Hi. 👋 Academics?

This applies to your university too. Take the days you’ve earned, without regret or apology.

Class prep for this week. Helping 1st year students in optical microscopy and hopefully lead them to love looking at minerals in thin sections. Any good tips or useful online resources that you consider valuable?

ChatGPT use shows that the grant-application system is broken The fact that artificial intelligence can do much of the work makes a mockery of the process. It’s time to make it easier for scientists to ask for research funding. The fact that artificial intelli...

"… people might see the use of ChatGPT in writing grant proposals as cheating, but it highlights a much bigger problem: what is the point of asking scientists to write documents that can be easily created with AI? What value are we adding?"

Revising isn’t the same as editing – and that’s much more important than it sounds The other day, I was pounding the keyboard as I drafted what will become Chapter 5 of my (coauthored) new book, Helping Students Write. As often happens to me, I hesitated over word choice: I typed ��...

True to this. In the UK I had a good experience. All paid by an officer with credit card and then cash in advance if requested. Where I am now, it's awful. It takes forever for them to approve and book things for you and it is always more expensive. But they pay what we advance 1m after the event

So since #Zircon won #MinCup23 that means it gets to be Speaker of the House now, right? Isn’t that how it works, @mineralcup.bsky.social?
