If you think about academic tenure, I highly recommend this piece by Jacquelyn Bridgeman which, among other things, shows what it can look like when _any_ faculty member can sit in on tenure proceedings and review documents. #acadsky

Gang @evernote.bsky.social would now like to charge me an extra $100/year for...AI something something? I just need a place to stick tidbits that are useful for teaching and research across a handful of devices. Low cost and low risk of enshittification a plus. What are your suggestions? #acadsky

My students and average people are often surprised to learn that academics pay a fee to publish a open-access paper in a journal, and _always_ surprised to learn that those fees can be as high as $12000 USD. #acadsky

Elsevier and Springer Nature had profit margins in 2023 that rival those of large tech companies. Open access publication fees for some of the biggest publishers (Range is $200 to $12290)

I am still unsure whether in cases like this, it's more the reviewer's or the editor's fault. To the editors out there: Have you ever rejected/not used a reviewer's report AFTER retrieving it, realising their lack of qualification for the particular paper? #acadsky #peerreview

As someone with an autistic brother & an adult son & grandson with Tourette’s Syndrome and who is also a retired academic researcher, I have OPINIONS 😡 about a national registry. This woman is spot on! We need treatment & medication research and that costs money!
