Academia was SO paranoid about us cheating-banned calculators in calc class and made us handwrite CS exams in the 2010s (even us take off our shoes lest we slip in notes) & did little to examine cultivating creativity, valuing humanities in a tech driven world and are now scrambling #academichatter
Another example- I wrote a 300 page novel PHD thesis with pioneering machine learning for the field--code I built from scratch. Did not get best the best department thesis. White guy with his 150 page dissertation on improving a current method won. #academichatter #feministscience #phdlife
Yeah classic. I developed a novel method. My male coworker used that method and flew through peer review with 1/2 page comment. Me, the paper rejected with 14 pages of reviewer comments nitipicking said method as biased. #academichatter #feministscience #academicpublishing

What's with no office space on campus too? Our 6 floor building has 4 tiny conference rooms, 200 sq ft offices with 4 people crammed in, but huge open spaces (noisy too) with students to congregate at eat at tables. If they want us on campus they need to make it worth our while. #academichatter
This is Dr. Flemmie Kittrell (1904-1980), expert in child health and nutrition. She was a leader in Home Economics--the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in home economics and to get a Ph.D. from Cornell University #womeninSTEM #academichatter #feministscience #internationalwomeninSTEM

I recently watched someone taking notes at an event on their laptop. In the bottom left hand corner was a pop-up chatGPT window. I leaned over and looked at the pop-up window. They turned and said to me, anything I hear that I don't know about, I just ask chatGPT. I smiled the smile of the […]
Academic publishing can be a #slow business: (finally) got a paper accepted today! In between the initial journal submission (rejects, and an R&R), I basically got #two kids...😄 #academichatter #momademia
I have 685 tabs open on my phone browser and they are either pubmed.nlm.nih.gov, BioRXiv.org, phys.org or journal pages! #sundaymusings #academichatter
I'm reading an excellent book that I am going to review, and I'm wondering why we generally use so many footnotes and so much bibliography in academic books. They drown our voices, interrupt the reading, and cannot be assimilated.

Also, this job totally made me understand that trope of the power-trippy RA in college media or whatever.
Only in my experience it was turned in-ward and the veterans took it out against us either in exclusion or being infantilizing (and some of us were older than them) #Blacksky #academichatter
What have been your best and worst parts of leaving academia? For me - Worst: losing sense of self, missing work with students. Best: more flexibility, less competitiveness, more time.
