The kind of people who would modify their car’s exhaust to be louder also scored high on the “psychopathy and sadism” scale.

In other news from India, after a week of ~45°C temp, which felt more like ~50°C due to the humidity, we finally had some light showers today!

America isn't making enough renewable energy to prevent severe climate change

In the United States specifically, the IEA says that renewable energy infrastructure needs to increase 50% more quickly than it already is based on 2022 numbers

When kids are taught about their ADHD, dyslexia, autism or other learning conditions, they feel empowered and are able to self-advocate, leading to better school performance and mental health. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/neurodivergent-kids-flourish-when-theyre-taught-how-their-brains-work/

I'm going to be honest and say that writing papers isn't my favorite activity, I'd rather be doing another experiment or analyzing data. Does anyone want to share their thoughts on how you make this activity more enjoyable? I'd appreciate it :brain_loading:

manisha,
@manisha@neuromatch.social avatar

@eliezyer same here! I enjoy non-academic writing because I can just let my thoughts flow. What breaks that train of thought for academic writing is having to insert references at appropriate locations. What I've found helpful is to keep most of the bibliography in a reference manager ready beforehand (i.e. keep collecting refs while the project is ongoing).

The following process is not necessarily enjoyable but this method of breaking the article down to smaller more manageable sections and tackling them in this order has been helpful for me:

  • I find it easier to keep detailed documentation of all the methods I use throughout the project. Edit that and bam, the Methods section is done!
  • my brain loves to hyperfocus on the title -- probably because it's a one-liner that usually highlights the key finding of the study. If I don't know this key finding, my brain simply refuses to focus on writing! The title also helps anchor how I write the introduction to the problem being addressed.
  • ime, most of the work for writing a paper is done once I've prepared the figures and ordered them. Writing figure legends and Results becomes straightforward then as I'm mostly describing what can be seen/inferred from the figures.
  • While I'm writing the results (and during the project), I make a note of assumptions and limitations, what we could've done better, what's missing, etc. That becomes the Future Directions/Discussion section.
  • I tend to write the abstract at the very end. I do enjoy writing this summary because most of the "heavy" work is done before reaching this stage 🙃

Génération Alpha: «Nous n’avons aucune chance de sauver la planète, c’est trop tard»

Ça me fait peur, mais je ne sais pas très bien comment réagir parce que c’est un sujet complexe

cela me rend triste car j’ai l’impression d’être arrivé un peu trop tard pour changer les choses

Je sais que la situation est inquiétante, mais je ne me sens pas touché directement

c’est aussi que l’école peine à leur faire prendre la mesure de la situation

Yesterday my institution forbade me or my intern to come on site during week-ends without a permanent researcher coming with us. Today they blocked any access to Sci-hub.
My employers manage to compromise the quality of both my experimental and theoretical work. It's quite impressive. Maybe they thought doing a PhD was too easy or smth.

The third official French platform today that doesn't work and where you can't access the service. 🤬 I give up and emigrate to the land of paper. At least the saying “I couldn't log in” works fabulously in this country! Everybody uses it. Every day.

Dear #Blind community, would you mind a question?

For a long while I had an ASCII-art hacker glider emblem in my profile bio. It was this:

. ۬. :

At some point I realized this might be a problem for people using screen readers. So I removed it from my bio.

I am still somewhat fond if it though, and wonder if maybe it wasn't in fact that big of a deal?

And more generally, what do you think of small ASCII-art bits like this? Are they extremely distracting? Are they acceptable?

Thank you!

#Trump is a busted flush. The GOP would have to be off its rocker to endorse a convicted felon and sex offender as their candidate. He must be under intense pressure behind the scenes to step aside. But who would they replace him with? 🐘

Fed up with election coverage (already)... well, why not check out this list of the top 20 Clint Eastwood films - its his 94th Birthday - and see if you agree with the ranking, or whether the Guardian has left out your favourite Eastwood movie.

It'll take your mind of the political stuff for a few minutes (and you need that, I know I did).
