I don't love it when someone wants me to call my boss during his vacation because the 2 of them forgot to complete some urgent task before the 🎄holidays. I'm in the corner now to practice saying no.🎓 #AcademicSky

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
A Place of Joy.

Today some uni colleagues had an argument about a task "required" to be done on paper because the last time they tried Excel, it didn't work.

Falls hier noch wer heiße Tipps für die Förderung von Kongressreisen außerhalb der EU hat, gern teilen! Würde wirklich gern meine aktuellen Forschungsergebnisse 1 breiten internationalen Publikum vorstellen, das großes Interesse signalisiert hat - leider wächst kein Geld auf meiner Topfpflanze. 🌵

There should be a maximum of, say, 15 days for universities to reimburse you for travel expenses. If you are a University in Germany that limit should go down to 7 days because inevitably it will turn to many times that because of your creepy paper documents only fetish.

More and more PIs/academics around me are leaving TwiX. The question remains: where/what now? How to promote achievements & announcements without any capacity to build up a profile.🎓 #AcademicSky

Nobody cares about your excuses hours after you didn't show up to a meeting that only would have made sense with you attending. How busy you were with very important other things only means you don't give a damn about the people waiting for you. Plus, you really are just bad at time management.
