no change in the overall argument, structure, etc.

Wondering if others feel the same way. Are we maybe afraid of being too lenient/not "academic" enough if the suggested revisions are not that big? #Academic

I feel like coming up with the most appropriate query to find papers (in my case, taking into account both the number of hits and the accuracy) in #academic search engines for a literature review is making me feel like an #AI #prompt #engineer ...

"The following review of the archeological and document evidence indicates that three events occurring in the first half of the first millennium BC trigger the emergence of a specialized and integrated classical economy after 500 BC: (i) growth in demand for silver as a medium of exchange in economies in the Near East; (ii) technical breakthroughs in hull construction and sailing rig in merchant shipping of the late Bronze Age; (iii) perfection of ferrous metallurgy into the European hinterland."

@academicchatter I recently published something on my personal website for the first time, and accidentally bumped into some interesting data on the #academic reach of #socialmedia.

I shared the content on #Mastodon first (November 1), and on #Twitter the day after. On November 20 I edited the post here, leading to two new boosts.

My toot received 6 boosts and 7 stars; my tweet got 6 retweets and 38 hearts. Yet, in terms of website traffic the two dates of Mastodon activity outperform Twitter.

Episode 8: The Audience Commodity

With the relaunch, we started by framing the events on #socialmedia of June 2023 through the lens of the #audiencecommodity a key piece of #academic work on #communications critical of existing approaches. 45 years later, I think it still holds up, and helps explain much of the business model of the modern #advertising web.

Humble suggestions: academics should try to write as if they want people to read and understand their work (and not as if they’re desperate for people to believe they’re really really smart)

#academic #philosophy

One of the by-products of the overwork, casualisation and rampant enforced precarity of #academic life is that we're all too burned out to do peer review for grants and papers.

The rigour - and therefore global influence - of academic work in the UK *relies* on the volunteer labour of academics. By attack our work-life balance, the entire quality of our scientific realm is undermined.

I think this is really cool. One of the fun things I get to do every semester is be the coach and sponsor of our #cybersecurity CTF teams here at #RPI. One of the major CTFs we compete in is the National Cyber League, which gets about 10,000 participants each semester.

This semester, we ranked FIRST in the nation out of the 521 colleges and universities that participated. Many of the best places to study cybersecurity in the world participate in the NCL, and it is my students who stand alone at the top.

This is obviously the students' success and not my own. Still feels good.

Today was Honors Convocation at dear old #RPI. It's one of my favorite days of the academic year; we get to celebrate the best of the best of what are already the best students anywhere in the world. I always make it a point to be part of the faculty procession, so that I can be there to see all my students get honored.

And I get to brag even more about my students; we (ITWS) are a small program and we had 4 students receive RPI's top student honor today, which goes to less than 1% of all students. I already know ITWS students are the best of the best, but seeing us punch so far above our weight all day every day and seeing it pay off at events like this make it all worth it. So proud of my students.

At the Zagreb Applied Ethics Conference, we had a plenary talk by Francesca Minerva about the Journal of Controversial Ideas:

"The Journal of Controversial Ideas offers a forum for careful, rigorous, unpolemical discussion of issues that are widely considered controversial, in the sense that certain views about them might be regarded by many people as morally, socially, or ideologically objectionable or offensive."
